Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables with S-Hooks

Hey neighbors, it's Dustin here at etrailer, and today I've got the CURT Coiled Safety Cables. The coiled design is nice because when not in use, you can see we're not dragging the ground here, but when you are ready to use it it's easy enough to stretch over and hook on to the safety chain loops of your hitch. Our braided cables have a nice nylon coating, which if you've ever worked with braided cables you know sometimes they can get metal splinters on 'em, and that's no fun on your fingers. So this is really good to have. Also here, our S-hooks have a gate on them to help keep them in place, and they are zinc coated to help reduce rust and corrosion over time. The overall length of the cables when fully stretched out is 42 inches, which is gonna be great for most trailer and truck combinations or whichever tow vehicle you happen to have.

But if you do find yourself coming up a little short, there are extensions available here at etrailer. One final thing to keep in mind when hooking up any sort of safety cables is you're gonna wanna, if you have the opportunity, connect the driver's side of your trailer to the passenger side on your vehicle and vice versa. What that's gonna do is create a cradle underneath. So in the event of a catastrophic disconnect, your trailer's tongue won't just slam to the ground, it'll be caught by that cradle and prevent any further damage. Now they don't come with an attachment point for your trailer side, so that's one thing to keep in mind when you're going to install them.

If you don't already have a D-link or possibly some bolts where your previous ones we're attached, you'll need to pick that hardware up. You can get that here at etrailer. We have plenty of D-links to choose from. One thing to keep in mind when choosing a D-link is you want to pick one that's rated as high or higher than your safety cables because the lowest rated component is always the number to go with. So, what you'll do is on our trailer here particularly, we've got a welded on bracket here that we've got our D-link on already, and we're able to just place our safety cables on there and tighten this down.

And with those D-links, after you get it hand-tight, I always recommend coming back with an adjustable wrench and giving it maybe a half turn or so, so it's nice and snug. Then our safety cables are installed, and they're ready to hook up. So whether you've got a new trailer that's in need of some safety cables or you've got some old rusty ones you wanna replace, the CURT Rated Safety Cables with S-hooks are gonna be you a great option for you.

  • Can Safety Cables be Used Instead of Safety Chains on Trailer
    Yes you can use safety cables in place of safety chains as long as they are rated for the weight of the trailer. Chains are typically a little easier to use in this application though since you can manipulate the length of them easier by twisting them but you can use a cable set like the part # C80151 if you wanted. These have a 5,000 lb capacity.
