ICE LUGS
R.F. Butler ice lugs maintain traction and stability when conditions turn against you. We offer three grades — High Carbon, Heat-Treated, and Chrom-X — to match any ice-lugging requirement, machine size, and budget.
Our bar is always hot-rolled, then cut or sheared to length. Many competitors' lugs are cast or forged, which introduces porosity and inconsistent hardness — two leading causes of premature failure. Every profile and grade can be cut to any length on request, and we stock pre-cut ice lugs in the most popular sizes for fast turnaround.
