Reduce wear between your 5th wheel hitch head and trailer pin box without coating the hitch plate in messy grease. This 12" polyethylene lube plate snaps onto a standard kingpin and uses self-cleaning grooves to maintain smooth coupling movement.
Curt 16722 creates a durable lubricating buffer between the 5th wheel hitch head plate and the underside of the trailer pin box. This reduces metal-to-metal contact, helping minimize normal wear and allowing the kingpin and hitch head to move smoothly during turns and articulation.
Unlike traditional grease applied directly to the hitch plate, the polyethylene lube plate provides lubrication without leaving behind thick grease deposits that attract dirt and debris. Installation is simple: press the plate onto the trailer's standard kingpin before coupling.
