Traction Chain
Lighter ladder or diamond-pattern chain for traction on ice, snow, mud and steep gradients, for loaders, haulers, graders and heavy trucks working winter sites.
Features
- Ladder pattern for straight-line pull, diamond pattern for more even grip and better lateral hold.
- Lighter than a protection net, so less fuel and driveline load.
- Hardened link sections at the ground-contact points for wear life on grit and tarmac.
- Quick-fit designs available for sets that go on and off seasonally or per shift.
- Not a substitute for protection chains in abrasive material, and not intended for sustained rock work.
