10mm diameter high tensile chain manufactured name is, grade 70 high tensile chain - bolt cutter proof chain.
Although the stainless steel shield is an important part of the Caravan Wheel Clamp.
It is the 10mm diameter high tensile chain that secures the stainless steel shield to the leaf springs or tubular frame (most caravan chassis) or another part of the chassis if the vehicle has coil springs and / or piston suspension.
how the high tensile chain
fits around the back of the vehicles wheel
I have no idea when the first modern wheel clamp was first designed and manufactured.
In August 2005 when I decided to re-design the wheel clamp, all other wheel clamp brands are made by one of three methods and still are today December 07, 2024.
To design a wheel clamp that not only wraps around the width of the tyre, it also had to be
secured to part of the vehicles chassis
The leaf springs or tubular frame (most caravan chassis) or another part of the chassis if the vehicle has coil springs and / or piston suspension.
that is what I did
Designing and testing various methods to secure one wheel on vehicles in my factory in Kelmscott, Western Australia.
I finally had a unique designed wheel clamp and a unique method to fit it to a wheel compared to all other wheel clamps sold world wide.
We sold our first Australian made Caravan Wheel Clamp to a purchaser in Sydney to protect his 4wd off road camper trailer that had both coil springs and a piston suspension.
The stainless steel shield and a single length of 10mm diameter high tensile chain and one of two high security locks based on if you purchase the Enforcer Caravan Wheel Clamp or Supreme Caravan Wheel Clamp.
Place the high tensile chain through the holes in the stainless steel shield then wrap the chain around the wheel and leaf springs, tubular frame (most caravan chassis) or another part of the chassis if the 4wd vehicle has coil springs and / or piston suspension.
10mm diameter high tensile chain cannot be cut with a bolt cutter no matter how long the bolt cutter is.

We could have included thin 4mm or 6mm diameter mild steel chain, most people use for security, with each Caravan Wheel Clamp.
If we did both Enforcer Caravan Wheel Clamp and Supreme Caravan Wheel Clamp would be about 52% less to buy but there was no reason to do so.
The Caravan Wheel Clamp would be just another visual deterrent wheel clamp as other imported wheel clamp brands.
For about five dollars at Bunnings, Mitre 10 or any other hardware shop a thief can buy a 12 inch bolt cutter to cut thin 4mm or 6mm diameter mild steel chain and your $10,000 to $90,000 or more vehicle is stolen.
A cheap imported wheel clamp made from thin mild steel or about 0.2mm mild steel tube is going to stop thieves stealing your $10,000 to $90,000 or more vehicle then think again.
as the saying goes
you get what you pay for
If your towable vehicle was stolen what would it cost you to purchase a new one of the same type, quality including all the extras you purchased for it over the years ?
Now you have calculated the replacement cost will the insured value buy you the same if stolen, we doubt it.
how much out of pocket
will you be if your vehicle is stolen
No matter the insured value and how reliable your insurance company is, if your vehicle is stolen and you make a claim the insurance payout
will never cover
the full replacement value
Your next insurance policy will increase in cost, they always do after a claim.
No matter if you are insuring your camper trailer, caravan, boat, jet ski or house the main purpose of insurance should be for problems out of your control such as
but not theft
