No matter the distance you’re planning to travel, whether it’s just down the street or across the state, using safety chains during towing is not only a smart choice but also a legal requirement. Without safety chains securely attached, you expose yourself to significant risks if your trailer disconnects from the hitch. To mitigate these dangers, utilize safety chains, and prioritize your safety with CURT’s high-quality options.

CURT offers a variety of solutions for securely tethering your trailer. This particular safety chain, model CURT 80312, is crafted from high-strength steel and has been certified with a grade-30 rating. It is designed for reliable coupling to your vehicle, even when traversing rough terrains. Equipped with a robust single safety latch hook, this chain ensures a secure connection.

The CURT safety chain boasts a minimum break force of an impressive 2,000 lbs. It is crucial to remember that each safety chain assembly that connects your trailer to your towing vehicle must meet or exceed the gross trailer weight. For optimal safety, always use two chains during towing.

Measuring a total length of 27 inches, this CURT safety chain features links with a diameter of 3/16 inches. The chain is constructed with durability in mind, featuring a corrosion-resistant zinc plating that protects it from rust and deterioration due to outdoor elements. This makes it a reliable choice for various weather conditions, ensuring your safety chains maintain their integrity over time.

When connecting safety chains for towing, it’s essential to use both chains correctly. Cross the chains underneath the coupler and attach them to the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch receiver. This method enhances stability and reduces the risk of the trailer becoming uncoupled during transit.

In the world of towing, making safety a priority is essential. CURT provides all the necessary safety equipment for successful towing, including electrical components and safety chains. The next time you prepare for an adventure, remember to Bring It safely with CURT.
