Hensley Hitches

The Hensley Arrow

The Hensley Arrow can eliminate trailer sway. Why? Because the Arrow is the only trailer hitch on the market that doesn't use friction to control sway. Every other sway control hitch uses friction in one form or another. The problem is that friction works both ways. While it dampens trailer sway, it also hinders the tow vehicle's ability to turn or regain control of the trailer once trailer sway does occur. Eventually, enough side force (wind, trucks, uneven roads, etc.) will hit the side of your trailer to overcome the friction in your sway control hitch. At that point, the sway control hitch becomes a hindrance to regaining control of your trailer.

  • A travel trailer outfitted with the Hensley Arrow® gives you:
  • A choice of car, SUV, or pickup truck to tow with.
  • A smaller, lighter tow vehicle.
  • Safety. The Arrow is the safest towing system on the road. Because of its patented linkage system, it is impossible to initiate trailer sway, the #1 cause of trailer accidents.
  • Tighter turning radius.
  • Level floor plan.
  • Easier hook ups.
  • Lower trailer cost.
  • Lower center of gravity.
  • Stress free towing.
  • Lower fuel costs (because of less wind resistance, a travel trailer averages 1 to 2 mpg better fuel economy).

  • 2000# rated weight distribution jacks

Description
The ProPride 3P hitch is the most advanced trailer sway control hitch available for your towing needs. Jim Hensley, the man who revolutionized hitch performance with his old design, has improved and enhanced his new design for your extraordinary towing experience. With easy installation and use you'll experience towing stability and safety unmatched by any hitch available.

Details

  1. The ProPride 3P main unit consists of two 3/4" thick links that project the pivot point of the trailer forward to near the rear axle of your tow vehicle. By not allowing the trailer to pivot side-to-side on the ball trailer sway is eliminated.
  2. The ProPride Yoke keeps the main unit hitch ball from pivoting in the trailer coupler which would allow the trailer to sway.
  3. Heavy duty weight distribution jacks allow you to distribute your tongue weight with precision and ease.
  4. The 3P adjustable hitch bar is designed for any tow vehicle and trailer combination now and in the future. It includes a bar tilt feature to compensate for hitch receivers that are not parallel to the ground. This tilt allows more efficient weight distribution for varying hitch receivers.

4-Point Sway Control

Equal-i-zer® brand hitch works to help control trailer sway with 4-Point Sway Control®. Equal-i-zer®'s 4-Point Sway Control® is a combination of 4 positive friction areas that work together to combat trailer sway. 4-Point Sway Control® is superior to ®add-on® friction bars or cam-type systems that are used with conventional or chain-style weight distribution hitches.

2 Sway Control Brackets

Innovative rigid trailer attachments serve two purposes. First, they work in conjunction with the rotational friction sway controls to reduce trailer sway. Second, the forward and back friction of the hitch arm on the bracket serves as a secondary sway control system. The sway control brackets work much like 2 ®add-on® sway bars, but with more sway stopping pressure and less hassle. The sway control brackets are the innovative link that makes the Equal-i-zer® hitch 4-Point Sway Control® system so effective. Our standard sway control brackets fit trailer frames up to 6 inches tall. Larger brackets for 8 and 10 inch trailer frames are also available.

2 Rotational Friction Sway Controls

Rotational friction works to stop side to side sway before it starts. The rotational friction sway control is activated by downward pressure from the trailer tongue and upward pressure on the spring arms. The spring arms link the rotational sway control to the sway control brackets and distribute trailer tongue weight. The rigidity of the sway control brackets allow the dual rotational friction sway control to safely and effectively hold the trailer in line behind the tow vehicle and combat sway before it starts.

Put them all together and you have 4 points of positive friction working for you. Take your towing to the next level with 4-Point Sway Control.
