Recommended Safety Chain Clevis Hooks for 6,500 Pound Trailer
Updated 11/27/2017 | Published 11/24/2017
Question:
I need two Clevis Hooks for my approx. 6500 pound trailer. Your products have weight recommendations... are they for the weight of the trailer or the tongue weight? I want 2 hooks with the latch and am not sure which ones I need. Thanks!

Helpful Expert Reply:
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.
