Video Transcript for Feature Review 30" Long Safety Chain with 7/16" S-Hook with Latch

Hi there, safety-conscious haulers. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at Titan Chain's single S hook safety chain. These are available in either a 30 or 36 inch length. We're showing off the 36 inch length today. This is gonna be a great replacement chain if your old one is damaged or corrosion got the best of it. Our other chain here that we had on here had a damaged link and we didn't feel comfortable driving around with anymore, so we went ahead and replaced it.

And we're likely gonna be replacing the other one here as well, so that way, we've got two chains that are going to be a match set that are brand new, that we know we can rely on. This chain comes with an S hook that's pre-attached to it, and I like it better than our old ones. Our old chains here had S hooks on them but you can see, it just kind of comes right off of there and could vibrate around, and somebody come over and pull it off of there real fast. Our S hooks included with our safety chains from Titan have a clip on them and that ensures that our chain can't just fall off of there. Nobody can come along and actually grab it, just pull it off.

You have to actually push on the release tab in order to get it off of there. And when you go to attach it, you just push it into place, and the lever will move back automatically by itself. But you can see, it's not gonna be able to just come off of there once we get it into place. At the other end of our chain, it's just bare links, so that way, we can choose how we wanna attach it to our trailer. Whether you wanna weld it to the trailer, or attach it with a nut and a bolt, or my personal favorite way to get it attached is with a quick link.

That way, we can just quickly attach our chain right to it. And with a quick link here, we can easily choose the amount of length that we need. Because I do like that we can choose the length here because depending on the vehicle you're hooking to, maybe you've got a couple of different draw bars that you use for different trailers. And depending on which draw bar you got up there, you might have a slightly longer, lower or higher draw bar. And if you need one or two extra links, you can give yourself that length if you, you've got some extra there.

Or you could take out a couple of links just like we've done here if we don't need quite all that length. Regardless of which length you get, the chain is gonna be rated for 5,000 pounds. It does come as a quantity of one, so I do recommend picking up two. That way, you'll have one for each side, so you can ensure that you've got proper supplemental attachment. The chain is a steel construction with a zinc plated coating on it and that's gonna prevent rust and corrosion from occurring. So, you can see here, our old one's already starting to rust here. And the other one actually gotten so bad that the link had broken and was starting to separate, so that's why we had replaced it. This is just gonna ensure that this chain here is not gonna succumb to the same damage as our old one here so it'll last much longer. We'll get more use of service out of this one than our old ones. When attaching your chains to your trailer and your vehicle, you wanna cross your chains. So, you can see here that I've taken the driver's side of the trailer and I've hooked it over to the passenger side safety chain attachment on the vehicle. I did vice versa with the other chain, coming from the passenger side of the trailer to the driver's side of the vehicle. And what this does is this creates a cradle here where the chains cross. So, in the event of a catastrophic disconnect, our coupler here would be supported by the cradle and that would keep it up off the pavement. And that completes our look at Titan Chain's safety chain with single S hook..
