Hi, If you can find hooks that fits your chain it is simpler to hang the hooks from a hammerlock attached to your towbar. Most people do this. Cheers Bill
Cheers for the feedback Bill! I took this the other way just in case anyone wanted to borrow the camper so it was nice and easy to hitch / unhitch. Plus then the hooks are rated for the camper and if I get something else a little bigger (caravan / boat / heavy duty trailer) I can match the hooks up accordingly;. Just the way I have run this but great suggestion!
Hi are hammerlocks dynamic load rated ? I know most are static load rated . But dynamic load rated to be legally used on cars for towing? Thanks for your reply in advance.
Hey Todd, thanks for the question mate. Doing a little research and I can't see anything specific about dynamic load rating but I suppose it would depend on your state / territory / country as to what your local regulations are. Would definitely encourage doing your own research in this space as your local laws / regulations could be different to mine. I've linked in my local Vehicle Safety and Standards policy here for reference: www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/licensing/lbu_vs_ci_119.pdf

the hook and the second hammerlock link can be replaced by a clevis slip hook
Will go and take a look at that. Thanks for the suggestion ;-)
