Trygg tire chains are made in Norway by the family-owned Nøsted & group. The line covers tractors, construction machines and small vehicles such as ATVs. Clinton Tractor in Clinton, NY is a Trygg dealer.
Trygg says its tractor chains cover jobs from roading to forestry. They can be shortened or lengthened to fit new and worn tires.
Trygg builds its construction chains for high stress, with custom heat treatment and metal alloys, the maker says. It developed the range with construction contractors.
Trygg also makes fully floating chains for ATVs, mini diggers, lawn tractors and compact loaders.
Alf Nøsted founded the company in 1939 in Mandal, Norway. It is still family-owned, and Trygg is its tire chain brand. Trygg is the Norwegian word for safe.
Nøsted says it makes its products in Mandal, Kragerø and Lithuania, with research and testing at the Mandal head office.
