What Is The Weight Capacity Of The Brophy Safety Chain Mounting Bracket # MB58?
Question:
What is the weight capacity of this weld on chain clip? Can it be used with a 1/2inch diameter safety chain? I would be using a Fulton Safety Chain Part# FCHA0070324.

Expert Reply:
The Brophy Safety Chain Mounting Bracket # MB58 does not have a specific weight capacity since the strength is going to be more reliant on the weld and material it is welded to rather than the part itself. I can tell you this is 5/8" diameter mild steel which is often thicker than the steel it is welded to. Looking at most mild steels in this size they typically have a sheer strength around 40,000lbs.
It can be used for attaching a pair of the Fulton Safety Chain with 1/2" Clevis Hook # FCHA0070324 to your trailer.
