FOR FORKLIFTS

The perfect solution for combined indoor and outdoor driving during winter. AutoSock for forklifts has a reinforced traction fabric, optimized for lower speeds and higher wheel loads. The textile construction does not damage surfaces and protects sensitive floors from tyre scratchmarks. There are 7 AutoSock sizes that cover important forklift and industrial tyres.

HIGHEST PRODUCT QUALITY IN ALL COMPONENTS

1 of 2
  • Front Fabric

    The woven and coated net stabilizes the entire AutoSock and prevents snow or debris from gathering between the tyre and the road contact fabric.

  • Straps

    The straps give the snow sock its signature look. They assist mounting and demounting the product and add stability.

  • Road Contact Fabric

    The unique fabric construction, provides a long product life and an outstanding friction. The arranged fibres facilitate the textile to absorb any water between the ground and the tyre, thereby maximizing the dry friction grip.

  • Inner Fabric

    Usually used for high quality parachutes, the inner fabric holds AutoSock in position, assures proper fit on the tyre and supports the black elastic strap to reach its ideal position behind the tyre for optimal tension.

  • Elastic

    The elastic keeps the tyre sock in position, supports self-centering and assures stable fit to the tyre. The combination of tenacity, elongation force and elasticity for best performance was evaluated in extensive tests during the development of AutoSock.

THE TEXTILE SNOW CHAIN FROM ALL PERSPECTIVES

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Textiles tend to stick to dry snow and ice. The arranged fibres, used for the road contact fabric of AutoSock, facilitate the textile to absorb and ‘wick away’ any water between the ground and the tyre, thereby maximizing the dry friction grip. Each thread of the road contact fabric consists of more than 100 fine high-performance fibres, which lead to a “hairy” surface of the AutoSock traction fabric. These “hairs” penetrate the slippery water film and connect the tyres directly to the surface (snow). With correct use, AutoSock becomes “hairier” and even improves performance over time.
