RUD Centrax chains (pair) no. 4716731 (recode from 15547)

The Centrax is RUD's fastest and easiest fitting chain. You'll see that the all the chain is on the face of the tyre, which is why it's often the only chain which RUD approve for vehicles which have a "No fit" for traditional chains. ("No fit" usually suggests, for example, that when the wheel is on full lock there's a strut or brake pipe which would be damaged by the chain that covers the inside of the tyre.)

Fitting the Centrax is easy:

• You start off by fitting a special wheel bolt adapter to each driving wheel. (Hopefully you'll have done this at home, intending to leave these permanently in place during the winter months.)
• Place a Centrax over each wheel and clip it to the adapter
• Operate the lever assisted strap device which applies the necessary force on the tension arms to hold the chain in place.
• Get back in the car and drive off. The Centrax wind themselves into place when the wheels starts to turn
• It really is this simple!

Other features:

• Centrax are supplied in a strong smart space saving ballistic nylon bag, triangular in shape so it fits snugly behind the back seat
• 17mm and 19mm wheel bolt adapters are supplied as standard with each set of Centrax. These fit almost every car on the market, but bigger sizes are also available - please make a note in the online Comments box if you need a bigger size

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".
