13mm Hammerlock Chain Connector – Rated 5300kg (HLS13)
When you’re pulling the heaviest loads on the road—or off it—you need the kind of strength only HLS13 can offer. This 13mm hammerlock chain connector is built to handle up to 5300kg WLL, making it the go-to solution for commercial trailers, plant equipment, recovery vehicles, and off-road beasts.
Welding isn’t always practical—or legal. This hammerlock offers a fully ADR-compliant, bolt-on solution for attaching safety chains to drawbars, especially when used with the ARK XO Coupling Base Plate (Part No. XOCVBPV4).
Key Features:
- 13mm heavy-duty design – compatible with 13mm safety chains
- Rated Working Load Limit: 5300kg
- ADR compliant – meets Australian trailer chain standards
- Compatible with XO Coupling Base Plate
- Safe alternative to welding – easy hammer-lock installation
- Built for harsh Australian towing conditions
Whether you’re pulling an excavator or climbing a mountain with your off-grid trailer, this beast-level connector ensures your chain is going nowhere. Secure. Legal. Unbreakable.
