Capture Plate

[dee004]

I've been looking to get an air pin box to replace my Lipert 1621 solid pin box and came across several references to capture plates. Anyone know what they are required for by any chance? I have a Curt 20K slider which I've had for 7 years and this is the first I've heard of capture plates. It was referenced when I was looking at Fifth Airborne air pin boxes. Do I need one? Also are all 1621 Liperts considered long or are there different lengths as well? Cheers

Don't know why you would need a special capture plate unless it's an automatic slider...like the Pull-Rite hitch. Is it the Q20 you have?

Thanks, was at the trailer show today and that's basically what they told me as well. Said it was for specific makes. The salesman showed me one on a trailer they had there. Yes I have a Q20. manual slider.

The king pin plate captures the hitch head so the head turns with the trailer so it can auto slide back

Thanks. What's your preference when it comes to air pin box's? Do you like the Fifthairborne, Trailair or others? Cheers

I can take a picture of a capture plate for a SuperGlide Monday.

Honestly, idk. Never dealt with them.

Thanks bud but no need. But then it may help others out. The salesman at the show told me with my Curt manual slider I don't need one. When I was looking at the Fifth Airborne air pin boxes and saw it listed I didn't know what it was which got me thinking. Cheers.

Yep, they're just for the auto sliders
