GoClaws®

Patented GoClaws® made from a high grade TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) from Advanced Traction Systems, Inc. (www.flextrax.com) are now being endorsed  by Alliance Polymers & Services (APS).  APS is the primary materials supplier and technical molding resource for the manufacture of GoClaws® and other related Advanced Traction Systems (ATS) company products.

The new injection molded plastic product is taking municipal, fire, police, ambulance, as well as private owners and operators, off-road enthusiasts, car and truck fleet companies, by storm.  GoClaws® tire chains are extremely durable. The patented product  is easy to install and works extremely well in snow, ice , mud and sand.  In recent tests by ATS, even after being driven on snow-covered and dry pavement more than 300 miles, the plastic tire chains continued to perform and showed little, if any, signs of wear.

Developed as a viable alternative to conventional, fast-wearing, noisy and difficult-to-install metal chains, GoClaws®  are the result of many years of design and development based on proven techniques of mechanical engineering, physics, material selection, advanced plastics molding and hydraulics.  Materials supplier Alliance Polymers & Services, a formidable TPE supplier, saw the potential of GoClaws®and invested heavily in the company in terms of providing material samples, beside-the-press advice and formulations, cost breaks on materials, and extensive technical support.

GoClaws® and other vehicular traction products are designed and manufactured by Advanced Traction Systems, Inc., Cleveland, TN.  Other company traction products are sold under the names Flex-Trax®, Snoboots® and SnoClaws®.  Features and benefits of the products include: snow or mud tires only when a user needs them; easy installation; no tools required; can be installed even when the vehicle is stuck; works in snow, ice, mud and sand; self-cleaning; self-tracking; easy on tires, wheels and the pavement; tough enough to be driven on dry pavement; lightweight; will not rust; durable; and competitively priced.

Alliance Polymers and Advanced Traction Systems proudly note that some of the most prominent distribution and retail outlets are testing and selling the new products.  A large portion of the success of the design is attributed to the high quality and unique durability of the thermoplastic polyurethane, a proprietary polymer which is distributed nationally by Alliance Polymers & Services.
