PopUp gives meaning to the phrase "User Friendly". Tow when you need to, and enjoy a smooth bed for all those other jobs when an ordinary hitch ball is always in the way. Gone are the days of crawling inside the truck bed to raise or lower a dirty, greasy hitch ball by hand. The ingenious PopUp retractable gooseneck hitch REMOTELY switches from a hitch ball to a smooth level bed simply by pulling or pushing an actuating rod in the rear wheel well of the truck.                        Quick, Clean and Easy! Safe and Strong   PopUp does not sacrifice strength for convenience. Hitches are rated at 7,500 lbs. maximum tongue weight and 30,000 lbs. maximum trailer weight.    PopUp hitch components bolt together with the truck providing an extremely strong and reliable towing system. And you get this comforting strength with only a 3" hole in the truck bed floor, the smallest of ANY convertible gooseneck hitch ball you can buy. And, PopUp hitches are built specifically for each truck model - so they are a perfect fit.  For safe towing, spring loaded U-bolts (which are level with the bed floor when not in use) are provided for anchoring Safety Chains.  The Strength is Built-In  Front and Rear Cross Members are fabricated from 2" X 2.5" X .375" angle. (1" X 2" steel bar is used for the Front Cross Member in Dodge and for the Rear Cross Member in new body style Chevy and GMC Silverado/Sierra.) Cross Members span and sit on top of the truck frame, thereby transferring all trailer tongue weight directly to the frame of the tow vehicle.   The hitch Center Section, containing the PopUp cam-actuated mechanism that raises and retracts the hitch ball, is fabricated in a 24" long channel formed from 0.25" steel plate. The PopUp Center Section assembly is trussed to accommodate extreme vertical and lateral loading. Bolting the Center Section in place between the Cross Members creates a vertical load capacity that greatly exceeds the maximum rear axle load rating of the pick up trucks PopUp hitches are designed for.   PopUp Frame Plates, which secure the hitch to the tow vehicle, bolt to the Front and Rear Cross Members and use existing frame holes in the web of the frame to bolt to the outside of the truck frame. To provide users with years of trouble-free service load bearing components are casehardened. The cold-finish steel hitch ball is plated with bright yellow chromate. Installation                                      If there is not a PopUp Dealer near you, most trailer and truck accessory businesses can install your PopUp hitch.   You may choose to install your PopUp hitch yourself.  The installed hitch spans the truck frame under the bed floor bolting on the outside of the frame rails using existing holes. It is not necessary to loosen the bed box for installation, and no welding or fabrication is required. Everything is provided with the PopUp hitch system including all installation hardware and useful installation instructions. Some hitch models require frame drilling. Average installation time is less than two hours.        This is a User-Friendly Gooseneck Hitch  PopUp Industries:  Gentlemen, I cannot thank you enough for you product.  I have had several gooseneck hitches in the past and I can say I will never own a truck without the PopUp Hitch.  It is the easiest hitch I have ever used and it leaves the truck bed flat and 100% useful when retracted.  Thank You, Robert C.
