Uni-Move gets through

Tuesday, 11 September, 2007

Described as a revolutionary new traction chain, the Uni-Move has been introduced by Pewag to meet demands for improved traction for military offroad vehicles. Displayed on Stand 1873, Uni-Move has been tested by numerous European military units and it is now in serial production.

The trials have proved that Uni-Move does indeed provide better traction, with the added benefit of lower weight and 20 per cent greater durability than comparable products. Pewag has achieved these advances by applying several innovations. For example, durability is enhanced by the chain links, using a rectangular cross-section that results in a wave-profile to provide additional grip on ice and snow.

The Uni-Move tread net covers the entire surface of the tyre and incorporates a newly developed closing hook designated the MVX7, which ensures easy handling and reliability in the heaviest conditions. Uni-Move is promoted as a future alternative to Pewag’s products that are in service with the armed forces of Canada, France, Germany, the UK, Belgium, Poland, Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands.
