Hitch Pin & Clip

The Hitch Pin & Clip is the fastener that holds your hitch shank in the tow vehicle’s receiver tube. It is a 5/8″-diameter bent-handle pin with a spring clip, the same style supplied with every Equal-i-zer hitch, and it fits any standard 2″ square receiver.

The pin is hardened and zinc-finished to resist rust, and the bent handle gives you something to grip when the shank is tight in the receiver. The clip snaps through the cross-hole at the tip so the pin cannot vibrate out on rough roads. It is a direct replacement for the original, so it seats in the receiver and shank holes without wobble.

Order one as a straight replacement for a lost or worn pin, or keep a spare with your hitch. For owners who want to lock the shank to the vehicle, the Locking Hitch Pin uses the same 5/8″ size and adds a keyed barrel lock in place of the clip.

Specifications

  • SKU: 95-01-9475
  • Pin diameter: 5/8″
  • Fits: standard 2″ square receiver tubes (Class III/IV); use with the Equal-i-zer® or Fastway® hitch shank
  • Style: bent-handle (L-handle) hitch pin with spring-steel clip
  • Quantity: 1 pin and 1 clip
  • Material: hardened steel, plated to resist rust; manufactured by Progress Mfg., Provo, Utah
  • Locking alternative: Fastway® Locking Hitch Pin 86-00-3050 (2″ receivers) or 86-00-3160 (2-1/2″ receivers), same 5/8″ diameter
  • Maintenance: check that the clip is fully seated before every tow; a light coat of oil prevents the pin from seizing in the receiver over winter
  • Replacement: replace when the pin shows wear flats or bending, or when the receiver and shank holes have begun to elongate (the pin will rattle). A worn pin accelerates wear on the receiver holes, which are far more expensive to repair
