26″ Trailer Safety Chain with Hook‑Latch – 5,000 lb Capacity

Safety Chain Built for Confident Towing

Every serious hauler knows a strong trailer safety chain is the final line of defense if a coupler fails. The Hitchworks 26″ chain delivers that protection. Because it meets SAE J684 Class III standards, you can rely on it to keep trailer and tow vehicle connected—even in rough terrain or sudden stops.

Strength You Can Trust

We manufacture this trailer safety chain from Grade‑30 steel, and each 1/4″ (7 mm) link is proof‑tested for a 5,000 lb working load. Therefore, the chain handles typical boat, cargo, and utility trailers with room to spare. Moreover, the zinc‑plated finish fights rust, so the links stay strong after rain, snow, or saltwater exposure.

Quick, Secure Hook‑Latch

Instead of a plain slip hook, this assembly includes a heavy‑duty safety hook with a spring latch. As a result, you clip on fast yet keep the chain from bouncing free on rough roads. The hook’s wide throat also fits most factory hitch loops, so installation is almost effortless.

Sized Right for Most Trailers

Because the chain measures 26″ overall, it crosses easily under an A‑frame tongue while still allowing tight turns. If you need a longer or shorter reach, you can add or remove a link—thanks to the open‑eye hook design. Additionally, the 1/4″ link diameter balances strength with flexibility, making the chain easy to route and store.
