Rud Promotes Car, Van and Truck Snow Chains

During times of snow such as we have recently been experiencing in the UK and across larges swathes of Europe, chain maker RUD-Erlau is recommending that, as in Scandinavia, all commercial and rescue vehicles should carry a set of traction chains. While snow may be fun for the kids, “the last thing you want to be is either sliding on the stuff or stuck fast with nothing but a thermos for company” the company said in a statement, addressing those of us with both safety concerns and tight schedules to meet.

UD-Erlau offer a range snow chains including the RUD Matic Classic V and Rotogrip, which are said to be “popular UK market leaders.” For those drivers who have little enthusiasm for fitting chains in a blizzard, the Classic V is designed for rapid installation.

What is not discernable from the video (apologies for the lack of English) is the unique wedge-shaped reversible self-cleaning links which provide for a much smoother ride than conventional snow chains.

The chain mesh is draped over the tyre and part tensioned, the loose end is gathered up by driving forward a short way then the chain is fully secured. There is no need to reach blindly into the wheel arch. After use, the chains are stowed in a holdhall ready for the next time.
