How it Works

After flipping a switch on the dashboard a chain wheel is lowered so it contacts the inside of the tire. The contact between the tire and the rubber-covered chain wheel causes the chain wheel to rotate, creating enough centrifugal force to extend the chains out in front of and under the tire.

  • Driver flips the cab switch
  • Spinner wheel deploys chains under the tire
  • Continuous traction while driving forward

Reduce Winter Downtime & Labor Costs

  • No more pulling to the roadside to install chains or driving through inspection points
  • Fewer missed routes, delays, or stuck vehicles
  • Lower risk of slips, worker injuries, and liability
  • Helps maintain route schedules + service uptime

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you drive with automatic tire chains?

Automatic tire chains are designed for typical winter driving speeds. Most systems are safe up to 35 mph while engaged, and normal highway speeds when disengaged. They are not intended for high-speed use on dry pavement.

Are they compatible with my truck?

Most medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks (Class 6–8) can be fitted. Compatibility depends on axle type, suspension, tire size, and available mounting space.

Send us your VIN or chassis specs and we’ll confirm fit.

Do drivers need special training to use them?

 Training is minimal. The driver simply activates a switch in the cab. We provide on-site or remote training for shop staff and operators to ensure correct usage and maintenance.

Can they be installed on both single and dual axle setups?

 Yes. Systems can be configured for single or tandem drive axles, depending on traction needs and route conditions.

How does maintenance work?

 Maintenance is straightforward. Regular visual inspections and occasional chain replacement keep the system performing reliably. Mountain West Power Equipment provides parts and local service support.
