Vehicle Recovery Boards

Our pick

MAXTRAX MKII

The MAXTRAX MKII is the recovery board to buy here, and at 3.4 kilograms it is light enough to carry to a stuck wheel.1

Why this one

  • Its 1,150 mm length is a dimension to check against your vehicle’s storage space.1
  • It uses reinforced nylon teeth; that material does not establish that spinning a tyre on the board is safe.2
MAXTRAX MKII

For boards that carry easily to the stuck wheel

Weight per board decides how easily a pair reaches the stuck wheel, and 3.5 kilograms is the ceiling.1 The MAXTRAX MKII comes in under that ceiling at 3.4 kilograms a board.1
