Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at a Brophy 50mm hitch ball. This hitch ball provides a connection point for your trailer's coupler. It's made from a durable steel construction with a nice chrome finish so it's rust resistant and that is polished. The polished finish provides a very nice appearance. You'll notice on the sides it does feature the wrench flats. These allow you to use a wrench to hold the ball in place during installation.
Makes installation much easier. Lock washer and the nut are included. Now if you're in need of a ball mount you can check out some options at etrailer.com. We have a variety to choose from. Again, the ball diameter is 50mm.
The shank has a diameter of 1in and has a length measurement of 2 1/8in. The weight capacity on this unit, it's engraved right here at the top of the ball, it's 8,000lbs. That's going to do it for today;s look at the Brophy 50mm hitch ball.

Chrome ball has a 1" diameter x 2-1/8" long shank. Wrench flats ease installation. Chrome is attractive, provides superior strength, and resists rust and corrosion.50mm ball with 1" shank is kind of hard to find. I'm glad etrailer could provide it. I was hoping that the brand C.R. Brophy Machine Works, Inc. of Clackamas OR and Germantown TN was an indicator that the hitch ball would be Made in USA but unfortunately it is not - it's made in China like everything else.
All companies should be ran like Etrailers,
I needed a 50mm ball, 1 7/8 to small 2" to big...for my car hauler.
Etrailers received the 50mm on Monday, shipped it out the same day and I received it this Thursday morning.
Guess what, when calling you actually have a person on the other line... I'd like to give a special thanks to Shery T and Chris.

Perfect fit for our BMW X5 and Thule bike rack in Germany
etrailer was the only one that had this euro sized ball for my buddy in Germany
Works; stationed in Germany and needed a euro size hitch to work with my Thule European bike rack... this along with a euro to US electric adapter I picked up online and I had everything needed to transport our two electric bikes ... thanks
Seems like a nice product. I am glad I found it for sale with reasonable shipping to Canada. Hard to find a 50mm ball with 1" shank in Canada. Need the 50mm to match a new 50mm coupler. Don't want regulatory issues with a mismatch.
Fast delivery. It would be great to have a detailed (with measurements) on the website. I am looking for a ball with the dimensions as in the picture attached. It is for a European bicycle rack make Uebler P31.
I have a german trailer and we replaced the whole coupling system. It was supposed to have a regular North American 2" coupler. But it had the Euro one.
It is really hard to find a 50CM ball in the US that has an 8k tow rating. This one worked like a charm.
My only caveat is that when I called eTrailer customer service to ask if they had a European sized 2" ball they didn't know what I was talking about. I figured it out on my own by looking at another online retailer in UK.
But it shipped relatively quickly (for 2020) and it worked perfectly.
Was exactly what I was looking for, arrived within days. Will keep using etrailer.
Outstanding hard to find 50 mm hitch ball. This ball is pretty much a European standard for smallish travel trailers like the Hymer or Eriba .
etrailer was the only provider to offer 50mm balls and were absolutely helpful with the order.
etrailer are pros, I recommend them to all U.S. Veterans ....you won’t be disappointed!
Semper Fidelis!
It is a very good quality product and the proper choice for 50mm European type couplers. This was the only place I could find this size!
All is perfect: exceptional customer service, order processing and shipment. Please thank all involved.

This ball is of good quality as expected, but most important it solved a problem for me, finding a ball here in the USA in the 50 mm size which is common in Europe but almost unknown here. (it is a tiny bit smaller than the common 2" which will not fit the trailer I own!
Very fast shipping, good packaging and works beautifully with our hitch mount Thule bike carrier that we ordered from Germany.
Product as stated, excellent service and fast shipping. I'm stationed in Germany (APO AE address) and the item was shipped via USPS Priority Mail. I already had a class 3 6,000 lb U.S. style hitch, so the item 1 inch diameter shank fit perfect in the 1 inch hole that is on the hitch. The ball is 50mm so it is a perfect fit for all of the European trailers. Now all I need is an adapter from the 7 pin U.S. that is on my U.S. Spec 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee to go to the 13 pin EU plug for European trailers. A guy that I work with has already made one for his Jeep, so I'm waiting for him to make me one.
Very satisfied with the etrailer.com and would buy from again.
Thanks,
Jeff
We specialize in supporting the sailplane and soaring community. Unfortunately, the sport is dominated by European manufacturers and a lot of the sailplane trailers and peripheral equipment use metric components. The 50mm Hitch Ball allows our customers to avoid changing they trailer hitches to a 2 inch hitch ball as well as allow them to use sailplane towbars without changing out the standard couplers that come with them.
Great product. I have a European trailer which requires a 50mm hitch ball. Etrailer was the only company I found in the USA which offered a 50mm hitch ball. I just returned from a 2,500 mile trip with no issues with this product. I highly recommend Etrailer for quality products.
Excellent product and a perfect fit for my Trailer Metric Hitch Coupler, I love the 1" diameter Shank instead of the original 3/4" with spacer
After trying to find a metric hitch ball locally I found Etrailer.com.
the 50 mil ball has worked perfectly for the year and the simplicity of getting it from Etrailers.com made for a pleasant transaction.
Shipping was fast. It was as expected, quality is seen and felt.. Would recommend.
Not sure about the actual item but the service is extraordinary!
what i needed for a european trailer! hard to find. forcing a 1 7/8 or 2" ball onto a european 50mm is an accident waiting to happen, get the correct size!
Fast shipment and ONLY etrailer has the part that I was looking for.
Great service. Fast shipping and delivery.. Exactly what I ordered. Recently acquired a small camper to restore and it is British made so I needed a 50 mm ball to tow with they had it in stock.. I will check with them if I need anything else...
It's the greatest trailer ball I've ever had, no question.
