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.
Hook a 20,000 lb trailer to a solid mount and every frost heave, pothole, and hard stop slams straight through the ball into your truck, your load, and your back. On a 1-ton dragging a skid steer or a loaded dump trailer, that constant jarring wears out everything it touches. The Impact Max Cushion Hitch fixes it with two sealed rubber bump cushions that soak up the shock before it ever reaches you. It hauls a full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, slides into 2-1/2-inch receivers, and adjusts from 3 inches of drop to 5 inches of rise so you can tow dead level. There is no air pressure to check and nothing to maintain. Hook up and pull.

Why a 20K Cushion Hitch
Capacity That Matches a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion has plenty of muscle for half-tons and a lot of three-quarter-tons. But the day you start dragging skid steers, dump trailers, or a loaded equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, you need the heavier 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, thicker steel.
Two Cushions Take the Hit
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock every time the trailer chucks or the road turns rough. The ball mount pivots on those cushions, so it rides smoother than a solid mount even when you are loaded to full GTW.
A Finish That Holds Up
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and looks right behind a blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Drag Along
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed shut and needs neither. That is a real advantage out on a remote job site or ranch where firing up a compressor is not always in the cards.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is a serious load. The Impact Max is made for the trucks and trailers that live at that number, with none of the air-ride routine.
- 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, GMC 3500HD)
- Dually trucks loaded to full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where simple and durable beats adjustable
- Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. The only real choice is how you want the ride cushioned.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need attention. No compressor, no gauge, nothing to check before you tow. It runs about 30 to 40 percent cheaper than the air-ride version and still gives you a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount. This is the pick if you want it simple, tough, and done.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune to each load for more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over the years, though you can swap it in the field. Reach for this one if you tow daily or haul heavy and want to fine-tune the ride.
Built for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, nobody has time to check airbag pressure before every tow. The Impact Max 20K wipes that step off the list. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again, year after year, with no maintenance routine hanging over you. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you would rather treat the hitch like any other tough piece of fleet gear, this is the one built for you.
Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black: combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run a few trucks across the Shocker lineup and one set of attachments carries across the whole 20K family, so you are not buying doubles. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and every hitch is stocked in Canada and ships direct with no border wait.
