This 12\" diameter lube plate is molded from wear-resistant plastic that cushions vibrations, spreads contact pressure, and minimizes metal-on-metal abrasion. Designed for quick, no-tools installation, it gives immediate protection and smoother towing without changes to your hitch or trailer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this lube plate reduce wear on my fifth wheel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eaz-Lift plate creates a sacrificial, low-friction interface between the trailer and hitch, preventing direct metal contact that leads to scoring and accelerated wear. Its wide 12\" surface covers critical bearing surfaces so contact forces are distributed rather than concentrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12\" diameter covers the hitching surface to limit metal-to-metal contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16\" thickness balances flexibility with durable wear resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-friction plastic reduces abrasion and extends hitch life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill installing the Eaz-Lift plate change my towing setup or require tools?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is designed to be straightforward and non-invasive: slide the plate into place on the trailer’s contact area with no drilling, bolts, or special tools needed.
