Tie Down Engineering 59537 Galvanized Trailer Safety Cable, 5,000 lb Capacity, Wire Safety Latch

The Tie Down Engineering 59537 is a galvanized trailer safety cable rated for 5,000 pounds, used as a backup connection between a trailer and tow vehicle in case the primary hitch coupling fails. The galvanized finish resists corrosion, making this cable well suited to boat trailers and other trailers regularly exposed to launch ramps, road salt, and outdoor storage. Each cable is fitted with a wire safety latch, which keeps the hook securely closed on the tow vehicle's attachment point during towing so the cable cannot work itself loose over a drive.

This safety cable is sold under Tie Down Engineering part number 59537 and is rated to a 5,000 pound working capacity, placing it a step above the company's 3,500 pound cables for trailers and loads that need the extra margin. It installs by looping or hooking the cable between the trailer tongue and the tow vehicle's frame or hitch, providing a secondary connection alongside the trailer's primary coupling and any required safety chains.
