Qiki is a new product for trailer chain connection to a vehicle. It is a quick fit trailer chain connector suitable for towing trailers weighing up to 4500kg.

It replaces traditional D-shackles or Bow shackles and once fitted cannot be removed or lost. No more searching for lost or missing shackles when you go to hook up a trailer or caravan. They are small, lightweight, unobtrusive and simple to hook up and unhook. Can be locked with a small padlock if required for security.

They are rated to meet the Australian standards required for trailer chain connectors. Suitable for trailer chains up to 13mm. One Qiki required per trailer chain. The hammerlock part is D100 rated to 2500kg. The Qiki hook set is also rated to 2000kg.

Additional Information:

Trailer chain connectors are typically required to have a breaking strength of 1.5 times the loaded weight of the trailer or caravan. Qiki has a breaking strength of double its rating being 5000kg.  

For example a loaded trailer of 3500kg would require the chain connectors to have a breaking strain of 1.5 x 3500kg = 5250kg

Trailers of 2000kg require 2 chains so two Qiki’s required. Two Qiki’s have a breaking strain of 10,000kg which is almost double the requirement.

Qiki is a product of “iTS” - Intelligent transport solutions.
