WLLAUTO Trailer Safety Cables 68-inch Two-Pack — 12,000 lb Rated Vinyl-Coated Steel with Snap Hooks

WLLAUTO 68-inch trailer safety cables are a heavy-duty pair rated for 12,000 lbs that keep your trailer connected if the hitch fails.

These WLLAUTO safety cables come as a two-pack designed for use with towing bars and hitch systems. Each set includes two 68-inch vinyl-coated steel cables, two snap hooks, and two quick links — all rated to handle up to 12,000 pounds. The vinyl coating resists weather and abrasion while providing easier handling, and the included hardware makes installation straightforward. This product is intended to reduce the risk of complete trailer separation if the primary hitch connection becomes compromised during towing.

How do these cables improve towing safety?

Safety cables act as a secondary connection between tow vehicle and trailer, designed to carry the trailer long enough to stop safely if the hitch disconnects. They are not meant to replace proper hitching but to provide a failsafe that limits uncontrolled separation.

• Two-cable configuration distributes load and reduces single-point failure risk.
• 12,000 lb rating supports medium-to-heavy trailer loads within that capacity.
• Snap hooks and quick links create secure, durable attachment points.
• Vinyl coating reduces wear, corrosion, and handles comfortably during use.

Will these fit my trailer and towing bar?

The 68-inch length is a standard size that works with most towing bars and hitch setups, but you should measure the distance between your vehicle’s hitch and trailer attachment to confirm fit. Installation requires compatible anchor points on both vehicle and trailer.

• 68-inch cable length suits common towing setups and allows slack for turns.
• Snap hooks fit most anchor loops; quick links tighten existing connections.
• Check that your trailer’s and vehicle’s rated strengths match or exceed 12,000 lbs.
• Not recommended as the sole safety device—use alongside a properly hitched coupling.

How durable are the cables and hardware?

Constructed from steel with a protective vinyl jacket, these cables balance strength and resistance to environmental wear. The vinyl sleeve helps prevent rust and minimizes abrasion where the cable contacts other surfaces.

• Steel core delivers the tensile strength needed for rated loads.
• Vinyl coating shields against moisture and reduces chafing on connections.
• Snap hooks and quick links are metal-forged to withstand towing stresses.
• Routine inspection recommended to ensure no fraying, corrosion, or hardware damage.

How do I install and maintain the safety cables?

Installation is simple: attach each cable between its respective trailer eye and the vehicle anchor point using the included quick links and snap hooks. Regular visual checks and occasional cleaning keep the cables reliable over time.

• Thread quick link through anchor, screw closed tightly, then secure snap hook to quick link.
• Cross cables under the hitch if required by local towing best practices for added stability.
• Inspect before every trip for coating damage, broken strands, or bent hardware.
• Wipe clean and dry after exposure to salt, mud, or heavy moisture to slow corrosion.
