33173; Fifth Wheel King Pin Wedge; For 16K & 26K Husky Hitches

The Husky Towing 33173 King Pin Wedge is designed to restrict unwanted movement between a 5th wheel hitch and Sidewinder pin box, allowing Husky 16K and 26K fifth wheel hitches to operate safely and correctly with Sidewinder-equipped trailers. By locking the pin box into a fixed position, this wedge prevents rotational movement and ensures the pivot point remains at the intended location for improved towing control. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the wedge permanently installs behind the kingpin of the pin box and inserts directly into the fifth wheel hitch head. This secure interface eliminates lateral movement that can cause instability during towing, especially when turning or navigating uneven road conditions. The non-adjustable design ensures consistent engagement once installed, reducing the need for ongoing adjustments. Finished in a durable black powder coat, the Husky Towing 33173 resists corrosion and wear caused by road debris and environmental exposure. Installation is straightforward, with an estimated install time of 0.5 hours, and does not require specialized tools. Designed specifically by Husky Towing for Husky fifth wheel systems, this wedge provides a reliable solution for safely pairing Husky hitches with Sidewinder pin boxes. Prop 65 compliant.
