Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Buyers Products Weld-On Safety Chain Loops. So these are gonna be a weld-on product. And the nice thing about these, what sets it apart from all the others is just the fact that we're gonna be able to remove this little clevis pin right here. So, if we want to replace a chain or maybe we just wanna install it and then paint it to match our trailer, all we gotta do is just get a little tool in there, might be able to do with your hands so you can pull this out. It would be a lot easier with the tool, but you can pull this little pin out, and remove your chains really, really easily. So, a lot of the other ones that are weld-on: One, you're gonna have to get the chain in there, and then you're gonna have to weld it on.
So, it's just a little bit more of a hassle to install. And then once it's on there, and we wanna paint it to match our trailer, the chains are gonna get a little painted too. So, this is gonna be a great way to kind of just make it a little bit easier on yourself. You can install it without the chains on there, and you can paint it, then you can put your chains on. So if you wind that, switches out your chains, for whatever reason, it's gonna be the easiest way to do that.
If you're gonna go with this set up, just make sure you have a 5/16 inch chain, and then whatever length that you have. We do have a lot of different chains on our website. So just go ahead and grab that. The clevis pin is gonna be zinc coated, so it's not gonna rust away. So even if you don't end up painting it, which you could do whatever, it's not gonna rust away even if you don't.
It is made of forged steel, the whole entire little retainer, and this is gonna be pretty much ready to paint after you weld it on. Just make sure whenever you are doing welds, that you have somebody who knows what they're doing to get these things installed. As far as dimensions go, that's gonna be about four inches in length and depending on what kind of angle you go with, it's going to stick out a little bit lower than your tongue, depending on what size tubing you use. So that's just gonna be variable depending on how you set it up. But for this one in particular, it's only adding about two inches from the bottom of our tube here.
What the thickest part, without the clevis pin from outside to outside is about an inch and a half. And then on the inside, it's about three quarters of an inch. I would definitely put this on the heavier duty side when it comes to safety chain retainers. And the best thing about this is, we're really not gonna have to use much energy at all, to swap out our chains. So, if you are doing that quite often, or you're breaking chains, these are gonna be the ones you want to go with. And that'll do it for a look at the Buyers Products Safety Chain Retainers..

Order for bunk board carpet and weld on safety chain mounts came fast with in 3 days of Oder being made on Saturday.
I think these weld on safety chain retainers are great. I'm not a fan of just welding chains on but I know that's the way some do it. This is a clean and more finished way of attracting safety chains. With the benefit of being able to easily replace or adjust chain length. Would recomend and will buy again. Big fan of etrailer!
Etrailer always comes through with the parts I need..
Great Product.
THIS IS A GOOD PRODUCT FOR OUR JOB.
Excellent service, very fast and great tracking
Parts are great , highly recommend
Great item !!! This item is a bargain for what it is and easy to weld on.
These safety chain retainers are like the ones I have on a Big Tex Trailer, but I have to cut them off because they were welded to the bottom of the hitch. They are supposed to be welded to the side so if the trailer comes unhooked the retainers and chains won't get ground off by the road surfacing. I am not sure if I can salvage the ones on the trailer, so I got these in case I ruin the others.
These are a great way to upgrade or replace your trailers safety chains. These weld on your trailer. Be honest with yourself about your skills, this is a critical component, if you can't weld, hire someone who can.
Products I ordered were fine quality wise,but there was no packing material and the safety chains and these mounts beat my lights up and destroyed the box
Basic rough casting. Used a flap sanding wheel to clean and flatten them to fit the trailer well. Should be very strong and make future chain replacements a breeze.
Whole installation took maybe 30 mins even with my excessive prep.
Installed on a 1996 F250. The fit was good. This is a good quality, heavy duty hitch.
I received my order quickly and item 3375471001 was just as described. Cant wait to use these on my new project. Thanks etrailer!
Great product matched the ones on my big Tex trailer.
I am impressed with ease for attaching the safety cables and will have more to comment on after they are welded on.
product is exactly what we needed.
Good price
Great service and quality products delivered on time and as expected… Could not ask for more
Awesome, makes it nice to be able to swap out your safety chains if one gets dragged and ruined.
I wish I would have know about these along time ago. Definitely a better way tan bolting or welding the chains to the trailer and the strength of the chain is maintained
These things are THICK & sturdy. Much more robust than they appear in the picture. No doubt I could hang my trailer from them. LOL
