The Pole Adapter Kit In Action

The Pole Tongue Adapter Kit fixes the one big issue that keeps pole-tongue trailers from using a weight distribution hitch. A WDH like the Equal-i-zer relies on two L-shaped brackets that normally bolt onto the trailer’s frame rails. Standard cargo or camper trailers have those rails, making installation straightforward. But boat trailers and other pole-tongue setups only have a single straight beam, which leaves no place for the brackets. The adapter clamps around that tongue and creates sturdy mounting points in just the right spot, giving you the same setup options as a dual-rail trailer.

Essential Upgrade for Pole-Tongue Trailers

Without the adapter, pole-tongue owners are locked out of the safety benefits of a WDH — weight transfer, sway reduction, and steadier braking. With it, you unlock the ability to spread tongue weight across your tow vehicle’s front axle and your trailer axles. That keeps the ride level, steering more responsive, and sway under control. If you want the stability of a weight distribution system but tow with a boat trailer or another single-tongue design, this kit makes it possible.

Pole Tongue Adapter

Expanded Versatility: Allows for the use of the Equal-i-zer hitch even on straight tongue trailers and mounts between 27-32 inches back from your trailer coupler for maximum effectiveness.

Simple Installation: Fits 6, 10, 12, and 14K hitch models and can be installed on straight nose trailers with a height of 2”-5” and width of 1”-5”, such as boat, horse, bull nose and even icehouse trailers for maximum utility.

The Equal-i-zer hitch pole tongue adapter kit allows for maximum weight distribution and sway control when towing a straight tongue trailer, such as a boat trailer.
