3 A Swedish tradition since Gunnebo Industrier provides technology and products for companies in the industrial sector that enables them to operate lifting, securing and transportation at the highest level of safety and efficiency. By supplying innovative, high quality solutions and products, we add value both to our clients operations and their businesses. Gunnebo Industrier was founded in 1764. Originally it manufactured nails, belts, bolts and iron for the shipbuilding industry. By the 1850s screws and chains were added to Gunnebo s range of products. The company s operations gradually expanded to include lifting devices and with the spread of motor vehicles, traction chains as well. Today Gunnebo Industrier has a turnover of approximately 200 million euros and has operations in fifteen countries. Manufacturing is mainly based in the Nordic countries and the USA. Gunnebo Industrier s traction system division develops, produces and markets traction chains and tracks. Traction chains are made in Finland, while components are manufactured in Norway and Sweden. Tracks are produced in Scotland under the trade name of Clark Tracks. Gunnebo Industries is a world leader in the manufacturing of traction chains and tracks for forestry machines, tractors and trucks that are required to operate under the most extreme and demanding conditions.
4 FEATURES THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE Our highly effective and specialised technology provides the best traction and protection for forestry and construction machines wherever they are used in the world. Our traction chains come in two colours, blue and grey CONNECTING The ends of Megastud, Superstud and Supergrip are connected with plug couplings. BUTT WELDED U-STUDS The butt welded U-stud is one of our hallmarks at Gunnebo Industrier. It is heavy-duty (19 mm on 16 mm chains and 16 mm on 13 mm chains) and provides a wide ground contact area. THE RING BRINGS STABILITY Most of our forestry chains have a diamond pattern made of three links with extra strong rings connecting them. As the ring is always thicker than the chain (19 mm ring for 16 mm chain and 16 mm ring for 13 mm chain), the 3-link offers extra stability preventing twisting and making sure the stud is kept in place. SIDE PROTECTION The smaller lateral mesh of the TS-chain provides extra side protection making it suitable for machines working in rough, stony terrain. If you are looking for maximum protection for your tyres, Superstud 130TS and Supergrip 130TS are your best choices. SCREW COUPLING As an alternative to the plug coupling, we can now offer screw couplings in sizes 13 and 16. The screw coupling has an Allen screw that locks the link. NEW
5 MEGASTUD Extreme grip and the best protection. We regard Megastud as our flagship. With Megastud you get the best protection for your tyre and superb grip in all situations. Simply a mega good solution! MEGASTUD 160TS Gunnebo Megastud provides an extremely good grip due to double 19 mm butt welded U-studs. It offers very good protection against sharp rocks and stumps thanks to the small pitch of the pattern and the additional chain on the tyre sidewalls. Tension chain is standard. DOUBLE STUDS Megastud has, apart from a large number of single U-studs, double butt welded U-studs as well, providing unbeatable grip. Case hardened steel 19 mm U-stud 16 mm chain Double stud

14 MANUFACTURING Nordic traditions create unique qualities. Gunnebo Industrier AB is one of the world s largest manufacturer of traction chains for forestry machines and tractors. The main factory is located near Åbo in Finland. The components are manufactured at three locations in Scandinavia. Gunnebo Industrier s traction chains are made of a specially developed Nordic micro alloy case hardened boron steel in diameters up to 19 mm. After cleaning process, the material is bent into chains in link machines and is then passed to the link welder. The link joint is heated electrically and is then pressed together under high pressure. If the links are to get studs, the same welding method is used the parts are heated and pressed together, resulting in an extremely strong weld joint. Based on individual design specifications, the chains are cut, assembled and welded to the required type and size. Finally, the chains are case hardened for several hours at 900 degrees C in special controlled ovens. During this process, extra carbon atoms are added which results in a chain surface that is extremely hard and durable. extremely hard and durable
