The invention relates to an anti-skid chain, in particular for forestry and agricultural vehicles. The anti-skid chain is to permit high traction, while it has a low weight and can be easily mounted. It should simultaneously be permitted for driving on roads. To enable this, an anti-skid chain to be attached to two wheels with tires disposed one behind the other at fixed distances, in particular for the two wheels of a tandem axle, is provided according to the invention. The anti-skid chain comprises two lateral, laterally stable guide chains which are located, in the mounted state, laterally of the tread of the tires. Between the two guide chains, a chain mesh with chain strands extends. Preferably, the chain mesh is subdivided into ladder sections which are only connected to each other via the guide chain. Joint points of the guide chains are located in a radial position between the radius of the tire shoulder and the tire center. The guide chains are in particular embodied as plate link chains.

The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the chain mesh comprises ladder sections which extend continuously from the one to the other guide chain. 4. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1 wherein the chain mesh comprises ladder sections having two strands connected to one another with track edges, the track edges extending in the circumferential direction. 5. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1 wherein the chain mesh is held together by the two lateral guide chains. 6. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the ladder sections extend in the circumferential direction over not more than the length of the tire contact patch in the circumferential direction. 7. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the two lateral guide chains are plate link chains. 8. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the two lateral guide chains comprise joint points which, in the mounted state, lie at least at the level of the radially outer end of the tire wall. 9. The anti-skid chain according to claim 8, wherein at least one guide chain is radially self-supporting. 10. The anti-skid chain according to claim 9, wherein the two lateral guide chains extend under their own weight at least in sections like the arc of a circle in a self-supporting radius. 11. The anti-skid chain according to claim 10, wherein the self-supporting radius is at least as large as the outer radius of the tire wall, taking into consideration the deformation by compression at the tire contact patch. 12. The anti-skid chain according to claim 10, wherein the self-supporting radius is at most as large as the radius of the tire center without taking into consideration the deformation by compression at the tire contact patch. 13. The anti-skid chain according to claim 10, wherein the two lateral guide chains comprise supporting elements against which adjacent links of the two lateral guide chains strike when tilted about a maximum joint angle. 14. The anti-skid chain of claim 10, wherein each lateral guide chain includes guide links separated by connecting links, wherein lateral forces cause the interference between the guide links and the connecting links, thereby providing lateral stability. 15. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the chain mesh restricts the distance between the two lateral guide chains to at least the width of the tire in the region of the tire contact patch. 16. The anti-skid chain according to claim 1, wherein the chain mesh is attached to fixing points at the two lateral guide chains and that the fixing points are located in the mounted state at least outside a tire contact patch at least at the level of the tire shoulder. 17. The anti-skid chain of claim 1, wherein the anti-skid chain is attached to two wheels with tires arranged at fixed distances. 18. Vehicle with two wheels with tires arranged one behind the other, characterized by the anti-skid chain according to claim 17. 19. The anti-skid chain of claim 1, wherein the lateral stability is provided by adjacent links interference with each other in the lateral direction. 20. The anti-skid chain of claim 19, wherein each guide link includes a step protruding in the lateral direction forming a shoulder and each shoulder faces away from the chain mesh, wherein the shoulder forms a support surface allowing the guide link to interfere with the rotation of the connecting link thereby providing radial stability to the lateral guide chains.
