Spikes-Spider ALPINE PRO - size AP4 - wheel bolt size TBC

The superb Spikes-Spider ALPINE PRO is designed for the heavier end of the light commercial vehicle market, i.e. for vehicles up to 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 - once adjusted, a filler unit holds these adjustments in place.
• Suitable for vehicles up to 5 tonnes laden weight

Please note that if you are new to this system you need to order both the Spikes-Spider ALPINE PRO and the hub mounting kit; both these items are pre-ticked in the order section at the bottom of this page. We're also showing you a range of other winter motoring products which we're selling here at market leading prices, including a snow and ice windscreen protector, a telescopic snow shovel, and a snow brush - all of these items are almost essential kit for winter weather, especially we suggest the snow brush..
