Heavy-Duty V-Chain Bridle & Tow Chains – Grade 70 Recovery Chains for Towing & Hauling

Professional Grade 70 V-Chain Bridles & Tow Chains – Heavy-Duty Recovery Series

High-Tensile DOT/FMCSA Compliant Chain Assemblies with RJT, J-Hook, and Grab Configurations

OVERVIEW

Dominate the most demanding vehicle recovery and transport operations with our Professional Grade 70 V-Chain Bridles & Tow Chains. Engineered exclusively for professional tow truck operators, emergency recovery crews, and auto transport fleets, these heavy-duty assemblies are forged from heat-treated, high-carbon steel. Designed to handle extreme dynamic tension, the chains are shielded by a corrosion-resistant yellow dichromate finish that stands up to road salt, mud, and harsh weather. Featuring a comprehensive array of specialized hook configurations—including Mini J-Hooks, massive Single Shank J-Hooks, and universal RJT clusters—this series provides immediate, secure attachment points for almost any vehicle frame or axle on the road today.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS

• Grade 70 High-Tensile Steel: Heat-treated for maximum strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the chain will not stretch or deform under extreme vehicle recovery loads.

• DOT & FMCSA Compliant: Meets and exceeds all federal safety regulations for commercial roadside towing, transport, and load securement.

• Universal Hook Clusters: Outfitted with specialized hardware combos like RTJ/RJT cluster hooks and Single Shank J-Hooks to safely anchor into domestic and import vehicle chassis slots without causing frame damage.

• Corrosion-Resistant Armor: The premium gold/yellow zinc dichromate plating actively prevents rust and oxidation, extending the operational life of the chain in severe weather.

• High Working Load Limits (WLL): The 7.9 mm (5/16") configurations offer a massive 2,131 kg (4,700 lb) WLL, while the 9.5 mm (3/8") variants step up to a formidable 2,993 kg (6,600 lb) WLL.
