If by biggest you are referring to weight capacity the highest rated trailer safety chain we have available is the Fulton Safety Chain # FCHA0070324. This heavy-duty chain features a 45,200 pound weight capacity and a 42 inch length. This is quite a bit more than you need for a 10,000 pound trailer.

If you are looking for the longest chains then we have a few options with a 72 inch length such as the Titan # TCTSCG30-772-04X2 that features a 5,000 pound capacity. When picking out safety chains you want to make sure that each chain has a break strength that meets or exceeds the weight of your trailer so this won't be your best option.

For your 10,000 pound trailer the Buyers Products # 337B03835SC will work well as it features a weight capacity of 10,000 pounds, a zinc-plated finish to resist corrosion, and is 35 inches in length which should be a good size. The clevis hook has an opening of 1-1/8 of an inch. This is a single chain so you will want to order a quantity of 2 for your trailer.

I have attached a short video review that you can check out along with a link that will take you to our complete selection of safety chains.
