The New Rotogrip CS Automatic Snow Chains from RUD
From RUD Chain, Inc.
 

 

RUD Ketten presented a further development of its tried and tested Rotogrip spinning chain at the Nutzfahrzeug-IAA (commercial vehicle exhibition). The Rotogrip CS has been specially designed for commercial vehicles and buses with limited space for fitting chains. CS stands for "compact solu-tion", and emphasizes that the new Rotogrip can even be fitted alongside low profile tyres and pneumatic suspension components.

This new version is a further development of the tried and tested RUD Rotogrip systems. They have proven themselves not only for heavy vehicles and snow clearance but also for delivery work and transport under the Road Regulations for Hazardous Goods. These rotating chains – also known as spinning chains – can be brought into action electro-pneumatically from the driver's seat, while the vehi-cle is under way.

The ever smaller fitting space available around rear axles of new model vehicles has created a demand for rotating chains which require far less fitting space. With the Rotogrip CS, RUD meets the demands of customers and the commercial ve-hicle market. This new version requires substantially less space for fitting than the classic Rotogrip, which will continue to remain available in the snow chain manu-facturer's range.


Products & Services
Tire protection chains are used to reduce the danger of tire puncture from sharp rocks, heat, scrap metal or other hazards.
Unit handling conveyors are designed to handle packages, pallets, or any other unit format. They are used to transport large, discrete items that can be handled independently.
Silent chain or inverted-tooth chain features teeth on its links that engage the sprocket teeth. Silent chain can be wide and is used in a variety of power transmission and conveying applications.
Lifting and rigging attachments are used on a crane or hoist between the hook and the item to be lifted. Items include sling release systems, product specific lifters, clamps and grapples.
Chain drives use a chain connected between a sprocket at the transmission output and a sprocket attached to the rear wheel. Drive chains consist of a number of links that contain pins, rollers, bushings, and plates.
