Weight rating for swing tongue?

[BRICH1260]

Is there a weight rating on a bolt on or weld on trailer swing tongue assembly? I have been contemplating adding a swing tongue assembly to my trailer tongue to save storage space but was wondering if there was a weight rating on them. I have not seen one stated . My boat and trailer weigh around 6200lbs. Whats your experience and opinions.

Re: Weight rating for swing tongue?

I would imagine that the manufacturer would have some sort of weight ratings. You may have to search a few swing-away tongue products to see what the limits are.

6200 lbs does seem a bit high. Usually you find the swing away tongues on smaller setups as folks use them to fit their boat in the garage, etc.
