For Norway:
Missing chains 5000 NOK
Not using them when they should have been used is 11000 NOK

Please bring enough chains, that actually fit your truck...and trailer...

If you don't have them, you might get parked up...until the weather change...which might be in may.
Or, the police will make you buy massively overpriced chains from the recovery firms.

Keep a good bit of weight on the drive axle, especially if you have an euro-spec 4x2 and 3 axle trailer.

Not that I really care all that much, but it will make your trip lots better.


I know this is from 2011 but now we have control at the border crossings,or so they say,7 Chains are required on a typical Artic lorry,i see them every winter,same old companys stuck on a hill,in a corner going up or down the hill,same old problems,no chains,not enough chains,chains that dont fit,chains that have beed borrowed from a mate who is going south,makes me laugh,but its serious stuff,people do die every year due to lack of good chains,


I’m heading as far as Oslo next week it’s motorway all the way, I have the obligatory 2 sets, am I likely to need the complete 7 sets and what’s the likelyhood of getting checked at the border ?

It is still seven sets of chains you need, plus winter tyres on all axles. You might be unloading in Oslo, but whos to say you wont pick up a load to Tromsø there and so on. Afaik the checkpoint at Svinesund is open round the clock now and without chains and tyres you wont be going anywhere.
