B&W Trailer Hitches Debuts Patriot 16K Rail-Mounted Fifth Wheel Slider Hitch

B&W Trailer Hitches, a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of heavy-duty, engineered trailer hitches and aftermarket truck/trailer accessories, is introducing a new 16,000-pound Patriot rail-mounted fifth wheel slider hitch.

The new 16,000-pound Patriot rail-mounted slider utilizes a locking mechanism gear-reduced cam ratio design, which is engineered to give the user a mechanical advantage.

The Patriot’s two, solid one-inch tubular steel carriage rails are designed with sturdy center supports that prevent the rails from deforming or binding as a result of flexing under load.

Hourglass-shaped rollers convey the carriage mechanism with fluid motion, regardless of topography. Once unlocked, the hitch is free to slide back into its maneuvering position and afterward, it glides up to its locked position just in front of the rear axle.

Noted Don Collins, president, DC’s RV Centers, said. “With its precise fittings and smooth, quiet operation, B&W’s Patriot 16K slider will enhance the end-user’s towing experience.”

B&W’s new Patriot 16K slider hitch accommodates 12 inches of slide and is well suited for popular short-bed pickup trucks that allow less travel distance to the cab.
