Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Laclede Clevis Hook w/ Latch
Today we're going to taking a look at a clevis hook with a safety latch. This clevis hook attaches to a chain, and allows you to easily connect the chain to whatever it is that you need to connect to. It's going to feature a spring loaded safety latch mechanism, that keeps the unit from accidentally disconnecting. It's made from a forged steel construction, with a protective finish to keep it safe from rusting and corrosion. It's going to offer a working load limit of 5,400 pounds. This is a 3/8 inch hook, 3/8 inch is stamped right there. It's also a grade 43 hook.
That's stamped on there as well. The pin that connects through the chain, that's going to give us a diameter measurement of around 7/16 of an inch. Now, the thickness of the hook changes depending on the are. The tabs down here, when you measure the thickness of those, that's going to measure pretty close to 7/16 of an inch, 3/8 of an inch, right in that area. But you'll notice that it's a little bit more flat right here, and then at the tip, you know, it's a lot more narrow.
At the thickest point, which will be right here, so inside edge to outside edge, that thickness measures about 1 3/16 of an inch. Then the tip is going to be around 5/16 to 3/8 of an inch thick. When it comes to the opening that we have with that mechanism pulled back, we're looking at about 15/16 of an inch. The pin opening, so from tab to tab, that opening measures around 9/16 of an inch, and then you're going to have about 5/8 of space above the pin. It's a really nice design. Again, strong, durable construction.
It's made from that nice heavy duty forged steel with a protective finish to keep it safe from the elements. That's going to do it for today's look at clevis hook with the safety latch.

safety chains coming unhooked when I would back up these hooks have stopped that problem completely. Great quality. Exactly what I was looking for!!!

This product is exactly what I was told it would be. I will be using it in conjunction with a safety cable connecting the trailer to the boat along with the winch. Thanks for the awesome customer service! So knowledgeable.

clip in the pin is not detachable. That means that a tow rope with a loop in its end cannot be attached to this hook. I will have to replace the clip in the end of the pin with something else (thinking a long thin bolt) so that I can remove the pin when I need to attach the tow rope to the hook.

I bought these hooks because they have a safety clip. They are replacing the old ones on the safety chains on my trailer that are to small.

- Safety Chain Hook Replacement with a Larger Clevis Hook for a Class V Trailer HitchI have a clevis hook that may work with your 5,000 lb trailer. Take a look at part # 6495-401-04. This hook has a working load limit up to 5,400 lbs and the pin that connects through the chain is 7/16 of an inch in diameter. We have heavy-duty clevis hooks, but they have significantly higher weight capacities than you will need for your 10,000 lb trailer. The Curt Clevis Hook, # C81970, has a 40,000 lb weight capacity and the pin that connects through the chain is just over half of an...
view full answer... - Clevis Hook Recommendation to Fit Safety Chain Loops of 2017 Ford F-250The Clevis hook part # 6495-401-04 that you referenced is standard enough size that it would work well on the hitch of your 2017 Ford F-250. I attached a picture for you to check out that shows the dimensions of the opening. The post that fits through the links of the chain is 7/16 inch in diameter.

- Attaching Trailer Safety Chains to Large Chain Loops on 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Factory HitchThat 2015 Silverado hitch and its safety chains loops have caused more than a few headaches but I do have a solution that has worked for others. A clevis such as # 6495-401-04 won't work but what I have recommended before is to route some safety cables through each loop and secure the 2 ends together with quick links such as in kit # RM-910648-12. Then you can attach the safety chains from the trailer to the quick links. Wear would not be an issue since the cables are more or less just...
view full answer... - Safety Chain Hook Recommendation for a Hitch with Large Safety Chain HoopsDue to the thickness of the safety chain loops on your hitch your best option would be to go with a hook and keeper setup like the part # 1483-535-04. I attached a picture that shows the size of the opening on the hook. For just the hook you would want the part # 6495-401-04.

- Recommended Clevis Hook for a Winch and Safety ChainsI do have options for you but the Curt S-Hook with Wire Keeper part # C81820 is not going to be the best solution for your winch's cable/strap or safety chains. Instead, for the winch I recommend using a clevis hook like part # 6495-401-04 and for the safety chains I recommend using a clevis hook like part # 6495-301-04. The clevis hooks are a much better design for both your winch's cable/strap and safety chains. I have attached a review video of each clevis hook for you as well.
view full answer... - Comparing SWL And WLL For Clevis Hooks You will need to know what the diameter of the chains you have are and how much room you have in the link for a hook to be attached. It sounds like the 5/16 you mentioned is the diameter of the chain itself, and not the opening in the link. The Clevis hook, part # 6495-401-04 has a 7/16-inch diameter pin that goes through the opening in a chain link and has a working load limit of 5,400 lbs. The # 6495-301-04 hook also has a 7/16-inch pin, and has a working load limit of 3,900 lbs....

view full answer... - Recommended Safety Chain Clevis Hooks for 6,500 Pound Trailer I recommend taking a look at the Clevis Hook with Latch # 6495-401-04. This 3/8 inch clevis hook has a working load limit of 5,400 pounds, which will give you a combined capacity of 10,800 pounds when using two. The capacity refers to the overall weight of the trailer (or whatever it is being used to pull). This will work very nicely for your trailer to provide hooks for your existing safety chains. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product that you can also check out.

This clevis hook easily fit the safety chain holes on the hitch and allowed the retainer to snap closed. This clevis hook has a working load limit (WLL) of 5,400-lbs so a pair would offer enough capacity for all but the heaviest trailers.
