24‑Inch Safety Chain with Hook‑Latch – 2,000 lb Capacity

Compact Strength from a 24‑Inch Safety Chain

Light trailers still deserve solid backup gear. The Hitchworks 24‑inch safety chain provides that security without extra bulk. Although the links measure only 3/16 inch, the Grade 30 steel carries a 2,000 lb working load and meets SAE J684 Class I. Consequently, small boat, PWC, and landscape trailers stay legal and protected.

Because every link receives a zinc coating, rust has a harder time taking hold. After salty or muddy trips, a quick rinse keeps the chain bright. Furthermore, the included safety hook features a spring latch, so you clip on quickly yet prevent accidental bounce‑off over rough pavement.

Built for Easy Cross‑Under Fit

At 24 inches long, the 24‑inch safety chain crosses easily beneath most A‑frame tongues. Crossing the pair forms a cradle that can catch the coupler if it drops, adding another layer of defense. Additionally, the 3/16 inch links remain flexible, letting you snake the chain around jack tubes or frame rails without kinks.

If you need to shorten or lengthen the reach, you can remove or add a quick link—no cutting wheel required. Because the working‑load tag stays stamped on the end link, inspectors and launch ramp attendants see compliance at a glance.

Quick Hook‑Up, Reliable Hold

Each chain ships with a forged hook and heavy spring latch. The wide throat slides over most factory hitch loops in seconds; after that, the latch snaps shut to keep everything secure. Thus, you spend less time fumbling with hardware and more time rolling down the road.
