Demco EZ Latch Trailer Coupler 2-5/16" Channel Mount — 21,000 lb Capacity, Zinc‑Coated Heavy‑Duty Steel

The Demco EZ Latch Trailer Coupler is an automatic, maintenance-free 2-5/16" channel-mount coupler rated to 21,000 lbs that locks securely onto a hitch ball without pins or extra tools.

Designed for heavy-duty towing, this coupler pairs a robust steel construction with a corrosion-resistant zinc finish and an automatic latch that engages as the coupler drops onto a 2-5/16" hitch ball. The composite handle resists weathering and the assembly meets SAE J684 safety criteria. It’s intended to simplify hookups while meeting industry performance expectations for trailers up to 21,000 lbs GVWR.

How does the automatic EZ Latch make hitching faster and more reliable?

The EZ Latch engages automatically when the coupler is lowered onto the hitch ball, eliminating the need to fumble with pins or levers. This reduces hookup time and helps avoid missed or insecure connections that can occur during manual coupling.

• Automatically latches on contact with the 2-5/16" ball for instant coupling.
• No separate safety pin required to meet the coupler’s locking function.
• Consistent operation in repetitive hookups—less human error.

Is this coupler durable enough for heavy trailers and harsh conditions?

Yes—the main body is made from high-strength steel and finished with a zinc coating to resist corrosion. The composite latch handle is built to withstand weather exposure and frequent use without needing lubrication or routine adjustments.

• Zinc-coated steel body prevents rust and extends service life.
• Composite handle resists cracking, swelling, and corrosion from elements.
• Rated to support trailers up to 21,000 lbs GVWR when properly mounted.

Will this fit my trailer and mounting setup?

The coupler is engineered for channel mount applications and accepts a standard 2-5/16" hitch ball, making it compatible with many heavy-duty trailers. Verify channel dimensions and trailer GVWR to ensure safe installation and operation.

• Designed for channel-mount installation commonly used on heavy trailers.
• Accepts standard 2-5/16" hitch balls used on most commercial-grade towing setups.
• Intended for trailers with a GVWR up to 21,000 lbs—check your trailer plate for rating confirmation.
