Andersen

American Innovation in Towing Technology

For over six decades, Andersen Hitches has been revolutionizing the towing industry from their Idaho Falls manufacturing facility. What began as a modest one-room workshop has grown into a 102,000 square foot fabrication complex, yet this family-owned company has never lost sight of its core mission: creating innovative, American-made towing solutions that make life easier for recreational travelers, working professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Andersen's reputation is built on a foundation of engineering firsts and patented innovations. The company introduced the industry's first aluminum ball mount with their groundbreaking Alumistinger design, followed by the adjustable Rapid Hitch system that has become a benchmark in the towing accessories market. Every product undergoes rigorous in-house testing to meet or exceed V5 and SAE J684 safety standards, ensuring that reliability and performance go hand-in-hand with innovation.

Aircraft-Grade Materials Meet Towing Demands

What sets Andersen apart is their commitment to advanced materials engineering. Unlike traditional steel hitches, Andersen manufactures many of their products from aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratios that make installation and daily use dramatically easier. This high-strength aluminum construction provides outstanding corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural integrity needed for demanding towing applications. The result is equipment that looks as good as it performs, even after years of exposure to harsh weather and road conditions.

Comprehensive Towing Solutions

Andersen's product lineup addresses virtually every towing scenario. Their trailer hitch ball mounts showcase the company's expertise in adjustable, versatile hitch systems that accommodate multiple vehicle and trailer combinations. The Rapid Hitch line features innovative height-adjustment mechanisms and dual-ball configurations, allowing owners to switch between different trailers without swapping equipment. For 5th wheel enthusiasts, Andersen's Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection weighs just 35-37 pounds yet handles gross vehicle weight ratings up to 24,000 pounds—a testament to the company's materials science expertise.

Beyond hitches themselves, Andersen manufactures a complete ecosystem of towing accessories including camper levelers, jack blocks, safety chains, and locking mechanisms. Each component reflects the same attention to detail and user-focused design philosophy that has defined the brand since its founding.

Built in America, Backed by Warranty

Nearly every Andersen product comes with a lifetime warranty, reflecting the company's confidence in their manufacturing processes and material choices. This commitment to standing behind their products has earned Andersen a loyal following among RV owners, contractors, and anyone who demands dependable towing performance. With decades of continuous operation and a track record of introducing industry-changing innovations, Andersen Hitches remains a trusted name when American-made quality and engineering excellence matter most.
