Tow Chains Applications
Tow chains are essential for car towing, often used as trailer chains in emergency rescue operations or heavy vehicle towing. Car towing chains are backup connections for trailers and accident vehicles, ensuring secure towing and preventing detachment during towing operations.
Due to their high strength and durability, tow chains are used in construction or manufacturing industries to transport heavy objects or secure equipment and machinery. They can also be used as hoisting chains for lifting operations.
Tow chains are used in freight transport as tie-down chains to secure goods, preventing displacement or damage during transit and ensuring cargo safety.
In modern elevators, coated tow chains are used as compensation chains, balancing the elevator car and counterweight, ensuring stable operation. The surface coating provides exceptional wear resistance, supporting long-term, frequent use.
With their high strength and toughness, tow chains are used as security chains, such as in construction sites and warehouses to prevent theft and protect property. They are also used as safety chains in dangerous areas like cliffs or lakesides for safety purposes.

First, align the tow truck with the towed vehicle, keeping them in a straight line.
Locate the tow hooks or towing points on both the tow truck and the towed vehicle.
Attach one end of the tow chain to the tow truck and the other end to the towed vehicle, ensuring that the tow chain is free of knots or tangles.
Once connected, check the slack of the tow chain—it should not be too tight to avoid damaging the vehicle when the tow truck starts moving.
Please note, that when using heavy-duty tow chains (such as G80 or G70 chains), ensure that the chain’s load capacity is sufficient for the required pulling force during the operation.
When measuring tow chain size, pay attention to the following points:
- Tow Chain Length: Generally, the standard length for tow chains is between 10 to 30 feet, but Tuohai can customize tow chains to specific lengths—please contact us for more details.
- Chain Diameter: The diameter is an important parameter for steel chain performance. The larger the diameter, the higher the load capacity of the chain. Smaller diameter chains cannot be used for towing or trailer operations.
- Chain Grade: Tow chains come in various grades, typically G43, G70, or G80. The higher the grade, the greater the load capacity of the chain. You can find the chain’s grade stamped on the link.
- Link Type: Tow chains typically use straight link chains, which can be further categorized into long link chains and short link chains. The length of the links affects the flexibility and strength of the tow chain.
When using a tow chain, strictly follow the working load limit and do not use it for towing operations exceeding its rated load capacity.
Before using a tow chain, determine the required pulling force for the tow truck and select a chain with a working load limit higher than the load to ensure safety.
When connecting the tow chain, ensure it is properly attached to the tow truck and the towed vehicle’s designated towing points. Avoid connecting it to non-reinforced areas, as these cannot withstand towing forces and could cause damage.
After connecting the tow chain, check the security of the connection points to prevent detachment, and also check the slack of the chain. Ensure there is enough slack to prevent impact when the tow truck starts moving.
During towing, regularly check the condition of the tow chain to ensure there is no excessive wear or deformation. If any issues arise, immediately stop the operation, reassess, and replace the tow chain if necessary.

When using a tow chain for a tow truck and towed vehicle, it is important to connect the chain to the designated towing points on the vehicles. Most vehicles have specific towing points, typically located at the front or rear, which are designed to bear the towing load.
Note: Do not connect the tow chain to non-designated areas of the car, such as the bumper, as these points cannot handle the towing load and may be damaged, leading to safety hazards.
The manufacturing and use of tow chains must comply with specific industry standards to ensure safety, strength, and reliability. Below are some common Tow Chain standards:
US Standards (ASTM Standards)
- ASTM A391: Standards for high-strength alloy steel chains, focusing on the chain’s mechanical properties and durability.
- ASTM A413: Specifies the dimensions, material, and testing requirements for chains to ensure suitability for heavy-duty towing.
European Standards (EN Standards)
- EN 818: European standard for manufacturing and testing high-strength chains like G80 and G100, widely used in lifting and towing operations.
- EN 1677: Covers the standards for chain accessories (such as hooks, connecting links, etc.), ensuring safety when used in conjunction with tow chains.
German Standards (DIN Standards)
- DIN 763: German standard for long link chains, suitable for medium-to-low load towing and transport.
- DIN 766: Short link chain standard, commonly used in shipping and towing equipment.
- DIN 5685: General chain manufacturing standard, applicable for non-heavy-duty towing tasks.
International Standards (ISO Standards)
- ISO 1834: Specifies the classification, design, and testing methods for chains, ensuring global uniformity in quality standards.
- ISO 3077: Focuses on the mechanical properties and safety factors for chains used in heavy lifting and towing scenarios.
Other Standards
- CMAA (Crane Manufacturers Association of America): For lifting and towing chains, the CMAA standards specify strength and reliability requirements.
- NACM (National Association of Chain Manufacturers): Provides performance specifications for chains and accessories, ensuring chain quality in the North American market.
Tow chain standards vary by application and region. Common high-strength chains (such as G80 chains and G70 chains) typically comply with ASTM, EN, and ISO standards to meet the diverse requirements of global markets. Understanding the standards a tow chain complies with helps ensure its safety and reliability in specific applications.
