What sort of hitch is this

[Digester Man]

Got one of these on our Merlo, can anyone tell me what it is called as I would like to sell it online. I’ve googled “euro hitch” and “auto coupling” but they don’t return any results similar to mine. Would it be the same as what’s used on a rigid lorry? It’s spring loaded

Rockinger hitch?

Rockinger is the manufacturers name, they make all sorts of different hitches.

Yes, but isn’t it one of those things that's just known by a brand name? Like hoover or jeep? Suppose it's an automatic towing hitch or automatic pin hitch.

Jost or Rockinger would be the main brands here in the UK , not Sure if they have a generic name to be honest .

Trying to buy towing eye or part and saying it’s for a Rockinger type hitch won’t get you very far, trust me I’ve been there! And that was from a Rockinger agent!
There’s many many different types and sizes of that hitch. You need to know the specific type, pin size, opening, Ring diameter etc etc.

Some yes. The hitch is normally known by it’s size and make.
Eg ours is a 57mm VBG hitch.
