Today, we're taking a look at a Class 2 trailer Safety Chain.The Class 2 Safety Chain is rated for 5,000 pounds. The chain is made from carbon steel and is zinc plated to withstand corrosion.This is a 48" long chain that features the nice quick link connectors, one on each end, that close on a threaded link. So the offer a really nice, tight, secure safety chain connection to an anchor point.Now, if you unthread it all the way, this area right here, that gap, or that opening, is 7/16".Now, the chains are designed for towing only. These are not designed for lifting.The chain diameter is 9/32". Again, the chain length is 48".Inside the quick link, edge to edge, we have an opening measurement of 2 1/4 and then from this point here, right across we have 11/16 at the widest point and then actual diameter of the quick link is 5/16"; and with this chain, the maximum gross trailer weight capacity is up to 5,000 pounds.That's going to do it for today's look at the Class 2, 48" long trailer Safety Chain.

Required in most states, a safety chain acts as a backup if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Attach the chain to your trailer's tongue, and then connect the link to your tow vehicle. Zinc-coated steel resists corrosion.Exactly as advertised. Arrived promptly. Great communication - order confirmation, when shipped, expected arrival. Appropriate packaging. All as it should be - thanks!
Only 1 point - I almost ordered the wrong wheel size. The hole to adjacent hole distance is easy to get wrong if you try to eyeball centers- measuring edge to edge would be more reliable. But a little error here steers you to the wrong size. My existing wheel had a raised feature at the bolt circle diameter that I measured to get back on track.
Arrived exactly as described. Quick link connectors allow easy take-up of extra chain length and attaching to existing chains/welded-on-to-trailer-links a breeze. I used these longer chains to replace the original, shorter chains on my 12' utility trailer after I bought a new truck and the old chains couldn't reach the new truck.
Super easy to install.
