At Torklift Central, innovation meets precision with our Retail Product Development Center (RPDC) — a one-of-a-kind facility where engineering and installation expertise collide. Whether it's a new concept, custom fabrication, or showcasing the best in aftermarket part integration, our RPDC delivers industry-leading results that go beyond a typical install bay.
Job Highlight: Front Hitch Installation on a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter Camper
Recently, our RPDC team completed a specialty installation that perfectly illustrates what sets Torklift Central apart. A customer brought in their 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based camper van, and our mission was clear: install the North Hitch X7352, a front-mounted hitch designed for versatility and strength.
Why Front Hitches?
Front hitches aren’t just about utility — they’re about flexibility. Whether for a bike rack, generator tray, snowplow, or recovery gear, a front-mounted hitch expands your vehicle’s capabilities without compromising its existing systems. And when it comes to Class C motorhomes like this Sprinter, space and functionality are everything.
Precision Fitment – The RPDC Advantage
Mercedes Sprinter platforms, particularly camper conversions, often include customized front-end components and underbody structures that require thoughtful adaptation. That’s where the RPDC shines:
- Custom built to fit with no drilling required
- Torklift-grade hardware and torque specifications
- No compromise on ground clearance or vehicle aesthetics
Our team installed the hitch cleanly behind the front license plate bracket, integrating the 2” receiver opening seamlessly beneath the bumper line. The end result: factory-quality fitment with serious added functionality.
Why Torklift Central and the RPDC?
Torklift Central is more than a shop — we’re a development center. When customers come to us, they tap into:
