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.
Long runs over outback corrugations, cobblestone, and rough rural roads beat on your trailer, your tow vehicle, and everything you packed inside. Every hard knock travels straight up through the coupler and into your back. The Shocker Metric Export Air Hitch puts a commercial air bag between your rig and the road, so those jolts get soaked up before they reach your cargo or your spine. It is the same Original Red 14K chassis fitted with metric ball mount attachments for Australian and European trailers, rated to haul up to 12,000 lbs GTW. The 22mm ball hole takes standard 50mm or 70mm bolt-on tow balls, so it drops straight onto AU and EU couplers with no adapters. You get 3-1/2" to 7-1/2" of drop on a 2-inch shank to line up with your trailer height. Built for metric coupler standards, not the US or Canada.

Installation

Built to Fit Metric Trailers
22mm Ball Hole
The ball mount is drilled to the 22mm hole standard used across Australia and Europe. Your bolt-on 50mm or 70mm trailer ball threads straight in, with no adapters or US-spec workarounds to hunt down.
Same 14K Air Ride Chassis
Under the paint this is the Original Shocker 14K, with laser-cut steel side plates, a multi-ply commercial air bag, and a rocker-arm pivot doing the heavy lifting. The only thing that changes for your market is the ball mount geometry.
Adjustable Air Pressure
Add or let out air to match the ride to whatever you are towing that day. A heavier load takes more air and a light trailer takes less, so it stays composed either way. Same advantage our domestic air hitches give you.
Air Ride Where You Need It
Outback corrugations in Australia and cobble or rough rural roads in Europe hammer trailers and tow vehicles alike. The built-in air bag soaks up that pounding before it works its way into your cargo or your spine.
What It Handles Best
Common AU and EU tow jobs where this hitch earns its keep:
- Towing caravans and off-road trailers across the Australian outback
- Pulling European caravans and small horse floats
- Box and utility trailers up to 12,000 lbs (5,400 kg)
- Boat trailers hauled over long, rough country roads
- Light commercial trailers for trades and contractors
- Any AU or EU coupler-standard trailer where a smoother ride matters
Metric Export vs. US/Canada Lines
Pick the right line for where you tow:
Metric Export (AU / EU)
22mm ball hole that takes 50mm or 70mm metric bolt-on balls. This is the one to grab in Australia and Europe, where US imperial couplers are not the norm.
Original Shocker 14K (US / Canada)
Runs the imperial 2" or 2-5/16" ball setup for the North American market. Same chassis you see here, just a different ball geometry.
Metric Off-Road AU/EU Tongue Mount
Puts the metric coupler on the trailer side instead of the truck. Pick this one if you want the air ride to stay with the trailer as different tow vehicles hook up.
Buy Your Ball Locally
Metric ball sizes change from region to region (50mm is standard across most of Europe, while 70mm is common in Australia and parts of the EU for heavier trailers), so we sell the hitch without the trailer ball. Pick up a 50mm or 70mm bolt-on ball locally to match your coupler. Both drop straight into the 22mm hole on the included ball mount attachment.
Shipping and Warranty
It ships direct from our Canadian stock, with international shipping available, so there is no waiting on a factory order. You are covered by Shocker Hitch's 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If the air bag ever needs replacing, you can swap it in the field in about 5 minutes, and replacement bags are available worldwide. Buyers are responsible for any local import duties, taxes, or compliance certification at the destination.
