That is a typical European/Australian trailer hitches. They work with smaller trailers that are well balanced fore and aft as it is not a heavy load bearing hitch and is not a weight distribution hitch. Here it could (if it is truly DOT certified) be used on teardrops, smaller popups and some small lightweight travel trailers.
Never seen one in Europe. They typically use a ball style, just the shank is typically curved and permanently bolted on rather than the receiver style you see in N. America.QCMan wrote:
Wouldn't a hitch for heavy trailers need a way to distribute weight?
Yes. European lightweight Caravans do not have WDH. Australian and American do- Wouldn't a hitch for heavy trailers need a way to distribute weight?

Out of curiosity, what is the coupling for? Just looking at it, is it a fully articulated coupling for off-road use with lighter pull-behind trailers?

Not lighter Caravans. Yes for Off Road use- That is a typical European/Australian trailer hitches.
