What does a Weight Distribution Hitch do?

Distributes tow ball weight to all wheels.
Restores steering geometry.
Reduces tyre wear.
Ensures positive towing control.

A Hayman Reese Weight Distributing Hitch will ensure the safety of your towing system.

Without a Weight Distributing Hitch, the trailer’s tongue weight is transferred to the rear of the tow vehicle which puts a heavy strain on the rear tyres, springs and frame. This can unload the front wheels to the point the steering becomes “light” and control is greatly reduced.

But a Hayman Reese Weight Distributing Hitch is carefully engineered to distribute heavy weight equally to each wheel of the tow vehicle and to the wheels of the trailer or caravan. This greatly reduces strain at the rear of the tow vehicle, levels out the ride and improves braking and steering control.

Features:

• NO DRILLING REQUIRED
• ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT SETTING
• UNIQUE CAM LOCK ENABLES 12 BALL MOUNT ANGLE SETTINGS
• QUALITY ENGINEERED DESIGN
• QUICK SNAP UP BRACKETS FOR EASY LIFTING
• COMPUTER STRESS TESTED
• BACKED BY OVER 30 YEARS OF RELIABLE MANUFACTURING IN AUSTRALIA
• LIFETIME WARRANTY

To enhance performance while towing, Hayman Reese Friction Sway Control and Dual Cam Sway Control products are available to complement your weight distribution system.

Sway Control Bars

There are two different sway control bar options…

Friction and dual cam control.

Friction Sway Control

The all new Sway Control is designed to minimize movement between the vehicle and the trailer. It counteracts trailer movement through a unique friction action and is easily adjusted to compensate for varying trailer weights and towing conditions. Adjustment is simple, Just two turns of the handle takes you from zero to maximum control. The friction action against the moveable bar restricts sway. With the removal of 2 “R” clips, the sway control can be quickly removed and stored until you are ready to travel again.

The friction sway control can be used exclusively or in tandem with the dual cam for maximum trailer control.

Dual Cam Control

Hayman Reese exclusive, patented Dual Cam Sway Control has been road tested over all types of terrain.

The result of an exacting development program, the Dual Cam helps keep the towing vehicle and trailer in a straight line on the highway or under control when sway occurs due to passing trucks, crosswinds or when a wheel runs off the bitumen.  

The Dual Cam is designed to operate for rigs with a ball weight in excess of 159kg (350lbs). It works in conjunction with trailer A frame and spring bars of the weight distribution hitch to give the driver a full automatic self adjusting sway control. When you hook up the spring bars, the dual cam is hooked up automatically at the same time.

  It is easy to install and attaches without welding or drilling. Hook-up and unhooking is simple and operator adjustment is unnecessary as an increase in hitch weight results in an automatic increase in pressure on the spring bars.  

While driving, the Reese Dual Cam’s self-centring action means the cams and cam arms realign and lock into position after each turn.  

Towing with the dual cam on a properly adjusted Reese weight distribution hitch, provides noticeable improvements in driver comfort and road handling. You won’t experience as much fatigue behind the wheel and the self centring action makes it feel as if your tow vehicle and trailer are leaning into each bend.
