[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 80683, member: 437"] The safety "chains" on my factory Triton trailer are coiled cable. They keep themselves up in the air to prevent dragging. Safety chains are meant to keep the trailer from becoming detached from the tow vehicle and plowing into oncoming or following traffic. They are also meant to be crossed in an X when hooked to the tow vehicle. Many people do not know that crossing the chains is the proper way to attach them. The X will catch the coupler and keep it from striking the pavement should the trailer come uncoupled. [/QUOTE]
