Product Overview

Unlike traditional air-ride pin boxes that require maintenance and air pressure adjustments, the Helux utilizes an automotive-grade internal coil spring system that is virtually maintenance-free with no airbags, bearings, or bushings to service. The system reduces force transferred to the RV frame and body by up to 30% compared to similar pin boxes, helping minimize trailer wear and towing fatigue.

Built from fully welded carbon steel with a durable triple-layer black powder coat finish, the Helux is designed for long-lasting corrosion resistance and dependable performance in demanding towing conditions. It is fully tested to SAE J2638 safety standards and approved for use on Lippert RV frames without voiding the manufacturer warranty.

What is Pin Weight and Why Does it Matter?

Your trailer's pin weight is the amount of weight pressing down on your truck through the king pin. It's the key factor in choosing the right Curt Helux pin box since each model is tuned to a specific pin-weight range. If it's too light, the coil springs won't engage correctly, but if it's too heavy, you'll overstress the system. When this number is accurate, the pin box performs the way it was designed and gives you the smoothest ride possible.

How to Accurately Measure Pin Weight

The most reliable method is to use a set of certified vehicle scales (like CAT scales).

  • Step
    1: Weigh your truck and trailer together with the trailer hitched
    (truck front axle on Scale 1, truck rear axle on Scale 2, and trailer
    axles on Scale 3).
  • Step 2: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight A.
  • Step 3: Unhitch the trailer and weigh the truck alone (front axle on Scale 1 and rear axle on Scale 2).
  • Step 4: Record the weights from Scales 1 and 2, then add them together. This is Weight B.
  • Step 5: Subtract Weight A from Weight B. The difference is your actual pin weight.

This process accounts for how your trailer is actually loaded, which
includes cargo and water tanks, so you know you're picking a pin box that matches the conditions you're using it with.

How to Estimate Pin Weight

If you don't have access to a scale, you can get a ballpark figure with your trailer's GVWR:

  • Step 1: Find the GVWR on the trailer's specification sticker.
  • Step 2: Multiply that number by 0.22.
  • Step 3: The result is your estimated pin weight.

This method gives you a starting point, but remember it's only an estimate. The actual pin weight can change depending on how you fill tanks and distribute weight in the trailer.
