The Original 34K Haulin' 5th Wheel Hitch
This is the hitch that started the Haulin' line. The 34K Haulin' Head Unit keeps the design simple: a solid steel, low-profile 5th wheel hitch built for regular towing and professional hauling.
The single-pivot design allows front-to-back movement and is a common choice for car hauling, hot shot work, and other larger trailers where a straightforward hitch setup makes sense.
Designed for Weld-On Installation
The 34K Haulin' Head Unit does not include a mounting plate. It is designed to be welded directly to a compatible platform or trailer neck.
This product does not include mounting plates.
If you need a 34K hitch with a bolt-on mounting plate already included, see the
34K Haulin' Head Unit With Bolt-On Plate.
If you are installing a hitch in a pickup truck that was originally manufactured with a bed, you will need a HitchCrafter mounting kit designed for your truck's make, model, and year. You can compare those options in our
5th wheel hitch lineup.
Four Grease Points for Straightforward Maintenance
The 34K Haulin' uses four grease fittings to keep the main pivot points maintained. Two fittings are located on top of the hitch at the jaw pivot points, and two are located at the lower front of the hitch for the side pivot pins.
These accessible grease points make routine maintenance simple and help keep the hitch moving as designed through regular use.
Is This 34K 5th Wheel Hitch Right for Your Setup?
The weld-on 34K Haulin' Head Unit is a good fit when you already have a compatible platform or trailer neck and do not need a separate mounting plate included with the hitch.
If your setup calls for a bolt-on plate instead, the
34K Haulin' Head Unit With Bolt-On Plate may be the better choice.
Hitch capacity is only one part of choosing the right towing setup. Your truck, trailer, chassis, tires, axles, and other equipment all have their own ratings and should be considered before towing.
