Required in most states, a safety chain acts as a backup if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Attach the chain to your trailer's tongue, and then connect the S-hook to your tow vehicle. Zinc-coated steel resists corrosion.

Hi there, safety-conscious haulers. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at Titan Chain's single S hook safety chain. These are available in either a 30 or 36 inch length. We're showing off the 36 inch length today. This is gonna be a great replacement chain if your old one is damaged or corrosion got the best of it. Our other chain here that we had on here had a damaged link and we didn't feel comfortable driving around with anymore, so we went ahead and replaced it.
And we're likely gonna be replacing the other one here as well, so that way, we've got two chains that are going to be a match set that are brand new, that we know we can rely on. This chain comes with an S hook that's pre-attached to it, and I like it better than our old ones. Our old chains here had S hooks on them but you can see, it just kind of comes right off of there and could vibrate around, and somebody come over and pull it off of there real fast. Our S hooks included with our safety chains from Titan have a clip on them and that ensures that our chain can't just fall off of there. Nobody can come along and actually grab it, just pull it off.
You have to actually push on the release tab in order to get it off of there. And when you go to attach it, you just push it into place, and the lever will move back automatically by itself. But you can see, it's not gonna be able to just come off of there once we get it into place. At the other end of our chain, it's just bare links, so that way, we can choose how we wanna attach it to our trailer. Whether you wanna weld it to the trailer, or attach it with a nut and a bolt, or my personal favorite way to get it attached is with a quick link.
That way, we can just quickly attach our chain right to it. And with a quick link here, we can easily choose the amount of length that we need. Because I do like that we can choose the length here because depending on the vehicle you're hooking to, maybe you've got a couple of different draw bars that you use for different trailers. And depending on which draw bar you got up there, you might have a slightly longer, lower or higher draw bar. And if you need one or two extra links, you can give yourself that length if you, you've got some extra there.
Or you could take out a couple of links just like we've done here if we don't need quite all that length. Regardless of which length you get, the chain is gonna be rated for 5,000 pounds. It does come as a quantity of one, so I do recommend picking up two. That way, you'll have one for each side, so you can ensure that you've got proper supplemental attachment. The chain is a steel construction with a zinc plated coating on it and that's gonna prevent rust and corrosion from occurring. So, you can see here, our old one's already starting to rust here. And the other one actually gotten so bad that the link had broken and was starting to separate, so that's why we had replaced it. This is just gonna ensure that this chain here is not gonna succumb to the same damage as our old one here so it'll last much longer. We'll get more use of service out of this one than our old ones. When attaching your chains to your trailer and your vehicle, you wanna cross your chains. So, you can see here that I've taken the driver's side of the trailer and I've hooked it over to the passenger side safety chain attachment on the vehicle. I did vice versa with the other chain, coming from the passenger side of the trailer to the driver's side of the vehicle. And what this does is this creates a cradle here where the chains cross. So, in the event of a catastrophic disconnect, our coupler here would be supported by the cradle and that would keep it up off the pavement. And that completes our look at Titan Chain's safety chain with single S hook..

The products have always been as described and the shipping was fast. Highly recommend.
Dianna and George were very helpful and hooked me up with the best item and fast shipping. A+
These chains have worked so far. They are holding up good compared to other chains I have used that are similar in design.
quick shipping, excellent inventory
Solid chains. Very nice clips on the hook link. More than I needed but would rather have too much than not enough.
These chains replaced safety cables, which I really did not like, due to having to fight the tangling coils all the time when hooking or unhooking the trailer. They're exactly as described, and should work well for their intended purpose. I had to use a tapered pin and small sledge hammer to spread the end link that bolts to the trailer, since it's secured to the trailer tongue with a 1/2" bolt. The bolt wouldn't go through the link so I had to spread the link to make it fit. Actually, I expected that to happen, so it was no big deal. Etrailer shipped promptly. I very satisfied with the product and the shopping experience with etrailer.
The chains are rated for 5K pounds and although by trailer is 3.5K max I really like having these chains on it. These replace the coil cables that came with my trailer. When my trailer tongue popped off while my son was pulling the trailer with his truck the cables snapped off at the tongue like wet confetti. Very easy to install right where the cables attached. These chains may be a little too long, but I can always cut a link or two out of them if I feel the need and find some heavy duty bolt cutters. The chain and hook seem very heavy duty. We shall see how the hook holds up to rust that we are plagued with here in the Berkshires.

These chains are still like new after a year of use. They are heavy duty and havent rusted. They are a little long for my application, but couldnt find any just the right size. To compensate I just twist them before hooking them so they dont drag the ground.
Easy hook up and works as expected, solid chain and doesn't rust
Took a little longer that I thought but it is what I wanted , they emailed with a sub but wasn’t what I needed
I ordered this to replace my original travel trailer chains damaged due in larger part to operator error resulting in sever damage to the trailer's original chains. The originals were too long as well which may have contributed to the damage suffered. In any case the replacement chains were a perfect length and the s hooks latch onto the tow vehicle with easy. Very pleased with the product.
I had previously purchased the Atwood coupler #AT80072, but it didn’t seem to go far enough back on the a-frame and I didn’t feel comfortable with that. This Demco model is nearly identical in size to the old Hadco engineering coupler that came on my 1964 trailer. I thought that this 10000 lb coupler would be overkill, but I’m happy that it will weld on exactly like the original.
Bought these safety chains as replacement for the questionable safety cable my trailer came with. Sturdy, doesn't rust and the latch is a must have IMO.
I'm fixing up an old "canned ham" travel trailer that had one crudely attached safety chain. I bolted a couple of these to the trailer frame just behind the coupler. They are exactly what I was looking for.
Look good. Easy to weld on my trailer. Hooks are easy to use.
Perfect replacement for my existing safety chains!
Safety chains? As long as the grading is correct I see no issues
Great product. My second set for use on tow dolly. Fast and easy order and delivery
First of all the packaging was stellar. May not sound like much but says alot about the culture of the company. Have not installed the product yet so can’t attest to the functionality however the quality is top knotch. Will definitely make future purchases.
Needed a longer safety chain and these did the trick.
Works as advertised
Received the products within a week and just what I expected. Great descriptive videos on application. Thank you!
Always fast courteous service. Never never had a product issue with the trailer. Five stars excellent
