The Evolution of the Jim Hensley Hitch: In 1972 Jim Hensley built a small, simple prototype of his converging link hitch design. About 1976, with plans to pursue his hitch idea, Jim ran a patent search and found there was nothing even close to his idea in the patent office. Central Innovative (CII) was incorporated to manufacture and sell the Eliminator Towing System. In 1993 Jim received an inquiry for information from Colin Connell. Jim licensed the patent to the Colin, and in the first part of 1994 Hensley Mfg. Inc., was formed in Davison, Michigan for the manufacturing and sales of the hitch, now renamed the Hensley Arrow Hitch. CII continued to build hitches for Hensley Mfg. for a time until they got up to speed. Jim continued to work on design improvements that never materialized with Hensley Mfg. For this and other reasons Sean Woodruff, the 10 year Vice President of Hensley Mfg., ended his relationship with the company and began working on ProPride, Inc. In October of 2007, Jim Hensley and Sean Woodruff worked to build the most advanced Hensley hitch design to date... the ProPride 3P.
