The Andersen Ultimate is not a fifth-wheel hitch, so in many (most?) jurisdictions it is not exempt from rules requiring a backup method of attachment, which is generally safety chains. Cables are sometimes used instead of chains, and in some cases only a single chain or cable is required.

For the trailer side, Andersen sells an optional chain kit that replaces the two regular bolts that clamp the adapter onto the king pin with bolts that each have a loop on the end.
For the truck side, the usual solution is to buy fittings intended for this purpose which pin into the mounting rails (in the case of the rail mount type). Here's an example:

... and one from Andersen:
