Fastway Integrated Scale Ball Mount (ISBM)
Towing on a flat, straight, smooth road can be pretty boring, especially if you are always towing the same load on the same trailer – but that’s a good thing. Excitement usually results in damage, injury and costs – our humble opinion is that there are much better ways to spend your time.
If you tow different trailers or different loads on the same trailer, an integrated scale on your ball mount helps you achieve a properly balanced load. This means better steering, better braking control and less trailer sway.

Fastway Integrated Scale Ball Mount (ISBM)
The Flash ISBM from Fastway is made from aircraft-grade aluminum making it about half the weight of a comparable steel ball mount – it’s nice when you’re working long days and have to carry, adjust and install the ball mount on different vehicles. Adjusting for different heights is easy and perfect for switching between different trailers or trucks. Sizes range from a four to ten-inch drop; five to 11 inch rise; and have a max tongue weight of 455 kg (1,000 lb) and a max trailer weight of 4,536 kg (10,000 lb). They fit a 2” receiver and come with a 2” or 2-5/16” chrome hitch ball.
