Weight Limit for the Safety Chain Quick Link part # C82932
Updated 08/11/2014 | Published 08/09/2014
Question:
Can you clarify the different between the capacity 16,500 lbs and the safe working load limit 3,300 lbs on these quick links? I am looking for a quick link to attach the chains of my horse trailer to my truck, because the snaps on the trailer chains will not fit around the slats on the hitch. The trailer weighs about 7,000 lbs max when fully loaded and I don't want something that might fail when I really need it. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The capacity of 16.5k lbs that the Curt Safety Chain Quick Link part # C82932 that you referenced has, is the capacity relative to its use as safety chain component.
Basically, it would be expected to break when 16,500 pounds of force was put on it, so, it would work well for you since your trailer weighs about 7,000 lbs.
