Description

The Bulldog BX1 40,000 lb. 3" ball gooseneck coupler is the only adjustable gooseneck coupler with a rating exceeding 30,000 pounds. This huge capacity is made possible by incorporating advantages designed into the popular Bulldog BX1 30,000 lb. gooseneck coupler, which was introduced in 2012. The primary visible differences include a square tube and the shift to a 3" design. A force transfer feature was added to the casting to provide the additional strength needed for the 40,000 lb. rating.

The 3" ball coupler is optimized for ultra-heavy duty gooseneck trailering applications, including motorsports transporters, trailers used in oil fields and heavy dump trailers.

Like the original BX1, the 40,000 lb. version incorporates an improved coupling mechanism that includes a 50 percent larger bottom locking plate to guide the ball into the socket more smoothly. This element provides higher damage resistance in addition to higher capacity. It offers two-position adjustability and a rigid, anti-rattle telescoping tube design.

The Bulldog BX1 40,000 lb. 3" ball gooseneck coupler showcases other BX1 advances, including a locking handle that can be operated easily with one hand and an increased ball and coupler roll angle to manage stresses from uneven terrain better. Opposing clinches provide greater pullout strength and a high articulation angle. Many other modern innovations improve security, service life and functionality. All have been rigorously tested.
