Stabilize Your Rota-Flex Pin Box for Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection

The Ultimate Connection ROTA-FLEX Lockout Kit is designed to safely disable the pivoting function of a Rota-Flex pin box when towing with the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection. By restricting the rotational movement built into the Rota-Flex system, this kit prevents excessive articulation that can place unnecessary stress on your hitch and truck during towing.

Specifically engineered for compatibility with the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection, the Lockout Kit helps create a more controlled, stable towing interface while protecting both the hitch assembly and trailer components.

Why Choose the ROTA-FLEX Lockout Kit?

Prevents unwanted pivoting of Rota-Flex pin boxes when used with the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection
Reduces stress on hitch and truck frame during acceleration, braking, and uneven terrain
Maintains proper hitch geometry for safer, more predictable towing performance
Simple bolt-on installation with no permanent modifications

How the ROTA-FLEX Lockout Kit Works

Rota-Flex pin boxes are designed to allow forward and backward pivot movement to absorb road shock. However, when paired with the Andersen Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection, that additional articulation can create excessive motion at the hitch connection point.

The Lockout Kit secures the pivot mechanism within the Rota-Flex pin box, eliminating rotational movement so the trailer and hitch move as a unified system. This stabilization helps maintain proper load alignment and reduces mechanical stress on the Ultimate Connection components.

By controlling movement at the pin box, the Lockout Kit helps ensure consistent hitch performance and improved towing stability.
