It can even take the form of a tow-ball so as to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is another category of hitches that is utilized on military vehicles internationally.

The ball mount enables the ball to be mounted to it while receiver hitches have ball mounts that are removable. The fixed drawbar hitch is one more type of hitch. These versions have incorporated ball-mounts. It is essential for the ball-mount to match the SAE hitch class. The ball-mount used in a receiver type of hitch is a rectangular bar that fits into a receiver which is attached to the motor vehicle.
