Saracen Ultra Trailer Hitch Lock Review
Hitch Locks Help Prevent Theft of Caravans, Boat Trailers, Horse Floats
In My Opinion, the Saracen Ultra Trailer Hitch Lock is the Best on the Market today
Unfortunately, there are a few deranged people, who think nothing of stealing your hard earned Caravans, Boat Trailers, Horse Floats etc. These are easy targets for criminals, as they are often left unattended for extended periods of time.
Fitting hitch locks or wheel clamps, means your prized possession. should still be where you parked it.
Over the years, I have had a few different coupling Locks, and the latest being the Saracen Ultra, this is by far the best I've owned so far.
I am quite impressed with this Saracen Ultra Trailer Hitch Lock by Purple Line.
Using it on your Caravan, Boat, Horse Float etc, is quick and functional. Another great advantage, is you can now leave your trailer attached to your car, and drive without the need to remove the device first.

Here is a YouTube Video Demo I made of the Saracen Ultra Trailer Hitch Lock by Purple Line
If you scroll to the 4.07 minute mark in this video, you will see a split screen on-road demo i did, showing two different viewpoints, with my car and trailer hitched while driving on the road. I also drove up and down driveways, to show the articulation of the coupling lock in action.
While nothing will stop a determined thief, this lock will make it difficult for the opportunistic ones out there.

Addressing these shortcomings required manual modifications, including resizing the nut and adding an additional securing nut atop the tow ball to prevent further damage. Regrettably, these adjustments highlight a fundamental oversight in the hitch's design and the apparent lack of consideration for varying nut sizes commonly found in the New Zealand market.
Overall, the Saracen Ultra Trailer Hitch's design shortcomings are evident, and the missed opportunity for straightforward fixes is disappointing. Improved attention to detail and market-specific considerations are essential for enhancing its suitability and safety for New Zealand consumers.
I know its not goint to stop a determined thief, but it does makes it harder to steal my caravan.
