Spikes-Spider ALPINE PRO - size AP2 - wheel bolt size TBC

The superb new Spikes-Spider ALPINE Pro is now available. It's been developed for the light commercial vehicle market, i.e. for vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes, where speed and simplicity of fitting is almost as important as chain function. It's no surprise that light commercial drivers tend to run their chains on tarmac much more than other users, because most chains are a pain to have to fit and remove on a frequent basis. This increases the chain wear massively, obviously enough, so in this context the 30 seconds it takes to fit a set of Spikes-Spiders, and the 30 seconds needed to remove them, makes all the difference.

You'll see that the ALPINE Pro includes more metal components than other Spikes-Spider systems, but it shares the same fundamental characteristics as the rest of the range, e.g. the same hub mounting plates, the way in which the chains sit quite loose on the tyres, are self cleaning and will adjust to the frequent changes in tyre shape without straining any components, and the fact that all parts are available as spares. Specific features:

• The 'kink' in the grip plates emulates the perpendicular "grip links" used in very expensive conventional snowchains to provide better traction, better braking and better steering.
• The grip plates are made of galvanized steel and include pressure points for better grip on ice and very hard snow.
• the ALPINE Pro can be resized to fit a large number of tyre sizes by reconfiguring the patented adjusters - see the top right picture and note how the adjuster plate has been turned through 90 degrees to increase the chain size.
• Suitable for vehicles up to 5 tonnes laden weight Click here to see the full application range and look for the code SPAP2.
