The hitch plate is 1/2"? What kind of load do you anticipate?

I killed a similar Conferr unit hauling 150 gallons of water over some slow speeds whoops on a project with my 4' x 6' water trailer. The bend in the plate should greatly increase the vertical load stiffness over the flat Conferr piece.

I had no surviving hitch until I put this on:
