G80 x 6mm Safety Chain Hook Set | CTA-061303
Australian trailer and caravan owners use tow hooks for convenience.
Available in Black, Blue and Orange
Bow shackles, D-shackles, and butterfly clips (or hammerlocks) are generally quite fiddly. Moreover, conditions like arthritis can make connecting and disconnecting the trailer chain seem like an impossible challenge.
Safety Chain Hooks make it far less complicated for you to attach and undo your caravan’s safety chains.
Moreover, opting for the Austlift™ brand of hooks means staying legal and safe.
G80 Hook Set ADR Compliance (Component Type Approval)
While there are many options for trailer hooks on the market, Couplemate™ only stocks Austlift™ safety chain hook sets because they have a Component Type Approval (CTA-061303).
As discussed in our CTA Technical Post, Couplemate™ strongly believes in the significance of a CTA on trailer and towing safety.
Vehicle or trailer parts with a CTA guarantee that the product (i.e. component):
- Has been tested to the relevant standards, and
- Meets the requirements of those relevant standards.
These two factors ensure that Australians buying hooks or shackles with a CTA receive a safe product every time.

Product Guidelines & Information
Do’s and Don’ts
DO:
- DO cross the safety chains under the trailer tongue to create a cradle in case of decoupling.
- DO ensure the hooks are rated to match or exceed the gross trailer weight.
- DO inspect the 6mm chain links and hooks for wear, stretch, or rust before every trip.
- DO attach the hooks directly to the designated mounting points on the tow bar.
DON’T:
- DON’T allow the safety chains to drag on the ground while driving.
- DON’T exceed the strict 2-tonne (2000kg) maximum towing weight capacity.
- DON’T twist or knot the chains to shorten them, as this severely reduces their breaking strength.
- DON’T use damaged, bent, or structurally modified hooks for any towing operations.
