In the US, Canada and Mexico, safety chains are used when pulling trailers with pintle hooks. It's a safety issue in case the hitch fails and if the highway police catches you without it connected during a truck inspection, then they'll write you up and fine you for not property secured the trailer safely.

Just come to think of it: correctly, the brand is RINGFEDER.
(Google: "Ringfeder Corporation - RING-spring®"
Feder=spring in German)
Though, calling this thing a RINGFEEDER is much more obvious to me too.
(Sorry, I didn't mean to be a nitpicker.)
I have seen a picture of a white Ford HN80 hauling triple flat beds trailers and on the front of the Ford there was a sign saying ¨Steve's Haulage¨. Do you know if that Ford belongs to your boss Steve?

@svg1995 No mate. There are no FORD's in the stable. None of our trucks have a company name on them, only some of the trailers. He likes to keep a low key

Wow! Beauties! This is pure poetry!
Just love your showing us around!
Our drawbars come with a jack so you crank them to the right hight, no need for two guys to do it as you say. And of course there are angled guides to lead the ring exactly to the hook.
Can you tell me why cabovers are so popular in Australia? A few inches in length is not really a consideration like in Europe, is it?

cabovers are so popular for B-Double application where there is a set maximum length of 26m with a bonneted truck it's nearly impossible to get a full 34 pallet trailer combo under length. I would say cabovers are more popular than even conventionals in OZ
