Description

Truck Trailer Safety Chain Holder to suit 8t, 13.5t, 22t, 30t Vehicles

Truck trailer safety chain holders use a 4140 high tensile pin on vehicles that weigh over 3500 kg.

Installation Instructions:

• Weld the safety chain holder to the tow bar.
• Weld safety chain holders directly to the trailer chassis rail as close as possible to the coupling.
• Aluminium Trailers – weld the chain holder to a plate then bolt the chain holder to the trailer via 4 x high tensile bolts.

Testing 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.

• Every truck with a tow bar that tows a trailer over 3.5t must have a pair of safety chain holders attached.
• Mount the chain holders on either side and adjacent to the tow bar coupling.
• Furthermore, the attachment must withstand static forces that incur during towing and in particular, be resistant to cracks or breaks.
