When your haul demands a pintle hook setup, the B&W Hitches PMHD14005 Pintle Plate gives you a rock-solid, purpose-built mounting solution rated to 16,000 lbs. Designed for trucks, work vehicles, and heavy-duty towing rigs, this plate brings the strength and precision fit that B&W is known for -- no compromise, no flex where it counts.
The PMHD14005 is a dedicated pintle mounting plate from B&W Hitches -- one of the most trusted names in American-made towing hardware. This plate is engineered to accept a pintle hook assembly and mount to compatible B&W receiver-style hitch systems, giving you a rigid, high-capacity connection point for heavy trailers, equipment haulers, and military-style couplers.
Pintle hook towing is common in agricultural, construction, and heavy-duty RV towing applications where surge couplers or standard ball mounts are not rated for the load. The PMHD14005 closes the gap between your truck's receiver system and the pintle hook itself, providing a flat, drilled mounting surface that keeps everything aligned and secure under load.
Rated for up to 16,000 lbs gross towing capacity -- suitable for heavy equipment trailers, livestock haulers, and large fifth-wheel or gooseneck pintle setups.
Built from thick-gauge steel with a durable finish to resist corrosion and withstand the stress of repeated heavy towing cycles.
At 15.13" x 12.25" x 5.0", this plate fits within the envelope of most full-size truck hitch systems without protruding excessively or limiting approach angle.
Manufactured in the USA by B&W Trailer Hitches, a company with decades of experience building commercial-grade towing products for demanding real-world use.
A pintle plate is the structural adapter that mounts to your vehicle's hitch receiver or mounting surface and provides a bolt pattern for attaching a pintle hook. Unlike a standard ball mount, a pintle hook and lunette ring system allows for more vertical articulation and is rated for much heavier loads -- which is why it is the standard coupling system for military trailers, large farm equipment, and heavy construction rigs.
The PMHD14005 is the plate portion of that system. You mount this to your hitch receiver or shank, then bolt your pintle hook to the plate's face. The result is a two-piece system that can be separated for storage or swapped out if the hook ever needs replacement -- without disturbing the rest of the hitch setup.
The PMHD14005 pintle plate is designed for bolt-on installation using your truck's existing receiver hitch or a compatible B&W hitch mounting platform. The plate provides a flat, drilled face for pintle hook attachment. Hardware requirements will depend on the specific pintle hook assembly you pair with this plate -- confirm bolt sizes and torque specs from B&W before final installation.
