How Andersen Locking Pins Work

An Andersen Hitches Rapid Hitch with an Andersen Hitches Locking pin. You can see the locking pin inside of the hitch.

A locking hitch pin replaces a standard hitch pin and clip to secure your ball mount or towing accessory inside the receiver tube. Once inserted through the receiver and shank, the locking mechanism engages to prevent unauthorized removal.

Unlike basic hitch clips, a locking hitch pin helps protect your adjustable hitch or ball mount from theft while maintaining proper alignment and load stability during towing.

Available in multiple receiver sizes, Andersen Locking Pins are engineered to fit modern 2", 2-1/2", and 3" receiver systems commonly found on half-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton trucks.

Why Use a Locking Hitch Pin Instead of a Standard Hitch Pin?

When towing with valuable equipment like adjustable ball mounts or weight distribution systems, security matters.

The Rapid Hitch: Adjustable Ball Mount

The Andersen Rapid Hitch uses a receiver-mounted shank that can be secured with a locking hitch pin for added theft protection. A locking pin helps protect your adjustable ball mount when parked, stored, or left attached to your truck.

The EZ Hitch: Adjustable Ball Mount

When using the Andersen EZ Hitch for bumper pull towing, a locking hitch pin secures the ball mount inside the receiver. This prevents unauthorized removal and adds security for everyday towing setups.

The Weight Distribution Hitch

The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch shank installs into your receiver and can be secured with a locking hitch pin. Adding a locking pin helps protect your weight distribution system and ensures a stable, secure towing connection.

Alumistinger

The Andersen Alumistinger ball mount fits directly into your receiver hitch and can be secured with a locking hitch pin to prevent theft. Designed for lightweight strength and everyday towing, pairing the Alumistinger with a locking hitch pin adds an extra layer of security for your trailer hitch setup.
