Maxtrax MKII Recovery Boards

Australian-made vehicle recovery boards for sand, mud and snow

Maxtrax MKII are Australian-designed and manufactured vehicle recovery boards used by 4WD travellers for self-recovery in sand, mud and snow. The reinforced pin design bites into tyres to provide traction, and the flexible nylon construction is designed to handle extreme temperatures.

Our Verdict

Maxtrax were developed in Australia for Australian conditions. The MKII features reinforced pins that engage with tyre treads for traction, a flexible nylon construction rated to handle extreme temperatures and a bright orange colour that is easy to locate in sand or mud. The manufacturer rates them for vehicles up to 4500kg. The MKII incorporates an updated pin design compared with the original Maxtrax. Sold as a pair with a lifetime warranty.
