Maxxhaul 70367 – 5/8 in forged steel rotating hitch lock with anodised aluminium head
After a straightforward, no-drama way to secure bike racks, cargo carriers and small trailers when they’re hitched up? The Maxxhaul 70367 does exactly that. Think simple, solid and properly deterrent — a forged steel pin where strength matters, with an anodised aluminium head to keep the weather at bay.
Features
It’s compact but purposeful. The forged steel rod measures 2-7/8 in long by 5/8 in diameter (about 73 mm x 16 mm), so it’s plenty tough for everyday use and resists bending or snapping. The anodised aluminium head has an enclosed key slot cover to keep grit and moisture out — useful if your towbar spends time in the rain or the salty seaside. The lock rotates a full 360° for easy operation in tight spots, and the key won’t come out until the pin clicks fully home, so you always know it’s locked up properly.

How it helps
Ever left a bike rack on the back overnight and felt a bit uneasy? This lock takes that worry away. It’s quick to fit, awkward for thieves to meddle with, and the key-withdrawal feature means there’s no guesswork about whether it’s secure. The weatherproof head also cuts down on seized locks after a wet winter or a coastal run — a proper bonus if your towbar sees the elements regularly.
Practical notes
Fits standard 2″ x 2″ Class III and IV receivers; if your receiver is non-standard, check the measurements first. It’s ideal for securing accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers and other tow-mounted kit, and acts as a strong theft deterrent — but bear in mind it’s not a replacement for heavy-duty trailer or wheel locks on large commercial trailers. The dimple-style keys give extra pick resistance, and spares can be ordered by code if required.
All in all, a tidy, robust solution that keeps things simple: a strong forged pin, weatherproof head, reliable locking action and a rotating fit that makes life easier. No more faffing about with a loose pin or fretting overnight — this one sorts it out and gives real peace of mind.
