Trailer Fittings

Keeping a trailer properly maintained and its connections secure is both a legal requirement and a safety imperative for anyone towing on public roads. At the DIY Hardware Store, our trailer fittings range covers the lynch pins, hitch pins, clevis pins, safety rings, and connecting hardware used in trailer coupling, load securing, and trailer maintenance applications.

The lynch pin and ring is the most fundamental trailer retention fitting - the hardened steel pin that passes through the clevis eye of a drawbar or hitch coupling and is retained by a spring-loaded or snap ring that prevents the pin from working out in service. These must be present and correct on every trailer coupling that uses a clevis-type connection - a missing or defective lynch pin allows the trailer to disconnect from the towing vehicle, which is a catastrophic safety failure.

The range also covers the other hitch hardware, safety chains, and connector fittings needed for complete trailer maintenance and roadworthy coupling at the DIY Hardware Store, in galvanised and zinc-plated steel for long-term outdoor durability.
