Cruisemaster DO45 Off-Road Articulating Hitch 4.5T with Handbrake

Free Shipping & Free 30-Day Returns — prepaid return label, no restocking fee. Details

This is the handbrake version of the Cruisemaster DO45Plus — the 4,500kg-rated articulating pin coupling for heavy off-road caravans and trailers, with an integrated park-brake lever on the coupling body. If your trailer's brake cable runs to the coupling (standard on many Australian-built off-road vans), this is the version you need.

Rated Capacity: 4,500kg (9,921 lb) | SAE J684 Class 4 (USA) | ADR Compliant | D-Value & V-Value Certified | Integrated Handbrake

• 1 1/4" (32mm) tow pin included — ensure your tow tongue or ball mount can take a 1-1/4-inch shank before ordering
• Integrated handbrake lever — park-brake actuation at the coupling, connecting to your trailer's mechanical brake cable
• Drop-on design — quick, convenient trailer connection without a ball hitch
• Dual-axis articulation — maximum approach/departure angle capability on-road and off-road
• Positive Interlock 2-stage locking — ADR-compliant secure attachment
• Patented Checklock Gen.2 dust cap — only fits when lock is fully engaged; foolproof safety check before towing
• Fully greaseable — high-quality acetal bushes reduce wear on tough corrugations
• Towpin cover included for pin protection when not in use
• Includes 1 1/4" tow pin, pin cover, Universal C-Spanner, mounting bolts, and user guide

Note: The DO45Plus uses a wider 4-bolt mounting pattern than the DO35 — check your mounting plate if upgrading. Don't need the park-brake lever? The DO45 without handbrake saves you money — read which version you need. The tow pin is included in the box — need a spare for a second tow vehicle? Grab the DO45 tow pin kit.
