Video Transcript for Laclede Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook Review
What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we are gonna be checking out these safety chains from Laclede. We're going to use this to replace our old, kind of rusted up chains, that don't have a guard on them anymore. So now with that replaced, it's gonna be easy to hook them up and get set up to go whenever we need to tow our trailer. Let's check it out. The chain is going to be 35 inches long and also in the inside, it's going to be three eighths of a diameter inside the link here on the chain.
And then coming up here to the hook it's gonna be the same thing, three eighths diameter of the hook. Chain's also going to have a weight capacity of 5,400 pounds and then it's got a zinc coating here on the outside to protect the chain. Now it's not weather proof, but it is definitely gonna help you against rust and corrosion. So it's really easy to get this installed. We went ahead and removed our old one, that we're gonna replace, from the side of our trailer.
And then you just take the shackle, add the chain to it, line up those holes here on the side, drop our clevis pin through. Then at the bottom line that up, and then put our pin back in here at the bottom. And ours is a little rusty. I can push it in a little bit by my thumb there. And then I'll get the hammer just to go ahead and make sure it goes all the way through.
You don't have to hit it hard, just a couple of taps, to see more of the other pin on the other side. Then you can bend those taps out and it's good. Overall, I think it's gonna be a good replacement chain for your trailer. Especially if you got an old rusty one like this. This is gonna be a little bit of an upgrade and it gives you that guard so it's easy when you go to put that safety chain in place.
It locks in, and you're good to go, way quicker. Well, I think that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..

Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (36 Customer Reviews)

Received just fine. Hooked it up to the truck hitch with some very minor filing on the Ford class v hitch where the holes were drilled. Now to give it a try pulling something. (2016 DRW Ford F-350 with Lance 975 Truck Camper)

These safety chains were the perfect fit for my Kachina 25’ Mid Cabin open Bow boat trailer. I’am using these to replace the safety cables that were stock when these trailers were built.
by: Chris07/01/2020
Used these as replacements on a 3600lb boat trailer. I wanted something stronger than the tiny single chain it had and upsized to these. Great chain. No rust anywhere after a year (fresh water but stored outside. Only downside is hook is thick and probably would jam into the small holes in my hitch. If you have large (bigger than 1 1/4) holes in your hitch you should be good. I welded on the 3/8 chain retainers so replacement in the future would be easier but I think these will last for years. With the retainers and the large chain and hooks I don't worry about bending the hooks if the coupler fails. Which happened on a different trailer once.
I'd definitely buy these again.
by: Thomas C.09/03/2015
These are very strong replacements for my trailer. In fact they are much heavier duty than I needed. I purchased them primarily for the self latching hooks.

Perfectly. Fit was exact and does exactly what I need.

Trailer hitch (adjustable height) works great and the new safety chains are high quality. Thanks guys!
by: Greg 06/25/2020
Good looking chain. Plating seems to be done well. Links welded completely, not like some cheaper quality safety chains. Length was great for use with Gen-y torsion hitches.
by: Alan 09/17/2021
My safety chains were on back order but e-trailer kept me updated during the wait. Excellent customer service. These particular safety chains are perfect for my needs and best of all they are made in USA.
by: Kris Anderson01/29/2017
Good hefty 3/8" chain and hook. For use on our sailboat trailer. Hooks are pretty good size, so make sure you have the room to slide them in at your receiver.
by: Charlie W07/12/2020
No complaints. I Purchased these trailer chains because they are made here in the USA. Heavy duty and after a year, they still look brand new. If you want the best, get these!
by: James08/03/2017
Nice heavy duty chain used as a safety chain as a redundant restraint on the bow to trailer strap. Get 'em fast from etrailer.com

Great way to improve upon an inadequate factory safety chain system on my enclosed trailer.
by: John04/17/2022
Super nice chain - Watch out for the slip hook though, as it is sturdy, but large (almost 6" long and 4" wide).

