Semi-Truck Snow Chains Hangers Universal

Snow Chains & Hangers to Keep You Winter Ready

When snow starts falling and roads get slick, you need gear you can count on. That’s where our semi-truck snow chains and hangers come in. Whether you're hauling over icy passes or navigating freezing city streets, these accessories help keep your truck in control—and you on schedule.

What Snow Chains Do

Snow chains are a must for heavy-duty traction. They bite into snow and ice, giving your rig the grip it needs when the weather turns ugly. And with our heavy-duty chain hangers, you’ll always have them within reach, safely stored and easy to access.

Best Features

- Better traction: Chains help prevent slipping and give you more control over your steering and braking.
- Easy access: Chain hangers keep your gear neat, off the deck, and ready when you need it.
- Built tough: Made from corrosion-resistant materials to stand up to salt, slush, and road grime.
- Adjustable fit: Works with different truck frames and chain styles—because every setup’s a little different.
- Stay legal: In chain-required zones, having them onboard means no fines and no downtime.

Winter Prep Your Truck

No one enjoys throwing chains in a blizzard. But with the right tools and smart storage, it doesn’t have to be a hassle. It’s even better when you throw in winter-ready mud flaps, a new set of semi truck LED work lights for nighttime visibility, and extra storage with frame-mounted, commercial truck tool or chain boxes. Grab a set of snow chains, pair them with our durable hangers, and be ready for whatever winter throws your way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Semi-Truck Snow Chains Hangers Universal

Will these universal snow chain hangers fit my specific truck make and model?

Universal snow chain hangers are designed to fit most semi-trucks with standard bumper configurations. They typically work with trucks that have bumpers measuring 18-24 inches in depth. However, some newer aerodynamic bumpers or custom setups may require modifications. We recommend measuring your bumper depth and checking for at least 4 inches of clearance behind the bumper before ordering. Popular compatible models include Peterbilt 379/389, Kenworth W900/T680, Freightliner Cascadia/Classic, and most Volvo VNL series trucks.

What gauge steel are these hangers made from, and will they rust in winter conditions?

Most quality universal chain hangers are constructed from 10-12 gauge steel, providing the strength needed to support heavy-duty chains without bending. The finish varies by manufacturer - powder-coated options offer better rust resistance than basic painted steel. For maximum durability in harsh winter conditions with road salt exposure, look for hangers with zinc plating or powder coating. Regular cleaning after winter use and applying a rust preventative spray will significantly extend their lifespan.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools will I need?

Installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per side with basic hand tools. You'll need a drill with metal bits (usually 3/8" or 1/2"), wrenches or sockets to match the included hardware, and potentially a center punch to mark drilling locations. Most hangers mount using 2-4 bolts through the bumper. The main challenge is ensuring proper positioning to avoid interference with air lines or other bumper-mounted accessories. Having a helper to hold the hanger in place while marking holes makes the job much easier.

Can I leave these hangers on year-round, or should I remove them after winter?

While universal chain hangers are built to withstand weather, many drivers prefer seasonal removal to prevent unnecessary wear and maintain a cleaner appearance. Leaving them on year-round is acceptable but may lead to faster corrosion, especially in regions using road salt. Some DOT inspectors in certain states may cite permanently mounted empty chain hangers as unsecured equipment. If you choose year-round mounting, inspect regularly for rust and ensure chains are properly secured or removed when not needed.

What's the weight capacity, and how many chains can each hanger hold?

Standard universal chain hangers typically support 50-75 pounds per hanger, which accommodates one set of dual or single chains. Most hangers feature 2-3 hooks or a continuous bar design that can hold multiple chain cross-links. For trucks running super singles or requiring multiple chain sets, verify the hanger's rated capacity matches your chain weight. Overloading can cause hangers to bend or break, potentially damaging your bumper or losing chains on the highway.
