13mm X 13.5T Truck Trailer Tow Bar Safety Chain Holder Ð Pair

$169.00

Truck trailer safety holders use 4140 high tensile pins only on vehicles that weigh over 3500 kg. These vehicles use Herc Alloy chains. National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual

The Herc alloy safety chain holder is an innovative solution to prevent the safety chain from dragging when attached to the towbar.

8t Military Grade Truck Trailer Safety

INSTALLATION:

  • 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.
  • The holder may also be welded to a plate which is affixed to the trailer via 4 x high tensile bolts. Example, in the case of aluminium trailers.

Testing Safety Chain Holders

Road safety starts with product safety and product testing.

Rigorous product testing is undertaken before the product is passed for the consumer to purchase.

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

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

  • 8t x 10mm Herc Alloy Safety Chain Holder.
  • 13.5t x 13mm Herc Alloy Safety Chain Holder.
  • 22t x 16mm Herc Alloy Safety Chain Holder.
  • 30t x 20mm Herc Alloy Safety Chain Holder.

Further, towbar safety chain holders differ to trailer mounted safety chain holders. Here is why:

  • Firstly, the lynchpin to enables the pin to be removed and re-attached from the holder located on the towbar.
  • Secondly, the trailer safety chain holder uses a split pin which is removed via the use of a tool.

Finally, the Breakaway switch lanyard requires adjustment upon installation, alternatively, the lanyard requires checking after replacement.

Bought a pair of Quick Fist mounts for my roof rack to attach a shovel for when we go offroading/beach driving. Found Trek to be the cheapest around, also super fast express postage. Very happy with the service and product I received. Will definitely be back for other items. Cheers guys

Awesome shop, great range and fantastic service by a very helpful and patient staff member. (I made many changes and they weren’t annoyed like you get from some places)
I highly recommend these guys for off-road and trailer parts

Had a hidden winch mount and winch fitted to my Amarok. After dropping the car off I received a phone call to say this would not fit with the recovery points I had allready fitted, a bit dissapointed I told them to go ahead and remove the recovery points to fit the winch. When I arrived to pick the car up at about 17.15 (they waited for me after closing because I was running late), the first thing I noticed was that the recovery points and winch had been fitted. The technician went out of his way to make it all fit after all with a bit of handywork (cursing me under his breath I'm sure). Very friendly service, great people. I will definitely be back for the next upgrade!
