5/16 transport chain will hold about anything you can legally haul on your smaller trailer. When binding down your tractor or load, always make sure your chain is not twisted - keep it straight. Have one chain for front of load and one for rear of load. Attach them so they are pulling away and to the side of the load on each end. You want to eliminate movement (to-fro,side-side,up-down). Bind it tight, so the tires squat some, but don't break a spindle! Use a good binder (Screw or snap type), but whatever you do wire the binder, binder handle, and chain together. That way if something happens, your binder will stay with your chain and not end up in an oncoming windshield. For additional safety, try to keep binders on passenger side if possible. If you have the snap type binders, get a good 2-3"x 30" pipe for a safety lever. Always pull or push your pipe away from you when binding. Get a good pair of leather gloves for chaining/binding and keep them in your truck near your seat or in the door pouch. They protect and keep your hands clean, so your steering wheel and gear shift keep clean.

That is well within a
