Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.
Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.
Corrugated outback tracks, cobblestone, and long rough country roads send a hard, jarring beating up through the coupler into your trailer, your truck, and everything you're hauling. This is the same Original Red 14K air-ride chassis that tames it, fitted with a metric ball mount for Australian and European rigs. The built-in air bag catches the road shock before it reaches your cargo or your back. It hauls up to 12,000 lbs, and the 22mm ball hole takes a standard 50mm or 70mm bolt-on tow ball, so it drops straight onto AU/EU couplers with no imperial workarounds. You get 1/2" to 4-1/2" of drop on a 2-inch shank to level out to your trailer. Built for AU/EU coupler standards, so North American buyers should choose the imperial line.

Built for Metric Markets
22mm Ball Hole
The ball mount is drilled to the 22mm hole standard used across Australia and Europe, so a bolt-on 50mm or 70mm trailer ball fits straight on. No adapters, no US-spec workarounds to hunt down.
Same 14K Air Ride Chassis
Under the metric ball mount this is the Original Shocker 14K: laser-cut steel side plates, a multi-ply commercial air bag, and a rocker-arm pivot. Only the ball geometry changes for the region, so you get the same proven guts.
Adjustable Air Pressure
Add or bleed off air to match whatever you're towing. A heavier load takes more air, a light trailer takes less. It dials in the ride the same way our domestic air hitches do.
Air Ride Where You Need It
Outback corrugations and European cobble and rural roads pound hard knocks into your trailer and tow vehicle. The built-in air bag soaks up that shock before it works its way into your cargo or up your spine.
Ideal Applications
The AU/EU tow jobs this hitch was made for:
- Outback caravan and off-road trailer runs
- European caravans and small horse floats
- Box and utility trailers up to 12,000 lbs / 5,400 kg
- Boat trailers over long, rough country roads
- Trades and contractor trailers hauling gear
- Any AU/EU coupler trailer where a smooth ride matters
Metric Export vs. US/Canada Lines
Pick the line that matches your market:
Metric Export (AU / EU)
This one. A 22mm ball hole that takes 50mm or 70mm metric bolt-on balls, built for Australian and European markets where US imperial couplers aren't standard.
Original Shocker 14K (US / Canada)
Same air-ride chassis set up for the imperial 2" or 2-5/16" ball. Pick this one if you're towing in North America. Different ball geometry, same guts.
Metric Off-Road AU/EU Tongue Mount
Puts the metric coupler on the trailer side instead of the truck. Go this way if you want the air ride to stay with the trailer when you swap tow vehicles.
Buy Your Ball Locally
Metric ball sizes change by region, so the trailer ball ships separately and you source it close to home. 50mm is the standard across most of Europe, and 70mm is common in Australia and parts of the EU for heavier trailers. Grab the one that matches your trailer coupler. Both bolt straight into the 22mm hole on the included ball mount attachment.
Shipping and Warranty
In stock in Canada and ready to ship internationally, so there's no factory wait. It's backed by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If the air bag ever wears out, it's field-replaceable in about 5 minutes, and replacement bags are available globally. Any local import duties, taxes, or compliance certification at the destination are the buyer's responsibility.
