PSAUTO 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter — 12"–16" Adjustable Cushioned Converter with Shock Absorbent Mount

PSAUTO's adjustable cushioned adapter converts a 5th wheel connection into a gooseneck hitch with built-in impact cushioning and 12"–16" height adjustment.

Convert your trailer setup in minutes: this PSAUTO adapter lets you tow a 5th wheel trailer from a gooseneck hitch point by swapping the kingpin interface while keeping vibration damping and precise height control. Engineered steel construction, a shock-absorbing cushion element, and a simple adjustable clamp make it a practical option for farmers, contractors, and recreational haulers who want the flexibility to switch between hitch styles without changing trailers.

How does the cushioned adapter reduce hitch shock and vibration?

The adapter uses a purpose-designed cushion element between the kingpin mount and the gooseneck plate to absorb impact and reduce chatter from road irregularities. This softening reduces transmitted forces to the truck and trailer, improving comfort and protecting rig components.

• Integrated rubber/urethane cushion isolates jolts from the trailer.
• Heavy-duty plate spreads load across the gooseneck connection.
• Bolted assembly keeps the cushion compressed for consistent performance.

What height range and adjustment method does the 12"–16" converter use?

PSAUTO designed the adapter with multiple mounting positions to provide a 12" to 16" vertical range so you can match trailer height and tow vehicle geometry. Adjustment is tool-assisted and locks securely to prevent movement while towing.

• Multiple preset holes for stepped height selection (12"–16").
• Pin-and-bolt hardware secures the chosen height position.
• Clear, stamped markings simplify repeat setup between trucks.

Will this adapter fit my trailer and is installation fast?

The adapter is designed to fit standard 5th wheel kingpins and common gooseneck hitches; verify dimensions with your kingpin and gooseneck plate before purchase. Installation typically takes minutes using basic hand tools and a secure lift or jack to support the adapter during assembly.

• Fits industry-standard kingpins and flat gooseneck plates.
• Quick bolt-on installation—no welding required.
• Includes hardware for most conventional rigs; verify vehicle compatibility first.

How durable is the construction for heavy-duty towing?

Built from high-strength steel with a protective finish, the adapter is made to endure repeated hookups and heavy loads while resisting corrosion. Regular inspection and maintenance will help preserve function and safety over years of use.

• Robust welded and bolted steel plates for structural integrity.
• Protective coating reduces surface rust and wear.
• Replaceable cushion element for extended service life.

Who is this for: PSAUTO's fifth wheel to gooseneck adapter is aimed at owners who need flexibility between hitch types—farm operators, construction haulers, rental fleets, and RV owners who switch trucks or prefer a gooseneck towpoint. If you want a quick, bolted conversion with impact cushioning and an adjustable 12"–16" height range, this adapter provides a practical, serviceable solution. Always confirm kingpin, plate dimensions, and truck clearance before installation and follow vehicle manufacturer towing limits.
