Convert-A-Ball Trailer Balls & Covers
When you need to tow multiple trailers with different coupler sizes, Convert-A-Ball stands out as the innovator of the original Interchangeable Hitch Ball System. Their trailer balls have revolutionized the way drivers approach multi-trailer towing by eliminating the need for multiple ball mounts and constant wrench work.
The Original Interchangeable Ball System
Convert-A-Ball's signature system features three interchangeable balls (1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16") that fit on a single shank, allowing you to swap ball sizes in under a minute. The system beats the national standard SAE-J684-E for ball hitches, providing both convenience and safety. Instead of maintaining multiple ball mounts or struggling with wrenches in parking lots, you simply pop out the integrated pin, swap the ball size, and you're ready to connect your next trailer.
Material Options for Different Environments
Convert-A-Ball offers their interchangeable systems in both nickel-plated chrome and stainless steel finishes. The stainless steel version offers much better corrosion resistance compared to the more economical nickel-plated option. For drivers in coastal areas or those who frequently tow in wet conditions, the stainless steel construction provides superior longevity and maintains its appearance even after years of regular use.
Capacity and Safety Features
The Convert-A-Ball interchangeable systems typically feature a 10,000 pound gross towing rate capacity, making them suitable for utility trailers, boat trailers, camping trailers, and more. The stainless steel slide pin design delivers exceptional strength, while the safety hole allows for an additional cotter pin if desired. Each ball is clearly marked with its size on top for quick identification.
Practical Benefits for Multi-Trailer Owners
The primary advantage of Convert-A-Ball's design becomes clear when you own trailers with different coupler requirements. Rather than purchasing separate ball mounts for each trailer or struggling to remove a permanently mounted ball, you gain the flexibility to adapt your hitch setup in seconds. The system also includes protective covers for the shank, helping keep grease off your clothing when the ball isn't in use. Storage cases are available for organizing your ball collection between towing sessions.
