Frequently Asked Questions​

Safety chains are secondary connection chains that keep a trailer attached to the tow vehicle if the primary hitch or coupler fails.
Replacement is recommended if chains show rust, stretching, cracked links, damaged hooks, improper length, or missing safety latches.
Yes. Compromised chains may fail under load, eliminating the last line of protection during a hitch or coupler failure.
Yes. Safety chains must meet or exceed the trailer’s gross weight rating and comply with applicable towing safety standards.
Yes. Chains that are too long can drag and spark, while chains that are too short can restrict turning or stress the hitch connection.
Yes. Crossing chains helps cradle the trailer tongue if it disconnects, reducing the chance of it contacting the ground.
Yes. Replacement typically includes properly rated hooks, latches, and secure attachment points as needed.
Requirements can vary based on trailer type, weight, and local regulations, but proper rating and secure attachment are always essential.
Most replacements are completed within a short service visit, depending on attachment method and hardware condition.
