Is your trailer or caravan chain too short?
The solution

- Install a new piece of rated galvanised 10mm longer chain. This chain is 64cm long.
- Connect the Hammerlock to the new chain and the welded link on the chassis rail.
What you cannot do
- Join the safety chain with dee or bow shackles until you reach the desired length.
- Insert un-rated safety chain links.
Galvanised chains and shackles are illegal on all trailers OVER 3.5t.
