Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to these Laclede safety chains. Let's check 'em out. So in total, everything is going to be 48 inches long. They attach on our trailer just right up here to this bolt on the coupler. And then on the end, we've got our seven 16th as hooks.
That will just latch onto your safety chain, loops like this and make sure that in the case of an emergency, your trailer isn't going down the road on its own. It'll keep it attached right here. Now these are gonna be a quarter inch diameter chain with a 5,000 pound break strength. So for our small trailer that we've got these hooked up to right now, that's gonna be more than enough. And then getting these installed is super easy.
Obviously it's going to differ a bit depending on the trailer, you're putting it on, but we'll show you how we got them on this trailer. Now the first step of the installation is gonna actually be for us replacing the old chains. So we're gonna get these removed. Now ours aren't necessarily in bad shape, but we're just kind of doing this for demonstration purposes. And on our trailer we'll want to remove this front bolt on the coupler, because our safety chains are actually fed through that.
So as I pull this bolt out, you'll see them fall just like that. And then all we have to do is take our new chains. I'm gonna kind of hold them up and find where the middle roughly is. Right there looks pretty good. So this is the link I'm gonna feed that bolt back through.
So I'll just kind of pop it up into there, hold it in place and feed that bolt back through, nice and secure. And then just run this nut down on the other side and we're all done. Then we're free to hook up to our vehicle and hit the road. And that'll do it for a look at these Laclede safety chains. Thanks for watching..
