Video Transcript for Review of CE Smith Trailer Safety Chains - Safety Chains - CES82QR

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the CE Smith 24-inch-long Safety Chains with the S-hooks. These have a 7,600 pound weight capacity. Now, these are required in most states, 'cause the safety chain acts as a backup connection if your trailer becomes disconnected from your tow vehicle. Basically, you'll attach this one end here of this zinc-coated steel chain to your trailer's coupler, and then you'll hook this S-hook to your hitch. If you notice on the S-hook, they use these integrated security spring clips to prevent accidental unhooking, and these chains are a zinc-plated steel.

They resist rust and corrosion. Now, this set here is perfect for trailers under 7,600 pound combined gross weight, which means the total of the trailer plus the carried load. We mentioned the chain length, 24 inches in length, and this is an 8/0 chain size, which means the length thickness is 5/16 of an inch, and on the S-hook, the inside width on this S-hook is 3/4 of an inch. But that should do it for a look at the CE Smith 24-inch-long Safety Chains with the S-hooks.
