The key to the TS3 is in the level head pivoting system. The Holland-Binkley style hitch head pivots about a point level with the head itself. This transfers not only the up-down motion of the trailer but the fore-aft motion as well. And because of the level-head pivot, all forward motion of the trailer is transferred down, increasing your traction on the road when you need it most. That’s why the TrailerSaver TS3 provides not only the smoothest ride of any 5th-wheel hitch but the safest as well.

The TrailerSaver hitch comes fully assembled. For freight or business shipping within the contiguous United States, there is a flat fee of $240. After your purchase, a specialist will call to confirm the terminal location. Learn more about our shipping options.

Uncompromising Comfort

TrailerSaver isn’t simply an improvement on an old idea. We designed our air-ride hitches from the ground up. We engineered our TrailerSaver hitches to eliminate up to 98% of the bouncing and chucking–the fore and aft motion–of your 5th-wheel trailer.

How did we accomplish this? Through a concept, we call the Level Beam Design.

TrailerSaver Uncompromising Comfort

The Level Beam Design places the pivot point of the hitch assembly level with the hitch head.

Why is this important?

Because all of the fore-aft motion, or chucking, of the trailer is forced up and slightly forward of the kingpin. A pivot point at any other location would cause a violent surge forward, possibly causing a loss of control. TrailerSaver is still the only company to employ a Level Beam Design. It’s why we continue to rate as the smoothest, most comfortable 5th-wheel hitch on the road. 

Worried about frame flex?  

The TrailerSaver hitch connects to whatever kingpin the manufacturer installed and therefore does not put undue stresses on the pin box or frame, because the trailer pivots at the location it was intended.  Read more here

Hitching and Unhitching your TS3


Isn’t an air-ride pinbox just as effective as a TrailerSaver hitch?

Although an air-ride pinbox will offer some cushioning effect on the trailer, other more pronounced effects such as chucking will be amplified, particularly during starts and stops.

In addition to performance you must consider how long you might own the existing 5th wheel as the air-ride pinbox must match the hole-pattern of your existing trailer and are usually non-transferable to a different trailer.

Why not just get an air-ride suspension instead?

An air-ride suspension is fantastic for keeping your rig level and for maintaining a constant drive line angle; however, the air suspension actually increases the stiffness of the suspension at the point of connection between the trailer and truck. With less give at the point of connection, the road stress that leads to trailer damage is increased making the need for the TrailerSaver that much greater.

Is an anti-chucking pinbox attachment compatible with the TrailerSaver?

Many of the popular anti-chucking pinbox attachments are compatible with the TrailerSaver, however, many have found they don’t need such attachments as the TrailerSaver eliminates all fore and aft chucking without such devices.

With the weight of the TrailerSaver TS3, how could I possibly get this out of my truck?

Although some people have access to an engine hoist, cherry picker, or tractor to lift the hitch out of the bed, many do not. The easiest way to remove the TS3 is to simply detach all 4 detent pins from the hitch rails, raise the trailer jacks, and allow the TS3 to stay attached to the pin of the trailer.

Is an air-ride hitch with 4 airbags better than a TrailerSaver?

Many hitch systems offer unique towing properties and the TrailerSaver design is the result of many years of towing experience, testing, and real world use. A four airbag hitch is designed to allow the hitch head to move on the airbags in any direction based on articulation from the trailer itself. The result of such erratic and continuous motion results in a feeling of instability as well as increased chucking and surging forces form the trailer on the truck. In addition to the movement from the trailer, the 4 airbag hitch must support 100% of the pin weight, reducing the effectiveness of any potential cushion effect from the air springs.

If I am on a trip and lose all air pressure will I be stranded?

The TrailerSaver is designed to effectively tow with or without air pressure. If you happen to loose air-pressure, just continue to tow and you are in no danger of compromising the hitch or your trailer. When you arrive at a destination simply contact Hensley Mfg. and our friendly tech support department will assist you with correcting the problem and if necessary ship any replacement parts you may need.

Why should I spend this much money on a product I have not seen in person?

The TrailerSaver is represented at retail locations across the U.S. and Canada; however, most of our sales are factory direct. Factory direct purchases are backed by an unconditional money back guarantee and in most states is sales-tax free. With TrailerSaver products on the shelf and ready to ship at any time, most customers receive their hitch in 3 days or less.

Do I need a certified dealer to install my TrailerSaver?

Because TrailerSaver hitches are designed to mount either into industry standard rails or factory OEM underbed mounts, most customers simply need to place the hitch into mounts already installed in the bed of the truck eliminating the need for dealer installation. The bolt-down hitches for medium duty trucks are often installed by individuals or any professional hitch installer. With our simple and well written installation manual most hitch installers find installation of a TrailerSaver very easy compared with other products.

I deal with product specialist ona daily basis. I work for freightliner custom chassis in Gaffney sc. I acquired about the hitch on line the next day Aaron called and answered all my questions. The deal went great. This attention is not given by most companies. Thanks Hensley for hiring great people 👍.

AWESOME USA BUILT HITCH !!!

I bought my first hensley TS3 air ride hitch in 2008 I/WE put over 150k miles on the unit before I retired (2nd time) in 2014 we used the hitch for full timing 1/2 year and the rest of the year I moved 5th wheel and pull behinds the other half of the year for people who needed their units moved sometimes clear across the country and there was not a single person that saw the unit that did not ask about it and I bragged every time how awesome it was my previous hard mount units would beat me up with every pothole and crack in the road with this unit it was like I didn't even have anything behind me it was AWESOME and I am back to buy another one to go with our new truck and trailer we are going to go fulltime year round so if you have not guessed yet this unit is by far the "ABSOLUTE BEST UNIT OUT THERE YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY" . good luck and enjoy the "air ride" you won't be sorry .
