Trailer Hooks

[Margo]

Saw a post about some bolt on trailer tie down hooks for chains. Can't seem to find post after search. Any help will be appreciated.

If you google, or type in bolt on hooks on your search function, quite a list comes up.

does your trailer have stake pockets,i use ones that drop in those,you can move around where you need etc

I looked at some like that in the store and was thinking about getting some. How do you like yours?

Our trailer has a stake pocket about every
20" plus a heavy strap welded to the
outside of them from the front to the
back. Drop hook thru stake pocket then
bring hook back up outside pocket and hook
to top of pocket. How would a D ring be
better? Have already took front 2 chains off.

Sure you did Vic. Likely story, LOL.

Maybe

The drop in D-rings are a little better if you need to run straps back at 45 degrees. The straps just sit better, not rubbing on the edge of the trailer at an angle. With chains that doesn't really matter.....just drop them through the stack pockets as you say.

It is a rub rail, why would you want anything protruding outside of the rub rail to get rubbed off??

Put the hook on the side of the stake pocket.

I just watched a video with a Dot officer. You can have hooks and chain or straps on outside of rub rail. And tie to it anyway you want.
