The rough ride showed the need for a better hitch, but it was a glider rocker back home in the living room that gave the inspiration for how to create it. Two neighboring farm raised boys, Jeremy and Justin Handel, took the inventor’s concept and cardboard model and built the first working prototype in their on farm shop. The working prototype they built led to the development of the Star Performance Hitch products of today. Star Performance 10A Cushion Coupler

If you are pulling a 20,000 pound load that has a 5,000 pin weight (down force at the hitch point) there is a point climbing the hill where 5,000 pounds down is a greater force than 20,000 going up. The law of gravity is what makes the hitch work. The Star Performance Hitch is in a product class called cushion couplers with air ride, rubber bumper, springs, shock absorbers, etc. The Star Performance Hitch in truth doesn’t “cushion” the road shock, but uses gravity to eliminate it. The hitch creates a two-directional motion that eliminates the shock and stress on the towing vehicle, the trailer and the cargo. The absence of air lines, compressors, springs, shock absorbers, etc. makes the Star Performance Hitch almost totally maintenance free. We use four hardened steel pins inside of four hardened still caps. With the hardened steel and occasional lubrication, you get minimal wear factor, not unlike the wear on your 2 5/16” ball.

The Star Performance Hitch Series' unique and patented design incorporates everything you could dream of into the ultimate hitch. Because of this unique design, Star Performance Hitches isolate, absorb, and dissipate excess vibrations, jerks, and bounces, protecting your precious load! This in turn puts a much lower demand on the structure of your trailer and vehicle, extending the life and reducing maintenance costs!
