Summer opening of Stelvio Pass

König quality and professionalism made possible the opening of Stelvio Pass

The opening of a mountain pass like the Stelvio is a task that usually requires several weeks of work, as well as professionalism.
For this reason, for so many years, König is the official partner for these activities.
After the closure of the pass at the end of October, reopening operations started about ten days ago while, for the definitive opening of the roads, we must wait until late May.
König professional chains, have fitted many vehicles these days as wheel loaders, cutters, Unimog used in snow removal operations.
In this occasion, König has also organized a field experience, this time reserved for German dealer, who had the opportunity to see König products engaged in the operations, appreciating the high quality. These chains, which may exceed the weight of a ton, have extremely high reliability. They are in fact fully cemented and zinced. They are also fully reversible, so that they can be used on both sides, ensuring maximum durability. They are also easily adjustable to the precise measurement of the professional tires, for which the wear normally creates large differences in diameter between a new tire and one already in use.
During the day, the group of dealers have also been engaged in a contest of skill and quick professional installation of snow chains on a Unimog. They also had the opportunity to appreciate the experience of getting on a snowmobile up to 3,450 meters.
