13mm x 13.5t G80 Truck Safety Chain Holder

Product Overview

This heavy-duty safety chain holder is drop-forged from grade 80 (G80) alloy steel. It provides a secure, high-tensile connection point for 13mm transport and recovery chains. Designed specifically for trucks, trailers, and heavy towing rigs, it ensures compliance with strict road safety standards and delivers a 13.5-tonne breaking capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the 13.5t rating signify? This represents the maximum breaking load limit (minimum breaking force) engineered for safety margins, not the standard working load limit.
• Can this holder accept chains smaller than 13mm? While smaller chains may physically fit, this unit is specifically optimised and certified to secure 13mm G80 safety chains.
• Is this component weld-on or bolt-on? This specific model is a heavy-duty weld-on holder designed to be integrated directly into steel truck/trailer chassis.
• Does it come with a test certificate? Yes, each batch is proof-tested and comes with G80 compliance markings stamped directly onto the body.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Installation & Use

Do’s

• Do employ a certified structural welder to attach the holder to your trailer or truck chassis.
• Do inspect the chain holder for hairline cracks, severe pitting, or deformation before every trip.
• Do ensure that your safety chains are crossed underneath the trailer tongue when attaching them to the holders.
• Do verify that the rating of your chassis matches or exceeds the 13.5t breaking capacity of the holder.

Don’ts

• Don’t exceed the rated capacity of the holder under any towing or recovery circumstances.
• Don’t subject the chain holder to rapid impact loads or dynamic snatch forces beyond its design limits.
• Don’t grind down, modify, or heat-treat the G80 steel alloy body, as this compromises its structural integrity.
• Don’t use this holder if the stamped G80 markings become unreadable due to wear or corrosion.
