Product description

No matter how far you are planning to drive -- down the street or across the state -- using safety chains when you tow is smart, safe and required by law. Without safety chains attached, there is a serious risk of danger if your trailer becomes uncoupled from your trailer hitch. Play it safe with safety chains, and play it even safer with safety chains from CURT. CURT has a few different options when it comes to securing your trailer. An alternative to traditional safety chains is CURT safety cables. Safety cables are a medium-duty safety option and are very effective for most standard trailers. CURT safety cables are coiled so they do not drag on the ground, and they are fitted with safety latches, instead of S-hooks, to prevent them from becoming unhooked even over bumps and rough roads. One unique feature of CURT safety cables is their vinyl coating. Being coated in a vinyl skin keeps these cables well protected from rust, reduces the amount of noise they make and makes them easier to handle. These particular safety cables offer a minimum break force of 7,500 lbs. and measure a total length of 42".In our book, making safety a priority when you tow is a must. We offer all the safety equipment needed for successful towing, from our electrical components to our safety chains. The next time you hitch up for an adventure, always Bring It safely with CURT.

• DEPENDABLE SAFETY. These trailer safety cables are designed to connect from your trailer to your vehicle to help resist complete vehicle-trailer separation in the event of a disconnection while towing
• EASY TO HANDLE. These safety cables come with a vinyl coating that protects them against the elements and makes them more comfortable to handle and use. When connecting safety cables for towing, two cables should be used
• SUPERIOR DURABILITY. These trailer safety cables are constructed from 3/8-inch diameter, high-strength steel cable and are protected with a vinyl coating to resist rust and corrosion in spite of the outdoor elements
• HIGH-STRENGTH. These trailer cables have a minimum break force of 7,500 lbs. (two trailer safety chains or cables advised; each safety cable must meet or exceed the gross trailer weight)
• READY TO COUPLE. For safe, secure coupling to the vehicle, these 44-inch long trailer cables come with two pre-attached safety chain hooks. The 17/32-inch snap hooks feature a spring-loaded lever for enhanced security

User questions & answers

Question:	What size is the actual chain link
Answer:	The length shown on the packaging for both items is 40 inches. This certainly is the length when the cables are fully extended, and the coiling is eliminated. The coils provide a wonderfully taut position for the cables, eliminating the slack and excess material which is present with other devices.
Question:	Is this one chain as shown in the picture
Answer:	People like to exaggerate when it helps make them money. Overall good product , cables pretty rigid but feels like they would keep it attached to the vehicle under extreme conditions
Question:	Is this for 1 chain or
Answer:	Features a minimum break force of 7,500 lbs. From the web site, I say consult Curt directly.
Question:	Can this be bolted in middle and used as 2 chains or 2 seperate chains are needed? Using it for 18ft boat trailer
Answer:	The details say "steel", but it also says "rust resistant". They almost certainly dipped the chain into a solution of molten zinc.

User questions & answers

Question:	What size are these hooks
Answer:	Yes this is one chain. I just cut it in half to use as chains for my trailer. It's long enough to do so!
Question:	Is this coated to prevent rust or corrosion
Answer:	This is 1 continuous chain with 2 hooks.I installed mine without breaking the chain. No need to buy 2.
Question:	Where/how do you mount the chains on a goose neck hitch
Answer:	No reason why you couldn't bolt in middle. Just remember that would be the only weak point so the bolt and it's anchor point would need to be as big as (diameter) or bigger than the the chain. The preferable method would be to cut the chain at the halfway point link (use hack saw or grinder cut-off wheel) then anchor the 2 separate links at individual points on the trailer frame by welding or bolting (using the same sizing as mentioned earlier). Remember this is an important safety feature in case of separation from ball hitch. Also you haven't stated the weight of your boat and trailer so better to go big rather than go home in a wreck.
Question:	HOW LONG
Answer:	My trailer has the CURT safety cables shown above. The best part is the coiled cable. They do not drag on the ground, they adjust when turning, they are light, They are great.
