Spring Tire Chains Tensioner
May 28, 2023
A spring tire chains adjuster is a tensioning device that uses a coiled spring mechanism to keep tire chains tight and secure on vehicle tires. The spring maintains consistent pressure, preventing chains from loosening or shifting during operation.
These adjusters typically feature interconnected links or bars with hooks that attach to the side chains of your tire chains. The coiled spring flexes with tire movement, absorbing shocks and vibrations while maintaining even tension—helping your chains stay in place on snowy or icy roads.
Spring tire chain adjusters are quick to install and work with a variety of tire sizes and chain configurations. Depending on the model, they can be used for light-duty vehicles, trucks, heavy equipment, and agricultural machinery. Popular options include:
- Spring Tensioners for Garden Tractors, ATVs & Snowblowers (up to 14″ rims)
- Spring Tensioners for Trucks & SUVs (up to 32″ tires)
- Large Truck, Skid Steer & Tractor Spring Adjusters (33″–48″ tires)
- Heavy-Duty Spring Adjusters for Large Tractors & Loaders
For best results, follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and check your adjusters regularly for wear. Proper care—such as cleaning off road salt and storing in a dry place—will extend their life and maintain performance.
