Snow removal snow chains
chains for trucks, tractors, loaders and graders destined to snow clearing activities
intro
Snow removal snow chains category
As winter approaches and snowfall becomes frequent, the efficiency and safety of your snow clearing operations are paramount. König snow removal chains ensure machinery maintains optimal traction on icy and snow-covered surfaces, preventing slips and enhancing maneuverability in the harshest conditions.
Designed to excel in performance and durability, the König snow removal chains fit a wide range of snow removal equipment, including heavy trucks, snowplows, skid steers, graders, loaders and agricoltural tractors. With easy installation and reliable performance, these chains are essential for maintaining productivity and safety during winter operations.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Common product design features
Traditional, heavy duty construction
The product is built following the traditional Professional snow chains construction, meaning that the chain is 100% manufactured in Steel, lacking of any plastic component, cable arch or anything else. Just superior quality steel and the most advanced treatments, plain and simple.
1 of 5Tensioning lever
The tensioning of the chain is given by the coupling of the tensioning lever and the tightening chain. Once reached the correct tensioning, the lever gets secured with a dedicated anti-return ring or shackle
2 of 5Welded side rings
Welded side rings are the most heavy duty side connections for snow chains involved into demanding Professional activities. The rings are welded in place and, after that, the complete snow chain is subject to a case-hardening process which ensures that not only cross-sections are treated but also all the side elements, both on the internal and on the external side.
3 of 5Hardened side chain and tightening chain
The use of welded side rings allows the complete chain to be hardened, including side chains and tightening chains. This results in side elements which are harder compared to standard truck and offroad chains with bent side hooks and they are ready to stand the abuses of heavy duty working conditions.
4 of 5Elastic end with heavy duty spring
The tightening chain gets secured to the side chain through an elastic end composed by an heavy duty spring and a carabiner for the quickest mounting/demounting process

Central closing hook
The central closing hook ensures the cross-sections not leaving any no-chain area in order to reach superior performances, increased stability and a way better driving comfort.
1 of 43 different link configurations possible
Considering the large variety of machines, tyres and ground conditions available in the snow clearing activities, snow removal chains are available with 3 different link configurations:
- Simple-link
- Ice-breaker
- Ice-breaker + welded bar
Double diamond cross-section design
The cross-section design is generated starting from two single diamonds getting horizontally flanked and then put in sequence. This is most typical cross-section design for snow removal chains where the requested traction and resistance level is way higher compared to the typical offroad and truck snow chains cross-sections.
3 of 4Dig Flow technology
König snow removal chains featuring this technology are equipped with different wire profiles according to the position.
Meant to provide traction, the cross-sections are manufactured in D-Shape wire, offering a square angle on the outer side for stronger performances. At the same time, shoulder chains are manufactured in O-Shape (round profile), allowing the chain to move in dynamic conditions and avoiding links to get stuck on the same position thus subsequently offering a longer product lifetime.

Hardened side chain
The use of welded side rings allows the complete chain to be hardened, including side chains. This results in side elements which are harder compared to standard truck and offroad chains with bent side hooks and they are ready to stand the abuses of heavy duty working conditions.
1 of 4Inner adjusting shackle(s)
The inner side chain features two or more shackles which are meant to adjust the lenght of the inner side chain, allowing a precise fit on different tyre sizes thanks to a wide adaptability.
2 of 4Inner closing hook
The inner hook is the connection point of the inner side of the chain.
3 of 4Welded side rings
Welded side rings are the most heavy duty side connections for snow chains involved into demanding Professional activities. The rings are welded in place and, after that, the complete snow chain is subject to a case-hardening process which ensures that not only cross-sections are treated but also all the side elements, both on the internal and on the external side.

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS
Common features of the Snow Removal snow chains
Extreme duty construction
The traditional fitting system with inner side chain is the most classical way to fit a professional snow chain. The super sturdy design doesn’t include anything else than steel and for this reason it’s the most reliable costruction available.
Considering the wide variety of tyres, machines, snow removal chains are available with different cross-sections designs: double diamond, triple diamond or net.
Superior material quality and process excellence
Considering that Steel represents the vast majority of the raw materials used in Professional snow chains, König has developed through the years one of the latest generation special alloy steel with a strictly defined chemical composition, selected amongst hundreds of options for its superior mechanical properties, perfect processability and fitment into bending, welding and surface treatment processes.
The K-Premium Steel is synonym of reliability, resistance and durability.
D-Shaped links in 4.50mm, 5.50mm, 7.00mm, 8.00mm and 10.00mm wire
The brand uses D-shaped links for snow removal applications, providing the ideal balance between powerful traction and link mobility. Their geometry allows the links to move freely over uneven and challenging terrain, reducing the risk of the chain getting stuck.
Snow removal involves a wide variety of machines and tyre sizes, each with different requirements. To cover this broad range of applications, the snow chain portfolio features multiple wire diameters, carefully matched to the corresponding tyre dimensions. This ensures the right balance of traction, strength and durability for every machine.
Fully certified and legally valid
The snow chain is certified according to the latest regulatory standards Ö-Norm V5119 thus complying to any snow chain legal requirement worldwide. Both the product and the packaging are showing the necessary marking required by the current legislation.
