BALL COUPLER HITCHES:
Coupler Assembly includes a Latch
Lever, and Latch Lever Safety Pin or

locked and the Pin properly secured
before moving your trailer. The Pin
can be engaged fully only if the Ball
is properly seated in the Coupler.
Ball Hitch Assembly
HITCH BALLS come in a variety
of diameters and capacities. The
GVWR capacity is always stamped
on the Ball. Wells Cargo trailers
use either a 2” Ball or a 2
5
/

” Ball
depending on the GVWR of the
trailer. Always be sure the Hitch Ball
at least matches the GVWR of your
trailer. Always be sure the diameter of
the Hitch Ball matches the Coupler
diameter. Never attempt to tow
your trailer with improper size Ball.
Always keep Ball greased to avoid
excessive wear. Replace worn Hitch
Balls or Locking Dogs promptly.
GOOSENECK HITCHES: Your
Wells Cargo Gooseneck Trailer
will be equipped with one of four
hitch types pictured below. Be sure
the King Pin or 5th Wheel on tow
vehicle is rated for at least as much
weight as the GVWR of the Trailer.
Hitches (A, B & C pictured below)

5th Wheel Ball Coupler *
*Note: Ball Coupler Hitch (D.) requires Safety Chains
Recommended: Mount King Pin or
5th Wheel Hitch on the bed of the
tow vehicle. This lowers the center
of gravity for easier and safer
handling. Replace worn Hitch Pins
and 5th Wheel Jaws promptly.
Check with Tow Vehicle Manufacturer, Owners
Manual or Local Dealership for any Hitch installation
requirements. Hitches installed otherwise may void
your tow vehicle warranty.
SAFETY CHAINS: Your Wells
Cargo Trailer is equipped with Safety
Chains that meet the requirements
of D.O.T. Regulations 393.70.
Always attach the Chains by crossing
them, forming a “cradle”. If your
Coupler disengages for any reason,
the “cradle” will keep the Hitch from
dragging the ground. You’ll be able
to make an easier and safer stop.
