The handle (usually blue or gray) offers an ergonomic and easy-to-grip design, making it more convenient to install or remove the pin.
Here are the primary applications of a blue/gray handle hitch pin:
In agricultural machinery, Blue/Gray Head Hitch Pins are vital for attaching and securing implements to tractors or other vehicles.

The blue/gray handle hitch pin is widely used to secure a trailer hitch to the tow vehicle’s receiver. This ensures that the hitch does not come loose while the vehicle is in motion, providing a safe and stable connection between the vehicle and the trailer.
Portable Boat Launching: When using a trailer for launching or hauling boats in and out of water, the hitch pin is an essential safety component, securing the boat trailer to the vehicle for reliable transport.
Similar to agricultural uses, construction trailers that carry heavy equipment often rely on secure hitch pins to ensure they are safely attached to towing vehicles.
Ground Support Equipment: For towing ground support equipment (like baggage carts or aircraft tow bars) in airports, Blue/Gray Handle Hitch Pins ensure that the vehicles or equipment stay securely attached to towing vehicles.
