They can be in the form of a tow pin and jaw together with a trailer loop. This design is normally used for agricultural applications with large vehicles where slack in the pivot pin enables articulation and swiveling. It can likewise take the form of a tow-ball in order to enable the same movements of a trailer. The towing pintle is another category of hitches which is used on military vehicles globally.
