König DR Light

The double diamond pattern chain suggested for winter services

The König DR Light follows completely traces the design language of the König DR in terms of cross-section design, wire diameters and construction.

At the same time, the König DR Light differs for the simple link technology: in fact the König DR Light follows a simple link configuration lacking the ice-breakers and resulting in a lighter and less aggressive chain profile.

The König DR Light is a supplementary grip device certified according to Ö-Norm V5119 thus fulfilling any winter equipment legal requirement.

Key features and benefits

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.

Tensioning 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 5
Welded 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.

Hardened 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.

Elastic 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 5 of 5
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.

Simple link configuration

Alternation of horizontal and vertical links: this is what the simple link configuration is about. 

Vertical links are the ones working more versus the ground while horizontal links act mainly as conjunction between the vertical ones.

The simple link technology is the most gentle while generating a limited vibration level and being the lighest available.

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.

Dig & 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. 4 of 4
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.

Inner closing hook

The inner hook is the connection point of the inner side of the chain.

Inner 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.

Welded 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.
