About Convert-A-Ball
Convert-A-Ball is a family-owned American manufacturer that has been engineering innovative towing solutions since 1985. Based in Sidney, Nebraska, the company was built from the ground up with a simple but powerful idea: make towing safer, simpler, and more versatile for everyday drivers and seasoned towers alike. Decades later, that founding philosophy still drives every product they design and build.
What truly sets Convert-A-Ball apart is its pioneering approach to towing hardware. The company is widely credited as the original designer of the interchangeable hitch ball system, a concept that eliminates the need to carry — or swap out — multiple fixed-ball setups when towing different trailers. With a single shank and a set of interchangeable balls, operators can move between 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" ball sizes quickly and without tools. This kind of practical ingenuity is what has earned Convert-A-Ball a loyal following among horse trailer owners, RV enthusiasts, farmers, and commercial haulers.
Beyond the interchangeable ball concept, Convert-A-Ball pioneered the cushioned ball mount — a design that uses a polyurethane interior to absorb road shock and dramatically reduce the jarring vibration that wears on both tow vehicles and trailers. The cushioned mounts minimize the notorious "bucking" effect and metallic clanking that plague conventional solid-shank mounts, resulting in a noticeably smoother towing experience, especially over rough roads and uneven terrain.
Convert-A-Ball's product lineup extends well beyond trailer balls and ball mounts. The brand also manufactures 5th wheel-to-gooseneck adapters and adjustable cushioned hitch systems, making it a one-stop resource for a wide range of towing configurations. All products are manufactured in the USA — a distinction the company takes pride in and one that resonates strongly with customers who prioritize domestic craftsmanship and consistent quality control.
Whether you're leveling out a loaded livestock trailer, connecting a camper to a lifted pickup, or adapting a fifth-wheel setup to a gooseneck ball, Convert-A-Ball has engineered a solution for the task. Their commitment to real-world towing performance — backed by nearly four decades of refinement — makes them a trusted name on job sites, ranches, campgrounds, and highways across North America.
