MAXTRAX recovery boards being used on beach

MAXTRAX

MAXTRAX recovery boards set the standard for self-recovery in sand, mud, and snow: drive out of a stuck without a winch, a tow, or a second vehicle. Designed in Australia, they are trusted by Dakar competitors, expedition leaders, and military units.

The lineup runs from the original MKII to the harder-wearing XTREME, with the LITE as a more budget-friendly option and the compact Mini for smaller vehicles and motorcycles. Our parent company, Adventure Imports, has been the exclusive U.S. importer for nearly a decade, and MAXTRAX ships from our warehouse in Prescott, Arizona.

We also stock the full range of traction board mounts, spare tire mounts, and storage accessories. Check pin compatibility before you order — MKII pins fit the MKII, LITE, and Mini, while the XTREME takes its own pin set.
