KWB 'Tempomatic Special' snow chains (pair) no. 1070

KWB (Kettenwerk Brückl) was established over 275 years ago at Brückl in Austria, and by the turn of the 20th century was a specialist in lifting chains, including anchor chain. KWB is now part of Austria's pewag group, and continues to design and manufacture a very wide range of chain products for sale worldwide. They're a very well known brand in the Alps, famous for their car and truck chains.

KWB's 'Tempomatic Special' is a top quality car chain, made from a nickel-manganese alloy steel. It's been designed for use with low profile tyres, with a shape which reduces the potential for touching and marking the alloy rims during use.

Other features:

• The chain is held on a cable hoop, out of sight behind the tyre in these pictures; the basic fitting system is the same as you'll find on almost all modern chains except for e.g. RUD's automatic chains.
• "Stationary fitting", i.e. no need to move the car during the fitting process.
• The links have a hammered flat "square section" which provides better traction and slightly quieter running.
• The chains are reversible for longer life, but when not more than 40% of any link section has been worn out on both sides, the chains should be recycled. It stands to reason that chain wear happens relatively quickly when used on tarmac.

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".
