Tie Down Engineering 59548 Trailer Hitch Safety Cables, Class IV 7,000 lb Black Vinyl-Coated Pair

The Tie Down Engineering 59548 is a pair of Class IV trailer hitch safety cables built as a self-coiling alternative to standard hitch safety chains. Each cable uses galvanized aircraft-grade cable construction that exceeds SAE J684 standards for trailer coupling and automotive-style hitches, and the set is NMMA certified for boat trailer applications. A black vinyl coating covers the cable for corrosion resistance and a cleaner finish, while a heavy-duty forged S-hook style latch hook on each cable secures to the tow vehicle for a reliable connection. The cables are rated to a 7,000 pound breaking strength and load capacity, and each cable in the pair measures 36 inches with its snap hook attached. The self-coiling design keeps the cables compact and tangle-free between hookups, making them easier to store and handle than bulky chain. Sold as a pair (2 pieces), the 59548 set weighs 2.19 pounds and is intended as a direct, code-compliant safety connection for Class IV rated trailer hitches.
