Question:
I will be using one of these for a 4’ swing away section. What chains/cables should I get that are long enough? As they’d need to be 4’ plus about a foot to reach the attachment points on the hitch, and maybe plus another foot for slack as well as attaching behind the hinge.

Sounds like you need 6 foot safety chains for use on your trailer that is using the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 3" Tongue - Bolt On - Up to 5,000 lbs # FHDPB330301.
We have the perfect option for 5k rated chains of that length, and you can choose between an S-hook with latch or quick link. I'm giving the option because some people don't like the S-hook (even with the latch), but some prefer it's ease of use over the quick link, so just go with whatever you are more comfortable with as both will work out perfectly:
- 72" Long Safety Chain with 1/4" S-Hook with Latch # TCTSCG30-772-04x2
- 72" Long Safety Chain with 1/4" Quick Link # TCTSCG30-772-07x2
