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.
The Shocker Metric Export Air Hitch is the Original Red 14K chassis fitted with metric ball mount attachments for the Australian and European markets. Rated for 12,000 lbs GTW with a 22mm ball hole that accepts standard 50mm or 70mm bolt-on tow balls. 3-1/2" to 7-1/2" Drop on a 2-inch shank. This is a geographic specialty — built for AU/EU coupler standards, not for the US/Canada market.
Key Highlights
- 12,000 lbs GTW capacity — same chassis as the Original Shocker 14K
- Metric 22mm ball mount hole for AU/EU coupler standards
- Compatible with bolt-on 50mm or 70mm metric tow balls
- Signature Shocker red powder-coat finish
- Built-in air ride suspension absorbs road shock
- 3-1/2" to 7-1/2" Drop for trailer-height matching
- 2-inch shank for Australian and European tow vehicles
- Adjustable air pressure dials in the ride for any load
Built for Metric Markets
22mm Ball Hole
The ball mount attachment is drilled to the metric 22mm hole standard used in Australia and across Europe. Bolt-on 50mm or 70mm trailer balls fit directly — no adapters or US-spec workarounds.
Same 14K Air Ride Chassis
Mechanically this is the Original Shocker 14K: laser-cut steel side plates, multi-ply commercial air bag, rocker-arm pivot. Only the ball mount geometry is regional.
Adjustable Air Pressure
Add or release air to fine-tune the ride for your trailer weight. Heavier load? More air. Light trailer? Less. Same advantage as our domestic air hitches.
Air Ride Where You Need It
Australian outback corrugations and European cobble or rural roads put hard knocks into trailers and tow vehicles. The built-in air bag absorbs the shock before it reaches your cargo or your spine.
Ideal Applications
Common AU/EU tow jobs where this hitch shines:
- Australian outback caravan and off-road trailer towing
- European caravan and small horse-float towing
- Box trailers and utility trailers up to 12,000 lbs / 5,400 kg
- Boat trailers across long, rough country roads
- Light commercial trailers for trades and contractors
- Any AU/EU coupler-standard trailer where ride quality matters
Metric Export vs. US/Canada Lines
Choose the right line for your market:
Metric Export (AU / EU)
22mm ball hole. 50mm or 70mm metric bolt-on balls. For Australian and European markets where US imperial couplers aren't standard.
Original Shocker 14K (US / Canada)
Imperial 2" or 2-5/16" ball ecosystem. For the North American market. Same chassis, different ball geometry.
Metric Off-Road AU/EU Tongue Mount
Metric coupler mounted on the trailer side instead of the truck. Choose if you want the air ride to stay with the trailer when different tow vehicles hook up.
Buy Your Ball Locally
Because metric ball sizes vary by region (50mm is standard across most of Europe; 70mm is common in Australia and parts of the EU for heavier trailers), the trailer ball is sold separately. Source a 50mm or 70mm bolt-on ball locally to match your trailer coupler — both fit the 22mm hole on the included ball mount attachment.
Shipping and Warranty
Manufactured in Jamestown, North Dakota and shipped internationally. Backed by Shocker Hitch's lifetime frame warranty and 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Air bag is field-replaceable in about 5 minutes with replacement bags available globally. Buyer is responsible for any local import duties, taxes, or compliance certification at destination.
