Brophy Ball Mounts & Receivers: Built for Serious Towing
C.R. Brophy Machine Works has been a trusted name in recreational vehicle and towing accessories since 1947. The company specializes in manufacturing RV accessories such as hitch balls, ball mounts, and hitches, and their ball mount lineup is one of the most respected in the segment. When you need a reliable connection between your tow vehicle and trailer, Brophy’s ball mounts and receivers deliver the precision engineering and rugged build quality that serious towers depend on.
Solid Construction for Demanding Applications
Brophy mounts are known for their rugged construction, featuring solid bar stock and robust welds. They offer a high rise, perfect for leveling trailers with low receivers, and the extended tongue design ensures a smooth, stable towing experience. This attention to structural integrity is reflected in products like the BH40, a Class IV ball mount rated for demanding loads. Its solid steel, one-piece build delivers heavy-duty strength for long-term reliability under load, while a corrosion-resistant black powder coat helps block rust from rain, salt, and road grime.
Versatile Fit Across Receiver Classes
Brophy carries reversible and adjustable hitch ball mounts that allow you to alter the ball’s height according to the trailer’s position, available in a range of designs with various load ratings and fitments for different sizes of hitch receivers and balls. For example, the BM20 is a popular extended-length option: it handles gross trailer weights up to 10,000 lbs, features a 13-1/4" long shank for extra clearance around tailgates and accessories, and can be flipped to provide either a 3/4" rise or 2" drop for level towing with different trailer heights.
Height Adjustment Where It Matters Most
Getting your trailer to ride level isn’t just about comfort—it directly affects handling, tire wear, and hitch longevity. Brophy mounts excel in providing the necessary rise to level trailers, especially when the hitch receiver sits low. With options like a 5.5-inch rise, they accommodate various towing heights, ensuring your trailer remains level and stable, which is crucial for safe and efficient towing. The aluminum ball mount options in the Brophy lineup are particularly noteworthy: these ball mounts are made from aluminum for high-strength applications and have a load rating of 8,000 lbs, compatible with any 2" receiver and able to accommodate a 1" shank diameter.
