These chains are fitted from the outside of the wheel, and are specially designed for use in tight spaces, and for use on twin wheels.

The chain mesh hangs from a sprung steel hoop which you first push over the top of the wheel, then you put one end around each side of the wheel, dragging the chain into place as you do it.

It is very difficult to drag chain links between twin wheels – there is not enough space – which is why the Maggi Select MATIC should always be the chain of choice for these vehicles.

A very practical and easy-to-use 300 lumen head torch with three lighting levels, all you need for general lighting - in and around the home, car, campsite.

You need two hands to fit snowchains or AutoSock. If you've never used a headtorch before you'll be amazed at what a difference they make, and how often you'll end up using it. Keep one in the car, or in your outdoor coat pocket. Petzl is the head torch brand, much copied, never bettered.


Select Vehicle

After selecting your vehicle we will show you the correct size of Maggi truck chains: for your vehicle and tyre combination. Please note that the price may vary between sizes.

Maggi's Select MATIC ‘automatic’ snowchains are made from square 5.5mm diameter cross section links, built into a rhomboid-shaped mesh to give very good lateral grip as well as excellent forward grip.

Fitting is very quick and very easy. Lift the centre of the sprung steel hoop onto the top of the tyre and push it to the back. Place each end of the hoop behind the wheel near ground level, left and right of the tyre; this will have had the effect of dragging chain over the face of the tyre except of course where the tyre is in contact the road surface. Join the outer chain ring with its special spring hook, move the vehicle a quarter turn, and then pull the tensioning chain tight. A colour coded locking plate stops it loosening.

These are not self tensioning chains so you’ll need to make a further tensioning stop once the chain has properly shaken itself into place, usually after 10 metres or so.

You will find that you can usually fit these chains without even getting your hands dirty – which just goes to show how different these automatic chains are when compared to other heavy duty commercial snowchain models.

Maggi has developed its heavy duty commercial vehicle snow chains over many years, working with such demanding customers as the military, fire brigades, and the forestry sector - where strength, performance and ease of use are critical considerations.

Maggi is a very long established family business, a world leader in chain technology, based in Italy, employing some 250 people and with representation in 65 countries. Snow chains are only part of their business. Their entire manufacturing process is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001, with “on line” computerised control systems collecting and analysing test data at every stage to ensure conformity and traceability.

We're also showing you a range of other winter products which we're selling here at market leading prices, including telescopic snow shovels, ice scrapers, a snow brush, and - almost essential for fitting snow chains - a head torch. Please click on the links to see pictures and more information.
