The Ultri-Loc system


Three stainless steel ball bearings are secured to the bottom of the UltraBall. When it is installed, they press matching indentations into the hitch, a metal-to-metal contact that:

  • keeps the ball from turning and unscrewing, for maximum safety and strength;
  • removes the need for a wrench to hold the ball while tightening;
  • compensates for an uneven surface on your hitch or bumper.
