Safety
The Hensley Arrow® mechanically locks sway out and creates an inherently stable relationship between your trailer and tow vehicle. Thus, you can confidently handle uneven road conditions, wind gusts, passing trucks, and steep downhill grades.
All hitch models and parts are in stock and ready to ship the day you order, shipping from our Michigan, USA, production plant to your doorstep within a few days. No waiting days or weeks to fill an order.
Design
The secret of the Hensley Arrow® rests in its patented converging linkage design. The Arrow allows movement on the ball in every direction except side-to-side. Side-to-side movement is forced to go through the linkage system which is one-directional. From the trailer side, the linkage is solid. Pivoting by the linkage must be initiated through the tow vehicle. The system’s design is inherently stable. Best of all, it functions mechanically without the use of friction, so it exhibits consistent and predictable behavior regardless of changes in weather or road conditions.
Construction
The Arrow is constructed with careful attention to detail and is continuously checked to ensure that the highest quality is maintained throughout the manufacturing process. It is made to last as long as you tow.
Solid Steel Construction
Heavy-duty spring bars and jacks. Tapered roller axle bearings, seated in hardened bearing races, packed with grease, and sealed from moisture.
Corrosion Protection
All main components of the Hensley Arrow are protected by a powder paint process. Powder paint is the strongest, most durable paint coating for equipment exposed to the elements. We are committed to offering a premium product with long-lasting coatings and have made significant changes to enhance paint adhesion in our process.
What is the difference between the Hensley Arrow® and ProPride 3P®?
When comparing the Hensley Arrow® and the ProPride 3P® hitch for sway elimination, both stand out due to their unique linkage systems, which transfer the pivot point forward from the trailer coupler, preventing uncontrollable sway caused by side forces.
While both systems excel in this aspect, they differ in design regarding preventing trailer movement at the ball and coupler. The ProPride employs an underframe yoke system, while the Hensley Arrow® utilizes adjustable strut assemblies.
The advantage of the strut system lies in its easy adjustability without tools, ensuring perfect stability by eliminating any trailer movement caused by tolerance at the ball/coupler. In terms of hitch bars, while ProPride offers an adjustable option suitable for various vehicle heights, Hensley provides both adjustable and fixed hitch bars, offering users the choice between convenience and lighter weight with no maintenance. Ultimately, Hensley aims to offer flexibility and choice, continually improving manufacturing to meet customer preferences. Read more here.
How do you properly use weight distribution with a Hensley?
Weight distribution with a Hensley is easy. The weight distribution aspect of the hitch is completely separate from the sway elimination aspect of the hitch.
Even if you forgot to pull up the weight distribution, your trailer will NEVER sway.
When you set up your weight distribution, you are looking for a couple things. You want to minimize the bouncing between your truck and trailer, and you want to have good, firm,positive steering.
Read your owner’s manual carefully for instructions on first setting up your weight distribution. If you use an air lift system in your truck, inflate those first to where you like them to be. Then use the weight distribution to get a good ride.

Will a bigger truck reduce trailer sway?
Understanding Trailer Sway
Trailer sway, the side-to-side motion that can occur while towing, is caused by factors such as wind, road conditions, weight distribution, and hitch configuration. Addressing these elements directly, rather than depending on vehicle size alone, is essential for effective sway control.
Weight Distribution and Balance
Stability begins with proper weight distribution inside the trailer. Ideally, 10-15% of the trailer’s weight should rest on the hitch. A weight distribution hitch can help achieve this balance and enhance towing stability.
Choosing the Right Hitch for Ultimate Control
The quality and setup of your hitch play a crucial role in preventing sway. Opting for a sway elimination hitch, such as the Hensley Arrow®, manages both sway control and weight distribution, giving you a safer, smoother towing experience.
No need for a specialized truck to tow safely! Just ensure you’re within your vehicle’s towing limits, and with a Hensley Arrow, you can eliminate trailer sway and enjoy a worry-free adventure.
