Are Safety Chains Required with Andersen Ultimate # AM3200
Question:
Do I need safety chains with this hitch?
asked by: Art Y
Expert Reply:
It's kind of a gray area whether safety chains are required with the # AM3200 but I would say it's a smart idea either way. The safety chains for # AM3200 are # RM3230. The two eyelet bolts included with the safety chains will replace the king pin coupler bolts that ship with the Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection. The other ends with the hooks will need to attach to the 5th wheel rails using safety chain loops such as # C16000.
