Apex Tools Group Llc 231912 Hi-viz Tow Chain 5/16 X 12 Ft

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC 231912 is a 5/16-inch by 12-foot hi-test tow chain built for vehicle recovery and load securing in demanding field conditions. The chain ships with a clevis grab hook at each end, making it ready for immediate use without additional hardware. A zinc plating base layer is topped with a double poly coating to resist rust and corrosion. The bright blaze orange poly finish makes the chain easy to spot in snow, mud, brush, or low-light environments. This is a System 4 hi-test chain rated for heavy-duty towing and recovery work performed by fleet operators, off-road recovery crews, and trade professionals who keep recovery gear on the truck.

This chain is suited for vehicle towing, equipment dragging, and load control applications where a short, strong chain with pre-installed hooks is needed. The 12-foot working length provides enough reach for most bumper-to-frame or receiver-to-axle connections. The clevis grab hooks at both ends attach quickly to standard chain links, tow rings, and frame hooks without tools. The hi-viz orange coating is particularly useful in recovery situations where the chain may be partially buried or obscured by vegetation or weather.

Installation Notes

Attachment and removal should be performed by experienced operators familiar with towing and recovery rigging practices. Inspect all hooks, links, and attachment points for deformation, cracking, or wear before each use. Never exceed the rated working load limit of the chain or any connected hardware. Keep personnel clear of the recovery line during tensioned towing or extraction operations.
