Which chain grade is best for towing?

Depending on the vehicle you’re hauling, the chain grade may differ. If you’re hauling a regular sized vehicle or truck, you should use a chain with a grade no lower than 70, while with heavy construction equipment should go no lower than 80.

Should you cross chains when towing?

You should always cross your chains when attaching chains to your vehicle. By crossing the chains, it helps the trailer while turning to reduce the amount of stress and creates a cradle if the chain gets separated from the truck.

When should you not use towing chains?

Towing chains should not be used if you know or want to make sure the chain won’t damage the vehicle while towing. For example, if the vehicle's profile runs low, it’s safer to use a towing strap to get the vehicle up on the bed.

What must a tow chain have when towing?

A tow chain should have the appropriate working load limit for the tow you want to do and should have the right end fittings that are compatible with your vehicles such as large J-hooks or T-hooks.