See what our Experts say about this Laclede Chain Trailer Safety Chains
- Can Safety Chains On 36 Ft Keystone Outback Camper Be Extended Using Quick LinksYou can add links to your existing safety chains. My recommendation is to make sure the links you add are correctly installed, and have sufficient strength. Many of the quick links we offer may not have the weight capacity you are looking for on your 36 ft Keystone Outback Camper. If you decide to replace your existing safety chains I recommend the Laclede 35 inch Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, part # 1483-535-04, that you mentioned. Two of these chains are rated for 10,800...
view full answer... - Safety Chain Capacity and Requirements for a 6-Ton Triple Axle TrailerThe highest rated safety chains we carry at this time are the 35 inch Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs., item # 1483-535-04, that you mentioned. Two of these chains are rated for 10,800 pounds working load limit and 32,400 (16,200 lbs each) breaking strength, and should be sufficient for your towing limit of 10,000 lbs. Safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of each chain, not the working load limit of the chain, should be equal to or exceed the GVWR...
view full answer... - Is 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook # 1483-535-04 Made in the USAYes, the chain and the clevis of the part # 1483-535-04 is made in the USA. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Are 1/4 Inch Grade 70 Safety Chains Sufficient For a 10,000LB Trailer? Yes, trailers will have 2 safety chains which helps to keep the trailer centered. For 1/4" grade 70 chain the standard is for it to have a working load limit of 3,150lbs. Since the WLL is 1/3 of the break strength the chains you have are sufficient as your 10,000lb trailer does not exceed the 18,900lb break strength of the 2 separate chains.
view full answer... - How to Determine Safety Chain Weight CapacityThe safety chains need to exceed the loaded weight of the trailer not the axle capacity. If the loaded weight of your trailer is significantly under 3500 lbs then a 3500 lb safety chain is fine. I have attached a link to all of the safety chains that we carry for your reference.
view full answer... - What is the Opening Size of Clevis Hook on Safety Chain with Clevis Slip HookI went out to the warehouse and pulled Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook # 1483-535-04. The opening at the widest point of the hook is 1-5/8 inches and at the tallest point is 2-1/2 inches. I have included a picture showing the measurements. This is likely going to work well on your 2013 Ford F-150.

- Can One Long Safety Chain be Safely Cut in Half to Make 2 Safety ChainsThat should work provided that in the process of shortening the chain to make 2 chains and when bending or flexing you do not stress the metal. If the metal is heated up or you see stress marks in the metal, fractures or discolored areas these are signs that the metal is fatigued and should not be used for this application. Of course the ideal solution is to just go ahead and use a new chain such as 2 of # 1483-535-04. Then you know you will have nothing to worry about. And of course,...
view full answer... - Where is Length Measured on 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs # 1483-535-04The 35 inch length of the 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs # 1483-535-04 that you referenced is from the end of the chain to the center of the hook on the other end. So basically it's 35 inches of usable chain. See the attached picture and review video link for more info. We've found that this chain works really well on full size trucks like your 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500.

