<h3>About C.R. Brophy Machine Works</h3><p><strong>C.R. Brophy Machine Works, Inc.</strong> has been a trusted name in recreational vehicle and towing accessories since 1947. Based in the United States, Brophy is a dedicated manufacturer of hitch balls, ball mounts, and hitches, as well as a distributor of electrical connectors, safety chains, and a wide range of trailer hardware. Decades of focus on the towing industry have allowed Brophy to develop a product catalog that covers virtually every connection point between a tow vehicle and its trailer.</p><p>Brophy's reputation is built on practical engineering and adherence to recognized safety standards. All Brophy coupler balls, for example, comply with the safety specifications and requirements of SAE J684 — an important benchmark for anyone serious about safe towing. That commitment to standards-based manufacturing runs throughout the entire lineup, from heavy-duty safety chains to weight-distributing hitch systems.</p><h3>Towing Hardware Built for Real-World Use</h3><p>Whether you're hauling a travel trailer, a boat, or a utility trailer, the connection between your vehicle and your load is only as strong as its weakest component. Brophy addresses this reality with a broad selection of <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-ball-mountsreceivers-200129">ball mounts and receivers</a> that are reversible and adjustable, allowing you to dial in the correct ball height for any trailer configuration. Paired with their precisely engineered <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-hitch-ball-15369">trailer hitch balls</a> — available in multiple shank sizes and ball diameters — you can build a towing setup matched exactly to your rig's requirements.</p><p>For a complete hitch system, Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-hitch-ball-mount-20006">trailer hitch ball mounts</a> are available across multiple classes and drop/rise configurations, including Class II and Class IV applications. The reversible designs add versatility, letting a single mount serve both raised and lowered trailer tongue heights. Completing the connection, Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-trailer-balls-covers-201088">trailer balls and covers</a> round out the hitch assembly, protecting hardware from corrosion and wear between hauls.</p><p>Beyond the hitch itself, keeping your cargo secured on the road is equally critical. Brophy's <a href="/7274-brophy-prod-ratchet-tie-down-strap-17206">ratchet tie-down straps</a> bring the same no-nonsense durability to cargo control that the rest of the lineup applies to towing hardware — designed to hold firm under load and stand up to repeated use in demanding conditions.</p><h3>A Complete Towing Ecosystem</h3><p>One of Brophy's key strengths is the ability to source nearly every component of a towing system from a single, consistent manufacturer. From the receiver tube to the coupler ball, from tie-downs to weight-distributing bars, Brophy offers matched components that are engineered to work together. This makes it straightforward to ensure that every link in your towing chain meets the same quality standard. For RV owners, boat towers, and trailer operators who depend on their equipment day in and day out, that consistency is invaluable.</p>

Excellent!

They had all the parts that i needed and shipped very fast had them in two days after ordered will buy again from autoplicity.

Placed an order Friday before a holiday weekend, received the product the following week. Easy to navigate website and prices were much lower than MSRP. Have nothing negative to say.

I did a pretty extensive search looking for a good price on a specific set of Autogage gauges. They had the best price and were in stock with quick notification of shipment. Order # 27510 should be here soon so I can finish my project. Would so business with again.

By far the lowest price i've seen on the web for what i have been trying to get, the Injen SRI for my juke. Great price fast shipping! Ill buy all my car stuff here from now on.
