    I am looking for tire chain hangers for my flatbed trailer. Does anyone know who sells such things? Or are they a homemade fabricated item from a local machine shop?

    All the ones I've ever used have been homemade.

    I would only hang them outside while I'm working for the scales to see I have em. As soon as I'm not working, I put em all in my truck.

    Not trying to get jacked bc replacing chains isn't cheap.

    I had chains hanging from my trailer. When I needed them, they were one huge frozen mass of dirty ice. I had to beat the accumulated ice off the chains enough so that I could hang them. After I got my hands thawed out enough to feel my fingers again that is. Do yourself and your fingers a favor and keep them in your side box.
