The SecureFix Direct Tow Chain (10mm x 12ft) is an essential tool for farmers, truckers, and recovery specialists who require a heavy-duty alternative to textile straps. Its primary strength lies in its high-durability metal construction, which resists fraying and sharp-edge damage that typically plagues traditional recovery straps; however, users should note that the self-colour finish requires regular maintenance to prevent surface rust over time.

No, this product is specifically designed for towing and recovery. It is not rated for overhead lifting or hoisting applications.
A self-colour finish means the metal has not been painted or galvanized, leaving it in its raw state which makes it prone to rust if not oiled.
No, this is a heavy-duty metal chain and does not have the elastic properties of synthetic kinetic ropes.
The rating is a proof test rating, indicating the load the chain is verified to handle under controlled conditions.
You can connect chains using rated shackles, but ensure all connection points are rated for the total weight being towed.
Clean the chain with a wire brush and apply a thin layer of protective oil or anti-corrosion spray.
Ensure the tension is fully released from the line; if stuck, use a penetrating oil on the hook latch.
To set up the chain, attach the hook securely to a rated recovery point on the disabled vehicle and the ring to the towing vehicle's hitch receiver using an appropriate shackle. Always ensure the chain is free of knots or kinks before applying tension. Regarding care, the self-colour metal finish is exposed; after use in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the chain clean and apply a light coating of machine oil or a rust-inhibitor spray to maintain the integrity of the metal. Store the chain in a dry, ventilated area to prevent oxidation.
