Testing G80 Safety Chain Holders

Road safety starts with product safety and product testing.

The 200t press above is set up to destroy the safety chain holder to its breaking level and record the data.

Welding plays a crucial role in safety. Incorrect or unprofessional welding causes dangerous situations.
8T Military Grade Truck Trailer Safety

  • Every truck with a tow bar that tows a trailer over 3.5t must have a pair of safety chain holders attached. The holder has a 4140-grade pin.
  • Mount the chain holders on either side, adjacent and as close as possible to the tow bar coupling.
  • Furthermore, the attachment must withstand static forces that are incurred during towing and, in particular, be resistant to cracks or breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions: 20mm x 30t G80 Truck Trailer Safety Chain Holder

  • Is this holder compliant with Australian heavy vehicle regulations?
    Yes, this 20mm Grade 80 safety chain holder is fully engineered to meet the stringent design and safety requirements of ADR 62/02, making it legal for use on heavy truck and trailer configurations across Australia.
  • What does the 30-tonne rating signify?
    The 30-tonne (30t) rating represents the maximum load capacity the holder is certified to support. This heavy-duty capacity ensures it can reliably manage the massive kinetic forces generated if a heavy vehicle’s primary coupling fails.
  • How is the Grade 80 (G80) chain secured inside this holder?
    The chain link drops into the heavy-duty structural slot and is locked in place using a specialized high-tensile pin. This layout eliminates the need for bulky, easily lost D-shackles while providing a highly secure mechanical connection.

Advantages & Disadvantages of the 30t G80 Safety Chain Holder

⭐ Advantages ⚠️ Disadvantages
  • Maximum commercial rating: Massive 30t load limit makes it ideal for heavy-duty earthmoving trailers, tippers, and low loaders.
  • Shackle-free convenience: Streamlines the hitching process by allowing the safety chain to drop directly into the holder without threading uncooperative shackles.
  • Grade 80 structural steel: Forged from premium G80 steel alloy to deliver exceptional wear resistance and high structural integrity under extreme shock loads.
  • Streamlined legal compliance: Simplifies passing heavy vehicle roadworthy checks by presenting clearly defined structural test capacities.
  • Complex structural installation: Requires high-level industrial penetration welding to securely fuse the raw steel component onto the heavy vehicle chassis.
  • Permanent attachment method: Once welded into position, changing the orientation or location of the bracket requires heavy grinding and torch cutting.
  • Uncoated steel finish: Supplied as raw steel for weldability, meaning it requires priming and painting post-installation to prevent rust.
