Multi-Hitch Plate Makes Moving Equipment Easier
Dan Nahlers, the owner of Dan’s Custom Welding Tables, LLC., in Gibbon, Minn., says he’s been making multi-hitch plates for several years.
“I put one together to use at my place,” he says. “I figured if it worked well for me, someone else might find it handy too.”
Two hitch arms stick straight out from the hitch plate at a 45-degree angle, with one at the top of the plate and the other underneath it at the bottom of the plate.
“You can hook a regular wagon or something similar on the bottom arm,” Nahlers says. “The one above it works for gooseneck trailers. Just lift them up by the hitch and back them to wherever they need to go.
“The two other hitches, stored in arms on top of the plate, can both be interchanged with the bottom one,” he says. “So, if you’re backing a hay rack or grain wagon into a shed, you use the one already on there.”
The heavy-duty hitch plate is 3/8-in. thick and framed out with 2 1/4-in. square tubing. They’re also powder-coated and come in any color.
Items included with a multi-hitch plate are four male receiver hitches, two hitch pins, one clevis, two 2 5/16-in. balls, one 2-in. ball, and one mounted chain hook.
Each arm is extendable. “Most of the time, you’ll want the arm extended all the way out, and it works fine,” he says. “Plus, you’ll always have good visibility from the cab to see exactly what’s going on.”
Nahlers also offers a fifth-wheel camper attachment as well as a pintle-hitch attachment for larger and heavier equipment.
The multi-hitch plate retails for $1,459 and he ships them all over the country. The fifth-wheel camper attachment is $105, and the pintle-hitch attachment is $120.
