About Us
Schuling Hitch Company since 1939
Schuling Hitch Company was established in 1939 in downtown Des Moines. Today, we have two locations in Central Iowa: one on Second Avenue in Des Moines, and one on Alexander Avenue in Ames. We install trailer hitches, assisting our customers’ boating, camping, biking, and towing adventures.
Our services have expanded along with our business. In addition to installing trailer hitches, we set up vehicles to be towed behind motorhomes, carry a large inventory of bike racks and cargo management accessories, and install Fisher snow plows and snow and ice control equipment. The Ames location (started in 1993) also specializes in fifth wheel and gooseneck installations.
Our family is committed to offering quality products, competitive prices, and exceptional service.

fix, and demonstrate how to use. 2nd time I've used them in my lifetime and don't plan to go anywhere else in the future. Thanks again!
I can’t think of another business that works with such integrity, honesty and professionalism.
I have done business with them several times over the years and have always had a great experience. Our latest purchase was a Thule kayak carrier and we did have an issue with it where it actually damaged our vehicle.
Tyler was quick to stand behind is products and workmanship 100%! He even sent a technician to our house to fix the problem! Can you believe that?!? A house call in this day and age?!? Unbelievable!
Tyler Schuling - you are A-1 and run a great business! I’ll be coming back when it’s time for me to get an e-bike and need a new rack!
Tyler immediately located the issue as the 4-Flat connector was only providing intermittent power.
Tyler also did me a solid and wired my connector through the rear of my vehicle, inside the back hatch to avoid weather corrosion when not in use. Appointment was at 12:00, was finished by 12:45!
Overall, incredibly efficient and professional service. The price was perfect as well. Thank you!

If you are Lucky, you will find a great Spouse, Vocation, Doctor, Mechanic, Fishing Spot and School for your Kids. You don't need to search for absolute BEST Hitch or Bike Rack place. You just found them.
Been using them, for decades. I may not be the World's Original Tightwad but am definitely in the Tight Wad Hall of Fame. I don;t even 'Google' Schuling Product Prices anymore. I know, Schulings price will be darn close, if not better and, quite frankly, Google won't put the hitch on the truck and hook up the lights.
Besides, like my Doctor, I want these guys to be around until after I'm Dead and don't need them anymore.
I called Schuling Hitch, and after I was able to locate and purchase the hitch I needed at parts store, they were able to install and wire it that afternoon (in under 2 hours!), with great service, and a great price! As an example of the kind of personalized service you receive, they noticed from how dusty my car was that I might live on a gravel road (which I do), and after confirming this, gave me the option of installing the wiring inside the vehicle instead of outside, so it wouldn’t drag on the gravel. It works great, and I’d have never gotten that extra touch that will help ensure the wiring lasts if I’d have ended up elsewhere.
