Weigh Safe WS8-2-KA Adjustable Ball Mount 8" Drop Hitch with Built-In Scale

Manufacturer

Weigh Safe

<p>Weigh Safe has transformed the towing industry with a simple but brilliant innovation: trailer hitches that know exactly how much weight they're carrying. Founded in 2013 in Lindon, Utah, this American manufacturer recognized a critical safety gap in conventional towing equipment. Most drivers rely on guesswork when loading trailers, risking overloaded tongue weights that compromise steering and braking, or underloaded configurations that cause dangerous trailer sway. Weigh Safe solved this problem by integrating precision scales directly into their hitch systems, giving drivers real-time weight data at the point of connection.</p><p>The company's breakthrough product—a <a href="/7927-weigh-safe-trailer-hitch-ball-mount-20006">trailer hitch ball mount</a> with a built-in scale—earned Best New Tools and Equipment Product of the Year at the prestigious SEMA Show, validating what experienced towers immediately recognized: this wasn't just a convenience feature, it was a genuine safety advancement. As the only trailer hitch manufacturer in the United States with patented scale technology, Weigh Safe holds a unique position in the market, offering functionality that competitors simply cannot replicate.</p><h3>Precision Engineering for Every Towing Need</h3><p>Weigh Safe's product line addresses the full spectrum of towing challenges. Their <a href="/7927-weigh-safe-trailer-weight-distribution-kit-48263">trailer weight distribution kits</a> help balance heavy loads across multiple axles, essential for larger trailers that exceed basic bumper pull capacity. These systems work in concert with the company's signature scale technology, allowing users to verify proper weight distribution and make adjustments before hitting the road. For those managing multiple trailers or frequently adjusting ride height, Weigh Safe's <a href="/7927-weigh-safe-trailer-hitch-draw-bar-50557">trailer hitch draw bars</a> offer tool-free adjustability with the added benefit of knowing your exact tongue weight at every height setting.</p><h3>Built-In Accuracy, American Made</h3><p>Every Weigh Safe hitch incorporates a precision scale calibrated to measure tongue weight in real time, displayed on an easy-to-read gauge at the connection point. This eliminates the need for separate measurement devices or loading calculations—you see the actual weight as you hook up. The scales are engineered to withstand the vibration, weather exposure, and mechanical stress of regular towing, maintaining accuracy through thousands of connection cycles. Beyond the innovative scale technology, Weigh Safe hitches are constructed from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant finishes, built to meet or exceed SAE J684 towing standards.</p><p>Whether you're towing a camper across the country, hauling equipment to job sites, or moving recreational toys for weekend adventures, Weigh Safe's measurement-integrated approach takes the uncertainty out of load management. Their comprehensive <a href="/7927-weigh-safe-trailer-hitch-1212">trailer hitch</a> selection ensures compatibility across vehicle classes and towing capacities, all backed by the company's commitment to American manufacturing and engineering excellence.</p>

Designed for 2" receivers, this aluminum ball mount features a built-in weight scale that measures tongue weight in real-time, helping you achieve optimal weight distribution and reduce trailer sway for safer towing.

Key Features:

  • Built-in weight scale displays tongue weight from 0 to 1,400 lbs in 50 lb increments
  • 8" drop (or rise when inverted) for flexible trailer height adjustment
  • Premium aluminum construction with stainless steel components for corrosion resistance
  • Fits standard 2" x 2" receiver hitches
  • 12,500 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) capacity
  • 1,250 lbs maximum tongue weight capacity

The integrated scale eliminates guesswork when loading your trailer, ensuring you maintain the recommended 10-15% tongue weight ratio for optimal towing performance.

Compatible with 2", 2-5/16", and 3" trailer balls (sold separately).
