Technical Information:
The OzHitch 2T Override 4 Hole 4WD Trailer Coupling demonstrated compliance with the performance requirements of ADR 62/02 clause 12.3.2 for a maximum trailer ATM of 2,000kg (2T).
The OzHitch 2T Override 4 Hole 4WD Trailer Coupling (part number OZHITCH-OR-G-4H) has a cast coupling body, which has been galvanised. It is an overrun brake type coupling with an internal spring allowing for some longitudinal movement to operate the brakes. The main oscillating shaft of the coupling is 1.25” diameter with a stepped shank for a 1” UNC retaining lock nut. The lock nut is also fitted with a locking screw for added security to ensure the nut remains fixed.
The coupling head consists of a yoke (of nominal section thickness of 12mm) that can rotate completely within the cast coupling housing (to accommodate the lateral roll of the trailer). The yoke supports a universal joint by a ¾” UNC Grade 8.8 Bolt and lock nut. This universal joint offers a means to joining the coupling to the towbar attachment while still allowing full articulation. This bolt allows for longitudinal articulation. The universal joint utilises nylon bushes between the ¾” bolt and the yoke as well as being fitted with a grease nipple.
The coupling is secured to the trailer by 4 x ½ “ UNC Grade 8.8 Bolts in a nominal 184mm x 54mm rectangular bolt pattern.
We recommend using 4x ½” x 4″ UNC grade 8.8 bolts with nyloc nuts; however, the bolt length may vary depending on the thickness of your drawbar plate and specific installation requirements.
Coupling bolt torque: 90Nm.

Revolutionizing Off-Road Towing: The OzHitch Story
In the rugged expanse of the Australian outback, where every turn presents a new challenge, off-road enthusiasts demand more than just a hitch – they need a reliable companion that can withstand the toughest terrains. This demand for reliability and innovation sparked the creation of the OzHitch – a self-aligning off-road trailer coupling designed for Australian 4×4 adventurers.
The journey of the OzHitch began with a frustration familiar to many off-road drivers – the struggle of connecting and disconnecting traditional off-road hitches. Norm Hudson, an experienced off-road driver and entrepreneur, found himself bogged down in the unforgiving sands of the Finke River Gorge on a scorching outback day. As he wrestled with his hitch, cursing the fiddly alignment process, the idea for a better solution was born.
The vision was clear – to create the ultimate off-road hitch that would simplify the connection process and enhance safety and reliability. Thus, the OzHitch was born.
At the heart of the OzHitch is its innovative self-aligning technology, which eliminates the need for precise maneuvering during connection. Unlike traditional hitches, which often require multiple attempts to align the hitch halves, the OzHitch guides itself together with ease, saving time and frustration for drivers.
But innovation alone is not enough – durability and safety are paramount in the harsh conditions of the outback. The OzHitch exceeds Australian safety standards, providing peace of mind for drivers and ensuring reliable performance in even the most challenging environments.
Versatility is another hallmark of the OzHitch, designed to handle a variety of off-road terrains and towing conditions. Whether traversing soft sand, tackling steep inclines, or navigating rocky terrain, the OzHitch delivers consistent performance and ease of use.
The success of the OzHitch is not only evident in its innovative design but also in its rigorous testing procedures. Tested to 1.5 times its maximum load capacity, the OzHitch demonstrates exceptional strength and reliability, with a safety margin that surpasses expectations.
Today, the OzHitch stands as a testament to Australian ingenuity and innovation in the world of off-road towing. With its revolutionary design, unmatched durability, and unwavering commitment to safety, the OzHitch has earned its place as the go-to choice for off-road enthusiasts across the country.
