Each chain is heat-treated and strength-tested, and the included forged hooks feature safety clips to help prevent accidental uncoupling. They meet common towing practices for crossing chains beneath the coupler and attaching to receiver loops, delivering a reliable secondary link in case of hitch failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong are these chains and what do the ratings mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chains are Grade 70 (G70) alloy, engineered for high tensile strength in towing applications. The manufacturer lists a combined break strength of 26,400 lbs for the set, with a working load limit around 6,600 lbs per chain; these numbers indicate the maximum and safe operational loads used for selection and matching to your towing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 70 alloy links heat-treated for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8\" chain thickness, 35\" length per chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26400 lb combined break strength (manufacturer specification)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorking load limit approx. 6,600 lbs per chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I attach and use the Nilight safety chains properly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttach one chain to each trailer anchor point and connect the hooks to the tow vehicle receiver loops. Cross the chains under the trailer coupler so they form a cradle that helps control the tongue in case the hitch separates; secure clips on the clevis hooks keep connections from slipping loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse both chains and cross them under the coupler for correct safety geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsert removable zinc-plated pin and cotter when fitting chain retainer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHook clevis snap hooks to vehicle loops and close safety clips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCheck for proper length and slack before every trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these chains compatible with trailers, RVs, boats, and gooseneck couplers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the design and strength rating make these chains suitable for a wide range of towing setups including small to medium trailers, RVs, and boat trailers.

Tow vehicle owners who haul trailers, boats, or RVs and need a robust secondary connection should consider these Nilight Grade 70 safety chains. They are aimed at drivers who require greater strength than basic chains provide, and who follow standard towing installation practices. Match these chains to the tow system’s rated capacities and local requirements to ensure proper, safe use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What size and grade are the Nilight trailer safety chains?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: They are Grade 70 alloy chains, 3\/8\" diameter and 35\" long per chain, sold as a 2-pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can these chains be used for boat and gooseneck towing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes for most boat trailers; for gooseneck check anchor points and match the tow system's rated capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Nilight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55168351437143,"sku":"B0D1K6MBTD","price":81.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/nilight-front-packaging-chains.jpg?v=1790401366","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/nilight-trailer-safety-chains-g70-3-8-x-35-2-pack-26-400-lb-break-strength-clevis-snap-hooks","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
