No matter how far the drive might be—down the street or across the state—using safety chains when towing is smart, safe, and required by law. Without safety chains attached, there is a serious risk of danger if the trailer becomes uncoupled from a 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 a 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 the vinyl coating. Being coated in 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 5,000 lbs. and measure a total length of 42".
In CURT's book, making safety a priority when towing is a must. CURT offers all the safety equipment needed for successful towing, from CURT's electrical components to the safety chains. The next time a vehicle needs to be hitched for an adventure, always bring it safely with CURT.
