My tiny sleeper, mid roof Peterbilt has almost no room for tire chains under the bunk. Is there a company that makes a bolt on chain hanger for the frame in the usual spot(near the catwalk between the fuel tank and drives). Or is this just something I'll have to fashion on my own?
I know how to chain and avoid as necessary. But since I've already used them for the first time in a decade this year, I'd at least want them in an easier spot.
After market tire chain hanger.

I honestly don't remember I was looking for a deck plate and saw them.on their website.. I didn't think the price was to bad
I carry my chains in the tool box on my trailer so I didn't pay alot of attention just saw they had them and know Merrit builds good stuffbentstrider83 Thanks this. -
Still, definitely a source if one's a serious owner-op or fleet owner looking to equip their own set of trucks. -
Merritt. ProTech. There’s a few companies that make what you want, but they’re all about the same price.
A fab shop could make you some simple hooks from steel rod that you could bolt onto your frame rail. If you don’t use them much a crate or box on your deck plate would be the cheapest and easiest. Personally I’d only spend the money for hangers if I used them a lot and needed to keep them organized.Last Call and bentstrider83 Thank this. -

I keep my in 2 milk crates in trailer tool box .. I cuss some when I have to untangle them .. but that's mostly cause I have to chain up to begin with
bentstrider83 Thanks this. -
The truck I'm driving right now has some nice ones with a wide checkerplate aluminum lid that doubles as a step. I'll try to remember to snap a picture of them tomorrow.
