Alligator Hitch

The Jtec Alligator Hitch is a compact, durable hitch solution designed to provide secure cart retention in material handling applications. Its improved latch profile incorporates an added hook that helps retain carts during dynamic movement, providing a more dependable connection as carts are transported throughout a facility. A key improvement to the Gen 1.5 design is its integrated pivot bushing. This component helps prevent overtightening at the pivot point while increasing wear resistance, supporting dependable operation over repeated use. The hitch also utilizes a compression spring as part of its mechanical latch assembly.

Designed with a compact footprint, the Alligator Hitch measures approximately 9 inches overall in length and 7.75 inches in width, allowing it to integrate into cart and material movement configurations where space and simplicity matter. The complete assembly has an estimated weight of 11.4 pounds. With its straightforward mechanical construction, improved cart retention, and wear-resistant pivot design, the Jtec Alligator Hitch provides a practical connection point for cart-based material movement. Its rugged welded assembly and spring-loaded latch mechanism make it a simple, purpose-built solution for connecting and retaining carts during movement in industrial material handling environments.
