Towing hardware built for service bodies and municipal trucks
Buyers Products of Mentor, Ohio makes towing parts for trucks that pull equipment trailers for a living. Pintle hooks here run to 12 ton on a 2-1/2 inch receiver mount, the combination hitches are rated at 8 ton, and the service body receivers are Class 5 with 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch tubes on 44 inch and longer crossmembers. Hitch plates are drilled for specific cab-chassis frames, including the 2019 and newer GMC, Chevrolet and International 4500 to 6500 series.
This is the towing sub-collection of the Buyers Products catalogue. Receiver hitches for pickups and SUVs live in trailer hitches and wiring and the CURT and Draw-Tite brand pages.
Shop Buyers towing by type
Pintle hooks and combination hitches
A pintle hook takes a lunette ring and handles the shock loads of a dump trailer or equipment float better than a ball. Buyers lists receiver mount pintle hooks to 12 ton, 8 ton combination hitches that take a lunette ring or a hitch ball, and 2 inch pintle hitch mounts in single and multi-position, 9 inch shank form.
Service body hitch receivers and hitch plates
Class 4 and Class 5 service body receivers bolt across the frame behind a service or flatbed body, with 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch tubes. For cab-chassis trucks, the fabricators hitch plate gives a flat, drilled plate to hang a hook from, and the chassis-specific 4500 to 6500 plates come with a 2-1/2 inch receiver welded in.
Receiver tubes, ball mounts and hitch balls
Plain 2 inch receiver tubes are sold by shank length, 10 to 48 inch. Hitch balls come in chrome or zinc finish, singly and in bulk, and the adjustable tri-ball mount carries three ball sizes on one shank.
SAM snow plow hitch assemblies
SAM municipal highway plow hitches are the front-end side of towing: drop pin, bumper-to-axle hitch assemblies, Penn/ODOT and pin ear quick hitch swivel adapters, and 1 x 5 inch pin assemblies that replace Everest part 9B0157. The rest of the line is in SAM plow parts.
Safety chains, hitch pins and door hold backs
Class 4 trailer safety chain is listed by size and length, for example 3/8 x 35 inch with one forged eye slip hook, 30 proof. The hooks here also include trailer door hold backs and hook-and-keeper sets that hold a swing door open, plus Westcan 3-hook hangers and beacon mounts swept in by the same product types.
Common applications
Municipal fleets fit SAM plow hitches to plow trucks and 12 ton pintle hooks to tandem dumps. Contractors fit the Class 5 service body receiver once a body replaces the factory bumper hitch.

Choosing the right Buyers hitch
Start at the trailer. A lunette ring needs a pintle hook rated above the loaded trailer weight; a ball coupler needs the ball size stamped on the coupler. Then measure the truck side: receiver tube size, frame width for a service body receiver, and the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
