Abstract: A unitary or integral hitch and beam, which is a single unit that can be installed on vehicles of varying dimensions. The integral hitch and beam may reduce manufacturing time, weight, and parts, thus reducing cost of vehicles with hitches. The beam is cut to length depending on the rail distance of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention is a unitary or integral hitch and beam, which is a single unit that can be installed on vehicles of varying dimensions. The present invention may reduce manufacturing time, weight, and parts, thus reducing cost of vehicles with hitches. The beam is cut to length depending on the rail distance of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A beam having a gooseneck shape with two gooseneck portions. The beam may have a variety of cross sectional configurations. One such configuration has an upper front wall, a lower front wall, and an offset wall there between. The offset wall may be recessed, or offset away from the body of the beam. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the gooseneck beam by positioning a length of a material on a flat surface of a two-cam rotating member; gripping said material with said two-cam rotating member; restraining said length; rotating said two-cam rotating member to form a first and second; and pressing a portion of said material.
