Spikes-Spider Easy ALPINE PRO - size SPEAP1

The Spikes-Spider Easy ALPINE PRO is a development of the ALPINE PRO commercial snow chain; the ALPINE PRO is widely acknowledged to be the most complete 4x4 and light commercial snow chain system available – fastest to fit and remove, suitable for limited clearances (both behind and above the wheel), resizable, rust free, and of course with outstanding performance.

The Easy ALPINE PRO has all the same features but, instead of being fitted to a pre-fitted hub plate, is fitted to two unobtrusive fix clips. There are only 5 different sizes and, with at least 220mm of adjustability, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to take these chains from vehicle to vehicle, making them exceptional long term value. All parts are available as spares, and worn components are easily replaced.

We want to emphasise one aspect of Spikes-Spider Easy chains that really makes a difference when compared to competitor chains. This is reliability, which means safety, which is where the Spikes-Spider twin fix clip system is really important. The weakness of all the other brands of ladder track chain is the single fix clip fixing (the Swiss manufacturer of Spikes-Spider created this whole product group and patented the use of more than one fix clip) – our experience is that cornering forces in particular have been sufficient to break single clip fixings.

Product summary:

• Sold in pairs
• Swiss engineering, Swiss quality, suitable for all rims and for all vehicles up to 5 tonnes laden weight
• Fits on the outside of the wheel – suitable for conventional snow chain “No fits” as well as where there is insufficient space in the wheel arch to fit traditional chains
• Innovative fast fitting two wheel bolt fastening system for reliability
• 5 sizes cover all wheel sizes; each size has a minimum 220mm of adjustability
• 17mm, 19mm and 21mm fix clips are included; 22mm and 24mm fix clips are available as accessories
• Both the chain and the tracks are made of stainless steel; the tracks include ice gripping pressure points, and are shaped to improve lateral stability
• Good for temperatures as low as -35℃
• Supplied in a smart carrying bag, with all tools included
• Approved by the German TÜV and Austrian ÖNORM

Summary: The Easy ALPINE PRO is not in fact quite as quick or easy to fit as the standard ALPINE PRO, but you don't need a pre-fitted hub plate. The Easy ALPINE PRO is cheaper than the ALPINE PRO, and for sure the Easy ALPINE PRO is a better all round 4x4 and commercial chain than any of its competitors. We're so confident about Easy ALPINE PRO that we'll even exchange used Easy ALPINE PRO for any other brand of ladder track chain that we sell! (We also sell Maggi TRAK and Thule K-Summit; the usual terms of our 90 day exchange scheme will apply.)

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

There are two parts to our snow chains offer this year:

(1) Clearance prices on many top branded snow chains, including RUD and Thule - an amazing opportunity for those who are quick off the mark! Thule (who are the biggest brand in the car racks market) have sold their snow chains division; the same chains are now being sold under the König brand. Thule branded chains have the same specifications as the König branded versions - all that has changed is the name on the chain and the name on the box.

(2)   Multibuy discounts - significant discounts if you buy two pairs of snow chains at the same time, or one pair of chains and one pair of AutoSock: If you do either of these things, we will discount the snow chains as follows:

• König, Polaire and Spikes-Spider snow chains - at least 10% off!
• INNO, Maggi, RUD and Thule snow chains - at least 20% off! Up to 30% off where we have large overstocks.

As usual, you change the quantities in the Shopping Basket.

Many customers will, for example, use snow chains on their driving wheels for Alpine use, and use AutoSock on the non-driving wheels, especially if these are the steering wheels. Also note that AutoSock work very well in very wet snow, even on slush, where snowchains are often not suitable because they can't get any grip in the snow. So having both AutoSock and snowchains makes sense from at least two different perspectives.
