My hammerlocks instructions say to push the pin in with my thumb ,easy as ,I have auslift ,anyone have this & have you had any trouble with the pins coming out?
Hi, If you can find hooks that fits your chain it is simpler to hang the hooks from a hammerlock attached to your towbar. Most people do this. Cheers Bill
Cheers for the feedback Bill! I took this the other way just in case anyone wanted to borrow the camper so it was nice and easy to hitch / unhitch. Plus then the hooks are rated for the camper and if I get something else a little bigger (caravan / boat / heavy duty trailer) I can match the hooks up accordingly;. Just the way I have run this but great suggestion!
Hi are hammerlocks dynamic load rated ? I know most are static load rated . But dynamic load rated to be legally used on cars for towing? Thanks for your reply in advance.
Hey Todd, thanks for the question mate. Doing a little research and I can't see anything specific about dynamic load rating but I suppose it would depend on your state / territory / country as to what your local regulations are. Would definitely encourage doing your own research in this space as your local laws / regulations could be different to mine. I've linked in my local Vehicle Safety and Standards policy here for reference: www.transport.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/licensing/lbu_vs_ci_119.pdf

Hey Phillip - haven't had any dramas with my pins falling out on these yet. To be honest, am thoroughly enjoying just how easy these are to use!

the hook and the second hammerlock link can be replaced by a clevis slip hook
Will go and take a look at that. Thanks for the suggestion ;-)
