They use what is refered to as a Rockinger hitch. Not pintel hitches. The hitch attached to the power unit has the swivel's built in, very tight fitting, no slop, designed for vertical, horizontal and rotation. The hitch is made with a vertical pin, actuated by a lever on the side, this pin is precision fit in an upper and lower pin boss. The towed unit has the proper sized tang, that will insert into the hitch, and cannot be uncoupled through pin loss. Use the lever to raise the pin, insert the tang then lower the pin and it absolutely can not come unhooked.

There is no requirements for safety chains with style hitch, and their used with loads in excess of 1,000,000 +. Here is a link to to video of a large transport, towed by a Rockinger.
