König DRS

The triple diamond pattern chain suggested for winter services

The König DRS is the natural evolution of the DR targetting the extra-wide section tires available on the larger wheel loaders and agricoltural tractors engaged in snow removal activities.

In fact, on those extra large tire sections where the double diamond cross-section of the König DR would leave to much room without a proper chain coverage, the DRS triple diamond increases by 50% the chain touchpoints thanks to an additional diamond.

Being the product destined to earth moving and agricoltural machineries, not beloning to M2, N2 or O2 classes, the König DRS is not part of the application field of the Ö-Norm V5119.

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.

Extreme duty 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

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.

3 of 5
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.

4 of 5
Ending shackle

The tightening chain gets secured to the side chain through a shackle resisiting to the most extreme prolonged working sessions.

Ice-breaking technologies

The horizontal links at the center of the cross-section present “over-links” with an higher thickness than the vertical links. Used in heavier duty conditions compared to the simple link configuration, the ice-breaker configuration provides an increased number of touch-points between snow chain and ground, improving vehicle handling side handling and more aggressive geometries againts the ground.

Triple diamond cross-section design

The cross-section design is generated starting from three single diamonds getting horizontally flanked and then put in sequence. This is the ideal cross-section design for those large machines, such as wheel-loaders and tractors, equipped with super-wide tyres with section above 550mm.

Multiple central closing hooks

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.

The König DRS features two central closing hooks.

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 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.

Inner closing hook

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

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.
