New game changer for tracks on ice? (CFT or Chains For Tracks)

No experience but if they are chains what do they do to pavement/concrete?

They should come in bright day glow colors, it would make it much easier to find them.

"Uneffects drivability"???
Sounds like a former Indian telemarketer wrote their video text.
I think they meant to say "enhances drivability"?
I think the clamp on idea, isn't gonna hold up.
Need to secure the ends together on the bottom too. Which probably interferes with the sprockets,bogies.

Or drivability unaffected.

I'm not sure that's a product you would need to have made in China. In fact it looks extremely simple for just about anybody to make in their garage. I'm kind of shocked nobody has tried this before. It's just a short length of chain with a hook on each side and a nut and bolt welded to it.

It's a super clever idea.

I don't know if it would throw chains or not. The ground pressure is pretty low on tracks. I would be more worried about what it would do to the ride then throwing chains. With a rigid undercarriage CTL I would imagine going over those chains is pretty bumpy unless there's enough of them.

Well,Trak-bites been around for over 15 years, and Pro-Lynx a few years, and they clamp on rigidly. Probably are others out there. Most here do commercial, so using such on paved surfaces would not be acceptable. Perhaps for a farmer or Harry Homeowner they would be O.K. for intermitten use.
