Today on our trailer we're going to be installing the Fulton Safety Chains with Clevis Hook. These are rated at 18,800 pounds and are 42" long, part number is FCHA0050324. Our installation's going to be really simple, we're just going to remove our existing safety chain here and bring in our new Fulton Chain and using the same hardware it's going to be a nice direct replacement. You can see there's a considerable difference between the old chain and the new chain. This new chain, this is a grade 70 chain so it's going to have a nice strong feel to it, they're 5/16" links. As you can see they got a nice corrosion resistant finish to them because of course they're always going to be outside, that's where our trailers usually live so it would be susceptible to those elements. Also going to have a nice large clevis hook with keeper on them so the time comes we can easily slide up to the back of our truck, hook them up and there will be a nice throat there to fit several different styles of safety chain connection points.
We'll just go onto the other side there, repeat that same process and our job here will be done. With everything torqued down that's going to complete today's installation of the Fulton Safety Chains with Clevis Hooks, part number FCHA0050324.

Still looking great. I purchased these to go with the quick links I ordered from etrailer so I could remove the safety chains from my trailer when not using it after hearing of several trailers being stolen by only hooking up the safety chains
Towed a sailboat (6000 lbs) on trailer (~1500 lbs) from Missouri to Colorado with a 1/2 Ton chevy pickup. Did great, no sway, no issues whatsoever. Installation was straightforward and done in the boat yard with limited tools without any trouble at all. We didn't put the boat on the trailer and had no opportunity to adjust the weight distribution. No problems at all. I definitely can recommend this hitch setup.
Good prices, good service and quality p roduct.
The safety chain bracket was exactly what I expected. My gooseneck trailer had only one safety chain when I purchased it used, and the safety chain links had been welded to the trailer. I sought out something to replace it with knowing that having only 1 safety chain was potentially not legal and that welding the chain links weakens them. I ended up ordering 2 of these brackets and 2 safety chains (FCHA0050324) from etrailer and they worked well together. The bracket is round so I ground a flat spot on it where it meets the trailer to make it easier to keep in position while welding it.
After one year item FCHA0050324 Safety chains (I have 2 of them) with clevis hooks are as good as they were new. Very satisfied. I use the chains with my 40' fifth wheel trailer which uses a gooseneck adaptor & requires safety chains.
Product was as described. Swapping out original 1/4" (still good condition and will be reused on another trailer build) chains after upping my toy haulers aging springs to carry some quads and a 4 seater UTV and "lift" slighty to avoid continuing to scrape off plumbing. Part is very sturdy / made of good quality (Gr 70 chain) and the hooks are larger than OG pieces and once installed will fit on my Curt hitch rings better. Hopefully! I just received the product last night so these aren't installed yet. However, all the reviews made these chains seem so so much larger than they really are. This is my 2nd or so purchase from etrailer and just with customer service alone I will MOST definitely be purchasing again. As well as recommended etrailer to friends. Josh D
All the products I have purchased from Etrailer have been good. Quailty, durable products, fast shipping and easy transactions. Etrailer.com has pretty much any product you need for your trailers. Thank you Etrailer!
The chains are just as advertised and fit the bill exactly for my Gooseneck cattle trailer. The price was good and the order process was very easy. Delivery was quicker than I expected since i took the cheapest option.
These safety chains are more than adequate for controlling my dual tandem gooseneck trailer in an emergency situation. I would recommend them to anyone pulling heavy loads.

carl f - 04/29/2018Look perfect for safety chains.
Ordered on Sunday arrived on Wednesday. Fast service getting you parts ASAP. And it was free shipping. Highly recommend etrailer for all your parts
Just got the safety chains I ordered. They are exactly as described and price was excellent compared to others I researched. Thanks etrailer!
Robert M - 07/07/2019great product, however it does not have a load test tag or shackles for attaching to gooseneck. No way to positively identify strength of chain or hook, but it sure look pretty.
Over all very happy with my purchase. Every thing came Undamaged even though the box look like it went thru wwIII . Installation went great and works well.
Ordered a new safety chain to replace the cheap safety chain on my new trailer. These are well made 18,000lb. with a forged clasp. Great service and price, I will order again. Dr. Jim
Great product, chain length more than sufficient, too long for our horse trailer actually bc of low to the ground loading. Overall great safety chains.
Ordered these to replace the existing safety chains on my trailer. Preformed as expected.
I received my order earlier than expected and everything I ordered for my boat trailer looks outstanding. I will begin the installation tomorrow sometime and am very happy about the quality of these products. The service provided was outstanding and my salesperson, Madison, was great. She answered all my questions and followed up after the fact. Thanks for the great service.
Exactly as described, for the price of the clevis hook at a local retailer, i was able to get 42" of graded transport chain too. As always, etrailer is exceeding expectations.
I bought these chains to replace my old ones because the safety latch on these chains were heavier and made better than my old chains. They work perfect and I would recommend them to anyone needing a very good safety chain
Great product, plenty of extra length to trim off. Hope they are never needed, but I'll have them if I do. They look great too.
