This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole on the handle latch, the eZ-Latch coupler features a hole on the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.
Made of sturdy steel, this coupler features a durable silver powder coat finish that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This finish has a 500-hour salt spray rating, making the coupler perfect for marine use.
The eZ-Latch's sleek, ergonomically designed handle is constructed of an impact-resistant polymer-nylon-resin compound that provides the flexibility and strength needed to bounce back from a collision. The handle is corrosion-proof, allowing it to withstand whatever the road and the elements dish out.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Demco EZ-Latch trailer coupler with the five position adjustable channel. This is gonna provide the connection point for your two and five 16th inch hitch bar on your tow vehicle so that you can hook your trailer up to your tow vehicle and tow it. This does feature the easy latch mechanism that will ensure a nice, simple secure hookup and disconnect for you. I do have a two and five 16th inch hitch ball here to demonstrate how this operates. And so this will allow you to hook up even when your latch is in the closed position.
All you have to do is drop the coupler over your hitch ball (latch squeaks) and it will latch into place like so, and you've got a nice solid connection there. And to disengage you'll just slip up on that latch that will allow the ball to come free. So very, very simple. Much easier than most other systems out there where you have to have it opened to lower it onto your ball and so forth. So very simple operation here.
This is made here in the USA of a cast steel construction. So it is gonna be very durable for you. It does have a weight capacity of 20,000 pounds and it does meet the SAEJ 6 84 standard, so it is J 6 84 certified. It also has this silver powder coat finish on it that's gonna provide excellent corrosion resistance with a 500 hour salt spray rating. So it is gonna be great for your marine applications.
If you're wanting to put this on a boat trailer or something like that, it will hold up well for you. The latch handle has a nice low profile design and it's constructed of a durable polymer nylon resin composite. And so it is going to be corrosion proof and impact resistant. So it is gonna hold up well for you as well. To give you a few measurements here, you can see this is going to be approximately eight inches long.
We'll call it about eight and one eighth of an inch in total length. And then our width, we're looking at right about three inches wide, call it two and seven eights of an inch, just shy of that three inches. So it is going to fit into your three inch channel there. Our channel is a heavy duty steel construction. It is right at 12 inches tall, and this will weld right onto your trailer with the unfinished portion here. This is going to then allow you to bolt your coupler into one of the selected slots here. So we've got six different mounting holes. These are all five eighth inch diameter holes. So you've got five different positions that you can mount the coupler and to ensure that it's going to work with different tow vehicles' heights, make sure that it's gonna stay nice and level for you. We do have the four included grade five bolts, washer and nylon locknut that will allow you to have a nice secure rattle-free connection here. One thing in my mind if you are gonna be switching pretty frequently to adjust to different tow vehicles, you're gonna be using different vehicles to pull your trailer; that might not be the most convenient way of being connected. Having those nylon lock nuts is gonna be kind of difficult to undo. So I would recommend if you are gonna be switching frequently maybe consider switching over to a pen like you see on the screen there. That is going to have that same 20,000 pound weight capacity. That's going to be the five eight inch diameter that you need for these pin holes. And it is going to give you a four inch span. So it'll be plenty for our three and three quarter inch outer dimension here. So it will work for you if you are gonna be switching pretty frequently. You can more easily pull those pins out, adjust your coupler to the height that you need and put the pin back through. We also have locking pins available. If you want to add a little extra security you can put those in instead. And then we also have the locking option here. We've got a three eight inch diameter lock pin hole. So if you wanted to, you could add on a coupler lock that will go through that hole and will prevent the latch from being disengaged, so no one can come along and disconnect your trailer and take off with it. So you will just need to make sure that you've got a three eight inch diameter pin there with a span of at least three inches before it to work to secure that for you. So overall, really great option here to weld onto your trailer, give you that adjustability so that and no matter what vehicle you're using to tow your trailer, you can make sure that it's gonna be nice and level for you. And that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

Latch seems flimsy but holds fine! Not super adjustable due to bolt installation…get an adjustable ball mount.
This is more than I need but when it comes to safety you can't have too much! I'm building a 14k trailer, and the design and material on this coupler is amazing! Ez latch is a nice feature, no more guess work! Plenty of height configurations.
easy to use, strong as hell
Product is sturdy, well built.
Delivery was fast and right products.
Awesome coupler!!! Lookin for a robust coupler…. Look no further!
The coupler that came with our teardrop did the job, but getting hooked up and secure on the ball was a real pain that would take multiple attempts to reposition it before it dropped fully in place. I like the Demco eZ-latch. So much better. I uploaded 3 photos: 1) original coupler, 2) trailer frame with new holes drilled and old holes filled with Bondo, 3) Demco coupler in place. The changeover was very easy.
It is the best used yo have a the older style i was always worried if it had latched correctly but with this latch system I dont have to do anything i dont even have to see it i can just hear it click when its latching on its own and i know its right dont forget to buy the pin for it i have actually bought two one for each of my trailers
Great upgrade to my heavy trailers. Would be 5 stars if the locking pin hole would accept a larger diameter lock or a padlock.
The hitch is excellent for our 14,000lb equipment trailer.
Only issue is the hole for the padlock was too small for any locks and we drilled it out to accommodate one.
Con- Shipping was not very good. It was returned to the dealer twice because it was sent via United Postal Service and our shop has not Post office box. Only a location address. The USPS does not take packages to our location. We could not seem to get the package sent via UPS or FedEx to us.
Only time this has happened when ordering from etrailer.
The ease of latching and not having to lift the latch handle is very nice and unlachine it's a breeze, works very well very happy with the coupler
Was the perfect part to replace the pintle hitch that was previously on my 15K trailer.
Very good quality, construction, and finish. This was used to replace a 5000# rated coupler on my RV trailer that was just not strong enough. It has an extra 2-3" of length than the old coupler so make sure your safety chains have enough length to accommodate the extra length. One bonus for me was that the extra length was just enough to allow me to open the back door of my SUV with the trailer hitched (which I couldn't do before). The DEMCO coupler does take a 2 1/2" wide hitch pin /lock which is different than most couplers.
I’m a 75 year old disabled woman who was about to give up traveling due to the efforts to hitch and unhitch my trailer. I got this new hitch installed and it changed my life; it is effortless. I’m on the beach now while a winter storm is raging around the U.S. thank you so much for a hitch that changed my life.
I didn’t use the bolts it came with. Just got two grade 8 bolts like my pj trailer came with, easier to adjust.
Heavy duty for sure. Drilling 1/2” holes in 1/4” thick angle iron on the trailer required more than a hand drill, but other than that installation was simple. Removing the original coupler was a chore because it was welded on both top and bottom. I had to use a hacksaw (3 blades), 2 lb mallet, large crowbar, steel chisel, grinder. Fortunately I had all that, and I’m very pleased with the result.
We really like these new Demco eZ Latch styles.
Great product! This thing's built like a tank. We're always pulling the heaviest things possible with our trailers and this stands up to the job.
This is the second one I have owned and they work real good. No problems hanging up.
