Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch – Anti-Sway & Anti-Bounce Towing System
The Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch is designed to improve towing stability, reduce sway and bounce, and deliver a smoother towing experience.
Unlike traditional weight distribution systems that rely on heavy spring bars, friction sway controls and grease fittings, the Andersen system uses patented motion-dampening tension chain technology to distribute weight effectively while helping reduce sway and bounce.
By transferring tow ball weight more evenly across the tow vehicle and caravan axles, the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch can improve steering response, braking performance and overall towing confidence.
It is primarily used for caravans and can also be suitable for some boat trailers, enclosed trailers and heavy equipment trailers where weight distribution and sway control are beneficial.
