Important: Select the correct pintle hitch from our D-Value calculator below. For example, kN of Pintle Hook and other towing equipment correctly matches your vehicle and trailer.

D -Value for Pintle Hooks

D -Value for pintle hitches has long been a mystery for many when selecting the right size pintle hook. D-Value is the maximum horizontal load in kN given to a pintle hook.

D -Value for Pintle Hooks is critical when selecting the correct pintle hook because depending on your truck and trailer weight, the D-Value is changing.

“So I think I need a 10t pintle hook because I am towing an 8t trailer with a 20t truck.” The manufacturer states he does not have a D-Value. (in this case, you cannot use this pintle hook with no D-Value)

Now review our Min requirements for D-Value and select your truck GVM and Trailer ATM.

Important

If a pintle hook does not have a maximum D-Value, then you cannot calculate the correct towing combination.

Finally, you also may wish to choose a ring coupling to install on your trailer. Ring couplings fall into the same equation.
