Hey Neil, for a trailer that size and weight the 30 inch safety chains part # TCTSCG30-730-04x1 would work great as this is the typical size and capacity for a trailer that size. You would need to order a quantity of two of these. Each is rated for 5,000 lbs.

To attach to your trailer frame you could use the part # C82932 as well.
