Advanced Shock Absorption Mechanism:
The Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box features internal pivot points that allow for dynamic movement between the box and the king pin. This design facilitates the absorption of vibrations and shocks, ensuring they are not transmitted to the vehicle. Inside, the pin box contains tubes with inner bars surrounded by rubber cords. These bars twist within the tubes in response to movement from the king pin but are restrained by the rubber cords, which absorb the energy and prevent excessive motion.
By upgrading to the Gen-Y Hitch torsion pin box, you're investing in a more stable and secure towing experience. Its robust construction and innovative shock-absorbing capabilities significantly improve ride quality, reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and trailer, and enhance overall safety on the road. Whether you're navigating rough terrains or making long hauls, this pin box is an essential upgrade for any serious trailer owner.
