Fastway: ONESTEP™ Trailer Chock

Use This Post Clip for Email

Stabilize your trailer with a ONESTEP™ chock from Fastway, which positively locks both wheels to allow for secure walking around without unwanted wheel movement. When you’re ready to set up shop, the ONESTEP™ slides into place between your tires, where it can be set and locked by stepping down on the center. This action flattens the arms against the ground and presses the steel sides firmly against each tire to prevent unwanted rocking and rolling. To disengage, just pull the cable up and release the arms. Forget the cumbersome ratcheting of other chocks: thanks to Fastway’s smart engineering, you’ll be ready to get set up or depart quickly and with zero hassle.

Available in a single pack (84-00-4000), double pack (84-00-4840), and XL single pack (84-00-4150).

Features

  • Virtually eliminates unwanted trailer wheel movement
  • Positive wheel locking
  • Set and lock between two tires with a press of your foot
  • Quickly disengage by pulling up on cable
  • No cumbersome ratcheting
  • Available in singles, doubles, and XL singles

CURT (48407): SecureLatch™ Receiver-Mount Ball and Pintle Hitch for 2” Shank/Ball

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Strike. Drop. Auto-lock. With the SecureLatch™ from CURT, coupling is an easy three-step process.

Integrated into the SecureLatch™ pintle ball and hook combination is an automatic locking mechanism that secures the primary latch without any manual coupling required. Simply back your vehicle up to the lunette ring or coupler (the built-in striker plate helps stop and center the lunette ring), drop the ring down onto the ball and hook, and let the auto-locking latch do the rest! All you have to do after that is install the secondary safety pin.

By giving the SecureLatch™ a cupped design, CURT made it unique from other pintle hooks: instead of letting the ring slop with every acceleration, brake, and bump, the cupped hook holds the ring tighter fore and aft—resulting in smoother, quieter heavy-duty towing.

The 48407 SecureLatch™ ball and pintle combination is rated for 14,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 10,000 pounds ball capacity. It fits to a 2” coupler or a lunette ring with a 2 1/2” or 3” inside diameter and fits into any industry-standard 2” receiver. Its cast-iron construction features a premium dark-gray teridium powdercoat and is austempered for superior strength and wear resistance.

Features

  • Auto-locking system secures primary latch without manual coupling required.
  • Cupped hook tightly holds lunette ring fore and aft to reduce chucking and noise.
  • Built-in back plate helps position coupler or lunette ring for easier hookup.
  • Integrated, intermediate safety chain hangers keep chains off the ground.
  • Rated for 14,000 lb gross trailer weight and 10,000 lb ball capacity
  • Fits trailer hitches with a 2” x 2” receiver tube opening
  • Couples to 2” couplers or lunette rings with a 2 1/2” or 3” inside diameter
  • Cast-iron is austempered for superior strength and wear resistance.
  • Textured, dark-gray teridium finish for a premium look
  • Bright-gold, zinc-plated hardware for lasting corrosion resistance
  • Warranty: limited lifetime (1-year finish and parts)

Using exclusive CURT ShockDrop™ technology, the RockerBall™ cushion hitch transforms your towing experience by absorbing erratic trailer movement and rattling at the coupling point, providing a smoother ride and increased control and reducing the stress placed on your vehicle, receiver hitch, brakes, and suspension.

Unlike a traditional metal-on-metal connection that directly transfers vibration, jolting, chucking, noise, and wear to your tow rig, the RockerBall™ features an integrated cushion isolator that dramatically reduces jerking and jarring as you navigate bumps and potholes. And, with no airbags or bearings to service, the RockerBall™ is a low-maintenance dream that needs just a little zerk grease as needed.

Boasting forged-steel construction, a protective powdercoat, and a chrome-plated ball, the 45143 CURT kit includes a 2” ball mount with a 3” drop and a 2” shank to fit most class 3, 4, and 5 receiver hitches. An included anti-rattle shim kit ensures maximum vibration resistance.
