The Carbon Offroad MegaPro Tow Hitch Receiver Recovery Point is a premium, versatile recovery solution designed to fit various 50mm receiver hitches. Its adjustable mounting options cater to both shallow and deep-style hitches, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of vehicles.
Crafted from high-grade 6061 T6 aluminium and precision CNC machined, this recovery point boasts a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. The Type 3 hard anodized coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance. At a mere 1.2kg, it's significantly lighter than many comparable options on the market.
The MegaPro Hitch features a smooth-edged shackle mount, designed for safe use with synthetic rope soft shackles. It can also accommodate a Carbon Offroad 4.25T Bow Shackle, offering flexibility in attachment methods.
Mounting Options and Versatility
When using the MegaPro Hitch, you can choose between horizontal and vertical shackle point orientations. This flexibility allows for optimal recovery scenarios, regardless of the vehicle's position or the angle of pull.
-
Upward-facing shackle point: Enables lateral movement, ideal for situations where the recovering vehicle is not directly in front of the one being recovered.
-
Sideways-facing shackle point: Allows for vertical movement, accommodating recoveries on inclines or declines.
Testing and Durability
The MegaPro Hitch underwent rigorous Nata-accredited testing by Mechtest in Brisbane, Australia. While the mounting pin failed at nearly 20 tonnes, the recovery point itself remained intact, demonstrating exceptional strength and durability. The only damage sustained was a slight deformation to the hitch due to the bent pin.