- How Big is the Opening in the Chain Links for 5,400 Pound Safety Chains 1483-535-04I can't tell you the approximate inside length but I can tell you the EXACT inside length of the chain links on Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook # 1483-535-04. The opening is 1.27 inches long by 0.60 inches wide.
view full answer... - Proper Safety Chain Recommendation for 8,100 GVWR TrailerThe 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook # 1483-535-04 has a 5,400 lb capacity. If you used two of these you would have a combined capacity of 10,800 lbs. If you made one chain out of two of these then the capacity would only be 5,400 lbs. Two of these should provide you with more than enough safety chain capacity.
view full answer... - Where Is the 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs. MadeThe 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs. part # 1483-535-04 I do show as being made/manufacturer in the USA which would apply to both the chain and hook. That said, it does not look like there are any origin markings on the hook.
view full answer... - Is the 35" Long Safety Chain # 1483-535-04 Corrosion ResistantYes, the safety chains part # 1483-535-04 are zinc coated to prevent corrosion.
view full answer... - What Is Laclede Safety Chain With Clevis Slip Hook # 1483-535-04 Made Of I called my contact at Laclede about the Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, part # 1483-535-04. They told me that the chain is made of galvanized, forged steel.
view full answer... - Can the Laclede Chain Safety Chains # 1483-535-04 be Used on a Boat TrailerYou will easily be able to use the Laclede Chain Safety Chains # 1483-535-04 that you mentioned on a boat trailer. The price and quantity are for a single chain. Each USA-made chain has a 5,400 lb capacity.
view full answer... - Determining Best Safety Chain Replacement for Keystone TrailerThe length of chains you will need for your trailer will really depend on your particular setup. For example if the safety chain loops on your tow vehicle are spaced far apart, then you will want to make sure you have a bit more slack for making tight turns. Also keep in mind that you will need enough length to criss-cross them under the coupler. The easiest solution will be to simply take a quick measurement on your existing safety chains and go with a matching length for a replacement....
view full answer... - USA Made Safety Chain for Trailer RecommendationThe Laclede safety chains part # 1483-535-04 are made in the USA and have a 5,400 lb capacity per chain. These also have a clevis style hook. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
view full answer... - How Are Safety Chains RatedSafety chains come in a variety of classes: Class I (2,000 pounds gross trailer weight or GTW), Class II (3500 pounds GTW), Class III (5,000 pounds GTW), etc. It is important that the capacity of the chains exceed your GTW, the weight of the loaded trailer. I think the 5,400 pounds you are referring to is the chain's Working Load Limit, which is about 1/3 of a chain's break strength. Safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of each chain should be equal to or exceed...
view full answer... - Safety Chains that can Accommodate 3/8" BoltThe chain links on safety chain # 1483-535-04 are 3/8 of an inch in diameter. This chain has a 5,400 lbs. Working Load Limit. For a quick link use # 6590-044-04. Its working load limit is 2,200 pounds. Since the safety chain is rated higher using a 3/8 inch quick link will reduce the capacity.
view full answer... - How to Choose Correct Capacity for Trailer Safety Chains I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH chain, not the working load limit (WLL), should be equal to or exceed the gross trailer weight.A 5,000 pound trailer needs safety chains that each have a break strength of at least 5,000 pounds. A chain's working load limit comes more into play...
view full answer... - Safety Chain Recommendation that Includes a KeeperI believe I have a solution for you, but the 27 inch Long Safety Cable # 2118-605-04 that you referenced does not have a keeper. Check out the 35 inch Safety Cable # 1483-535-04. This is a slightly longer chain, with a slightly higher capacity that does have a keeper. Overall its a better safety chain.
view full answer... - Trailer Safety Chain and Quick Link Recommendation for TrailerThe quick link part # C82932 that you referenced has a 16.5k capacity as it's max capacity and a 3,300 working load limit. The working load limit would be if the chains was to see that capacity at all times. For a set of chains then to go with that you could use the part # 1483-535-04. These have a 5,400 lb working load limit.
view full answer... - What is the Preferred Method of Connecting Safety Chains from a Trailer to a Trailer HitchProvided that you have safety chains rated as high or higher than the hitch capacity and they are securely connected to the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch, how you route them is not really an issue. You just do not want them to bind up (get wrapped around anything when making turns) as that could cause damage. So what most people do is have some sort of loop, like # C82932, connected to the trailer and then have the chains connected to it. The chains are then connected straight...
view full answer... - Recommended Safety Chain Extension For 5/16 Inch ChainsTo extend your chains, I recommend the 40" Vinyl Coated Safety Cables with Clevis Hook (Qty. 2) by Dutton-Lainson, 6,500 lbs. # DL20119. They require 5/8 inch diameter bolts, flat washers and locknuts to mount. Another option is to use the 35" Long Safety Chain with Clevis Slip Hook, 5,400 lbs. # 1483-535-04 and can be installed using the same hardware listed above.
view full answer... - Are Curt Safety Chains Reliable And Safe For Use On A Trailer?You are correct that the Curt safety chains like the Curt Safety Chains with Latching Hooks # C19749 are made over seas, but that does not mean they are not still a quality part. Quite a few manufacturers of chains actually use products from over seas. With that said the Curt # C19749 still meets the expectations of what you expect from a Curt products and I would not be hesitate to use them on a trailer. You will want to make sure that the chains meet or exceed the GVWR of your trailer....
