Curt 81288 Snap Hook with Spring-Loaded Safety Latch, 9/16" Diameter, 5,000 lbs, Class III

Heavy-duty carabiner-style snap hook that securely connects your trailer's safety chains to your tow vehicle, with a spring-loaded latch that closes the hook into a loop to resist coming loose over rough terrain.

Why Choose the Curt 81288 Snap Hook?

There are always some factors on the road you can't control — an irresponsible driver, adverse weather conditions — but one thing you can control is the type of towing equipment you use. Curt snap hooks are a highly secure way to connect your safety chains from your trailer to your tow vehicle.

This snap hook features a spring-loaded safety latch that turns the hook into a closed loop, similar in function to a quick link. That latch keeps the safety chain connection from coming loose due to vehicle vibrations or jarring on uneven terrain. Built from strong steel with a zinc-plated finish to outlast the elements, it offers a 9/16" diameter and a Class III gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000 lbs, making it suited for heavier-duty towing applications. It's also handy for use on winch straps and other quick-connect uses.

💪 5,000 lb GTW, Class III

🛡️ Steel Construction

🔄 Versatile Use

🔢 Part Details

This is a snap hook / carabiner-style clip, distinct from Curt's traditional S-hook shape. If a classic open S-hook design with a similar 9/16" size and capacity is specifically needed instead, Curt's part 81830 (17/32", 7,600 lb) or other S-hook-shaped parts in Curt's lineup may be a better fit — confirm the exact hook shape needed before ordering.

Part Number: 81288 | Class: III

⚠️ Safe Use Tip

When attaching safety chains, always cross them beneath the trailer coupler, and make sure each hook and chain is rated to meet or exceed the gross trailer weight of your trailer.
