Maggi RAPID-MATIC V5 4x4 chains (pair) no. MG115

Maggi's Rapid Matic V5 chains, supplied in pairs, are made from heavy duty components to cope with the substantial traction forces and load weights associated with powerful 4x4s and light commercial vehicles. The square section chain links (4.5mm) are made of core hardened, galvanised steel (15Mn3A1) which provides a market-leading mix of grip, strength and wear resistance.

The vulnerable tensioning and locking components are also well up to the task. For example, the self-locking tensioning ratchet features a closed frame which is strong enough to be driven over without being crushed. This matters, because when you come to take the chains off it's surprisingly easy to drive over the tensioning ratchet. If this happens when driving on hard surfaces, e.g. ice or tarmac, a ratchet which is not up to the task will deform, trap the chain, and leave you stranded if you haven't got a hacksaw or bolt cutters... Other specifications and features:

• Rhomboid design chain pattern to give good lateral grip as well as good traction.
• The square section links exert good pressure on ice and are proven to give a better grip between the tyre and the chain than e.g. round links, especially when driving on uneven ground when the tyre is constantly changing shape.
• The connector which joins the two ends of the cable together and is then pushed behind the wheel is designed so that it won't jam tight when stressed, and for ease of use in all weather conditions, e.g. it works well even when iced up.
• Rapid Matic V5s are supplied in a plastic case together with a set of plastic gloves, spare links and a laminated instruction sheet for better durability.
• Normal required clearances: 12mm inside the tyre, 16mm on the tyre tread.

Maggi is a very long established family business, based in Italy, a world leader in chain technology, employing some 250 people and with representation in 65 countries. Their entire manufacturing process is certified to UNI EN ISO 9001. Visit the Maggi web site.

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".
