AT 35 Locking Hitch

Submitted: Saturday, Dec 02, 2006 at 10:29

Kev M (NSW)

Is there such a thing as a locking hitch pin for the AT 35 hitch.
The one I am after is similar to the one available for the Treg which I think doesn't fit the AT 35.

Any ideas???

Thanks Kev

Kev,
Theres two points where it needs locking, Ive used a padlock through the bottom hole in the main removable pin. Then you have to lock the reciever onto the vehicle, this is on any system

Yep! that's it as far as I know.

I have a Hayman locking hitch pin at the tow bar and a padlock on the AT35...

Grrr!!!

Thanks JR and Crazy,

Thats what I thought I'd have to do as I'd hadn't heard of a locking system for the AT 35.

What size padlock did you use for the pin??

Nah ! Take it to a locksmith and get a good quality lock to suit.

I looked at all sorts but decided on a long hasp lockwood.

Couple mate, I think they advertise on here, advised me they were developing one for the AT35. May be worth a call.

In the meantime I used a decent sized padlock which the locksmith advised and just drilled out the hole in the pin a touch more to make it fit.

Thanks John,

I'll give them a call to see how far they are from releasing it. Will keep you all posted on the outcome.

I just use a Lockwood lock that fits in the original hole, plus a lockable hitch pin lock (bought from ExploreOz) for the tow hitch.

Yes, you need to be security conscious, but these systems will only deter the opportunist, not the determined professional thief.

I also carry a toughened steel chain and heavy duty toughened lock. I got it to put through one of the wheels of the CT and around the CT suspension. Bu putting the lock inside the wheel, it would be very difficult to get to to break or cut. Only problem is I rarely use it, but always use the locks on the hitch pin and AT35.

Norm,

Knowing my luck I'd forget that I'd chained the wheels and drive off LOL.

Not a bad idea though as you cant be to careful with some of the low lifes that we have in our society.
