Weigh Safe manufactures adjustable trailer hitches with a built-in tongue weight scale, letting drivers read tongue weight directly at the hitch instead of guessing. Products include adjustable ball mounts, weight distribution hitches, gooseneck balls and towing accessories, machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel on CNC equipment at the company's Lindon, Utah facility.
Weigh Safe entered the towing industry in November 2013 with a patented adjustable ball mount that had a tongue weight scale built into it. The product won Best New Tools and Equipment Product at that year's SEMA Show, and it addressed a genuine gap: tongue weight is one of the most important numbers in safe towing, and until then almost nobody could measure it without a truck scale or a bathroom scale and a lever. Founder Kevin McAllister spent more than a decade developing the design and accumulated fourteen U.S. patents over his career, nearly all of them aimed at safety.
The core product remains the adjustable ball mount, where a hydraulic gauge in the shank reads tongue weight as the trailer is coupled. Getting that number right keeps the tow vehicle's steering axle loaded and reduces the tendency toward trailer sway. The range has since grown to include the True Tow weight distribution system, which applies the same measurement principle to weight distribution setups, along with the CERT and Aero hitch lines, gooseneck balls and a broad range of towing accessories.
Weigh Safe is headquartered in Lindon, Utah, where its mechanical, manufacturing and electrical engineering teams work alongside production. Components are cut from aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel and high-quality steel, then machined to tight tolerances on CNC equipment. Every product moves through inspection and testing intended to meet or exceed published industry standards, and the company states it now manufactures more aluminum adjustable trailer hitches than any other U.S. hitch maker.
The products serve RV owners, boat and horse trailer owners, contractors and anyone towing near the limits of their vehicle, where knowing the actual tongue weight rather than estimating it changes how the rig behaves. Interchangeable hitch balls and keyed locks let one ball mount cover several trailers.

The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is an adjustable hitch system that mounts to a standard 2", 2.5" or 3" receiver. It features a slider mechanism that allows you to position the hitch ball at different heights along the draw bar to ensure your vehicle and trailer are properly aligned and level during towing.
The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is designed to secure to a standard 2", 2.5" or 3" receiver with a locking pin.
The Weigh Safe Hitch GTW ratings vary by ball size and shank length: 7,500 lbs. (1-7/8" ball), 8,000 lbs. (2" ball), 12,500 lbs. (2-5/16" ball & 2" shank), 18,500 lbs. (2-5/16" ball & 2.5" shank), and 21,000 lbs. (2-5/16" ball & 3" shank). Never exceed the lower rating between your tow vehicle manufacturer's load limit and the applicable Weigh Safe Hitch GTW rating.
The maximum tongue weight is 1,500 lbs. for the 2" shank version and 2,200 lbs. for the 2.5" and 3" shank versions. Tongue weight should be between 10-15% of gross trailer weight.
Place the Weigh Safe Slider (B) at the desired drop on the draw bar (C) to ensure that your vehicle and trailer are properly positioned. The slider can be adjusted along the draw bar to achieve the correct height alignment between your vehicle and trailer before locking it in place.
Once you have positioned the slider at the desired drop on the draw bar, insert the Dual Pin Key Lock Assembly (D) into the Weigh Safe Slider (B) and lock it in place by turning the key. Pull on the Dual Pin Key Lock Assembly to ensure the lock has securely engaged, then place the Dust Lock Cover (E) over the lock.
The Weigh Safe Hitch Ball Pin (A) is a critical safety component that must be fully inserted into the Weigh Safe Slider (B) before operation. Ensure the pin is inserted completely and do not operate the hitch without it in place.
Yes. Safety chains must be attached between your vehicle and trailer. Do not attach chains directly to the hitch itself.
Ratings range from 7,500 lbs. (1-7/8" ball) to 21,000 lbs. (2-5/16" ball & 3" shank). Never exceed the lower of your vehicle's tow capacity or the hitch rating.
Yes. The Dual Pin Key Lock Assembly must be securely locked in place and the Hitch Ball Pin must be fully inserted before operation.
Yes. Safety chains must be attached between vehicle and trailer, but not directly to the hitch.
