Product Description
Connecting and disconnecting your caravan or trailer shouldn’t be a painful or time-consuming chore. Standard bow shackles, D-shackles, and butterfly clips are notoriously fiddly to use, especially in cold weather or for individuals managing conditions like arthritis. The Austlift™ Safety Chain Hook Set solves this problem completely, making it incredibly easy to attach and remove your caravan’s safety chains without compromising on security.
When it comes to towing safety, staying legal is just as important as staying secure. While the Australian market is flooded with unrated trailer hooks, Couplemate™ exclusively stocks genuine Austlift™ safety chain hook sets. These hooks carry a verified Component Type Approval (CTA-061305), guaranteeing that they have been rigorously tested to relevant Australian standards and meet all necessary legal requirements for road safety.
What’s Included in the Set:
- 2 x Heavy-Duty Eye Sling Hooks
- 2 x G80 Hammerlock Chain Connectors
- Complete Installation Instructions (included in packaging)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this hook set comply with Australian towing laws?
Yes. Austlift™ safety chain hook sets carry a Component Type Approval (CTA-061305), meaning they are fully compliant with ADR 62/02, AS3776-2015, and AS4177.4.
Will this set fit my 10mm safety chain?
No, this 8mm hook set does not fit 10mm galvanised safety chain or G80 chain. It is designed to fit 13mm safety chains and 3.5t galvanised chains.
Why should I choose a CTA-certified hook over standard shackles?
A Component Type Approval (CTA) guarantees that the product has been independently tested to pass strict Australian safety standards. Standard shackles can be fiddly and hard to connect, whereas these hooks offer quick, hassle-free attachment while remaining 100% road legal.
Is the towing capacity marked on the product?
Yes. For peace of mind and legal compliance, “TC 4000kg” is clearly embossed directly into the casting of both the hooks and the hammerlocks.
