Features and Benefits of the J&J Safety Hitch

A conventional tow hitch uses a ball and clamp to connect the trailer and vehicle. Unfortunately, this system can be faulty and lead to preventable accidents, especially with inexperienced users who don’t know how to properly attach the trailer.

Thankfully, there is a better solution that provides greater flexibility and security for all towing needs, from light to heavy loads.

What Is the J&J Safety Hitch?

The J&J Safety Hitch was created by M.J. Reddenof Redden Classic Restoration and Supply, LLC. M.J. has years of experience as a cross country trucker and witnessed many accidents involving tractor-trailers and smaller vehicles that were pulling trailers. M.J. had the idea to develop a superior hitch solution that could prevent some of these accidents from occurring and save lives.

The purpose of the J&J Safety Hitch is to provide an increased range of movement to prevent the tow vehicle from overturning. The innovative design achieves greater flexibility and makes it easier to conduct repairs. It is more secure than the ball system that is conventional for towing, and simpler to hook on the tow vehicle.

What Are the Benefits and Advantages of the J&J Safety Hitch?

The design of the J&J Safety Hitch provides a host of benefits for the user. With the ease of use and increased security, it’s an obvious choice for any user, but can be especially beneficial for anyone who lacks experience or training.

Range of Movement

The wide bearing separation allows this unique style of hitch to move about in all directions. The extra motion prevents the hitch and trailer from slipping off when increased pressure is applied in a direction a conventional hitch is not meant to move. Instead of binding up, the J&J Safety Hitch is able to swivel into any angle.

Increased Safety

The full range of motion that lets the hitch swivel into any position needed is a wonderful safety feature. If an accident has occurred, the trailer will always be the one to flip over, sparing the vehicle and driver. The ability of the hitch to twist means that the trailer will not bind up and roll the vehicle. This decreased risk of rollover is crucial. If an incident does occur, there is a reduced chance that it will result in injury or extensive damage.

Since there is zero chance that the trailer and tow vehicle will disconnect, you eliminate the destruction that can result from an unattached trailer veering into traffic uncontrolled. The J&J Safety Hitch is also unique in that it prevents damage from occurring due to misuse or trying to overextend the acceptable range of motion.

Convenient Repairs

During the aftermath of an accident or breakdown, a ball hitch requires either the trailer or truck to be elevated with a jack to provide the access needed to make necessary repairs. The J&J Safety Hitch simplifies and speeds up the repair process. This hitch allows for either the trailer or tow vehicle to be tilted while the other stays solidly flat on the ground.

Simple Installation

A conventional hitch requires you to securely clamp the hitch onto the ball of the tow vehicle. This process can be time-consuming, frustrating, and lead to dangerous accidents if not done correctly. With the J&J Safety Hitch, installation is simplified. All you need to do is drop a pin into the correct place. There is no need to worry about technique since you won’t be able to pull away if the pin isn’t properly placed. 

Anti-Theft Device

The pin system doubles as an anti-theft device. Without the pin, the trailer can’t be moved. You can also lock an un-pinned trailer using an easy-to-find U-style motorcycle lock through the pivot hole. No one else will be able to hook to the trailer and steal it. With the chance of theft drastically lowered, insurance rates may also drop.

Construction Made to Last

The parts of the J&J Safety Hitch are designed to last. However, if wear occurs, it is easily spotted. If there is a need, the parts, which are made from standard components, can be replaced at a low cost.

Three sizes of the J&J Safety Hitch are expected, meaning that nearly any vehicle can benefit from this invention. Find out more about this exciting new product and opportunities for manufacturing, wholesale, retail, distribution, or licensing. Prototypes are also available to get a closer look.
