About this product
The Beaver Trailer Safety Chain 8mm x Self Colour is the chain you run between a towed trailer and the tow vehicle as the backup connection. It carries a designated rating of 1.6t and suits trailers up to 3.5t, which makes this 8mm size the pick for heavier plant and tandem box trailers rather than light garden work. Link geometry runs 31mm on the F dimension, 43.5mm on R and 7.6mm on S, so it seats properly in matching shackles and D-rings.
Self colour means no coating, so keep an eye on it and give it a wipe of oil if the trailer lives outside. Weight works out at 93.4m per 100kg, handy when you are sizing up what the drawbar has to carry. It is designed in accordance with AS/NZS 4177.4. Safety chain only, never use it for lifting.
