Trailer Safety Chains

A trailer safety chain is a assembly which provides a secondary means of connection between the rear of the towing vehicle and the front of the trailer.

The purpose of a safety chain is to retain a connection between the towing vehicle and trailer in the event of separation of the trailer coupling from the hitch ball or the trailer ball mount from the hitch. Required in many US states / Canadian provinces.

Installation Instructions

Connect the safety chain to the trailer.
Cross the two ends of the chain under the coupler and connect to the chain brackets on the hitch. This helps prevent the trailer tongue from dropping to the ground.
Loop the chains through the hitch brackets and connect the ends of the chains using quick links.
Tighten the hex nuts on the quick links.
Allow enough slack to permit turning of the tow vehicle and trailer.

Note: Make sure chain and quick links are rated higher than the weight of the trailer or car being towed.
