Safety
The Hensley Arrow® mechanically locks sway out and creates an inherently stable relationship between your trailer and tow vehicle. Uneven road conditions, wind gusts, passing trucks and steep downhill grades can all be handled with confidence. However, common sense and normal safety precautions should always be used.
All hitch models and parts are in stock and ready to ship the day you order, shipping from our Michigan, USA production plant to your doorstep within a few days. No waiting days or weeks to fill an order.
Design
The secret of the Hensley Arrow® rests in its patented converging linkage design. The Arrow allows movement on the ball in every direction except side-to-side. Side-to-side movement is forced to go through the linkage system which is one-directional. From the trailer side, the linkage is solid. Pivoting by the linkage must be initiated through the tow vehicle. The system’s design is inherently stable. Best of all, it functions mechanically, without the use of friction so it exhibits consistent and predictable behavior regardless of changes in weather or road conditions.
Construction
The Arrow is constructed with careful attention to detail and is continuously checked to see that the highest quality is maintained throughout the manufacturing process. Made to last as long as you tow.
Solid Steel Construction
Heavy-duty spring bars and jacks.
Tapered roller axle bearings, seated in hardened bearing races, packed with grease, and sealed from moisture.
Corrosion Protection
All main components of the Hensley Arrow are protected by a powder paint process. Powder paint is the strongest, most durable paint coating available for equipment exposed to the elements. It’s not the easiest or the cheapest, but it’s a luxury we think is consistent with the excellence of Hensley’s design, construction, and performance.
A travel trailer outfitted with the Hensley Arrow® gives you:
Our test run of 400 miles round trip was impressive and relaxing. After the white knuckles trip of last fall, fighting just to keep my rig on the road when a Semi passed us, I could not believe the difference. I had a string of 6 Semi’s go past without disturbance. GREAT!!
Your hitch is well worth the cost to get my family to our destination and back in safety.
Since purchasing our Hensley Arrow hitch for our 30-foot travel trailer, we have traveled many thousands of miles around the United States and Canada, driving on freeways, state highways, and numerous back roads. The Hensley hitch has been great in all cases. Sway is not “almost” eliminated—it is “totally” eliminated.
I received the new Hensley Arrow on Monday and installed it. We left for our 2 week trip on Wed. Everything worked very well. I was not stressed from the trip. There was absolutly no sway. The cost of the hitch was a shock, but now I will not pull my trailer without it. I consider it an investment, the same as the camper. With each trip, the hitch gets cheaper. The cost of safety can not be measured. Thanks for a very good product.
