V-Chain Assemblies

Commonly referred to as V-straps or V-chains due to their design, towing bridles are primarily used in the recovery industry for loading rolling vehicles up onto car carrier decks. Attached hooks and loops secure each end of the axle, and a center ring provides a single winch point for pulling the vehicle up onto the flatbed. Zip’s AW Direct’s large selection of bridle rigging assemblies offers varying leg lengths and capacities as well as loop and hook options, including R/T/J and mini-J hooks.

V-Chain Assemblies Buying Guide

When it comes to secure, reliable vehicle recovery, v chains are among the most trusted tools in the towing industry. Designed for durability and versatility, these assemblies—sometimes called v-bridle chains or tow truck v chains—provide the strength needed to attach to a vehicle’s frame or designated tie-down points. Whether you’re hauling a passenger car, a light-duty truck, or heavier vehicles, v-chain assemblies offer a dependable connection between the load and your wrecker or rollback.

Why Choose V-Chains?

A v bridle tow chain distributes pulling forces evenly, reducing strain on attachment points while improving safety during recovery. These assemblies typically include two legs of chain joined at a common ring, with a variety of hook options on the ends. The design allows for flexibility, making them a preferred choice for professional towers and recovery operators.

Common applications include:

Securing vehicles for short- or long-distance towing
Attaching to front or rear frame slots using mini J-hooks, R-hooks, or T-hooks
Heavy-duty recovery work with 15” J-hooks for larger frames

Available in lengths from 2 feet to 10 feet, v chains are built to match the demands of your towing setup.

End Attachments: Choose from mini J-hooks, R-hooks, T-hooks, or 15” J-hooks depending on the vehicles you tow most often.
Chain Grade: Heavier-duty grades ensure maximum strength for demanding recovery applications.
