Grip chain for construction vehicle - has transverse plates mounted by side chains tensioned by spring clamps

摘要

The tyre of the construction vehicle is protected by a series of transverse plates held over the tread by side chains. The chains meet at a series of tensioning points from which they are stretched by fitting to spring clamps between the chains and the fitting ring. The spring clamps maintain a constant tension on the tyre chain so that the plates are not displaced when the vehicle runs over rough ground, and when the tyre flexes.
