Grab MAXTRAX from one of the six glove-friendly built-in handles and use either shovel on both ends to clear debris from underneath the chassis and tires, clearing a path for the vehicle to move forward. 2.) Attach your included MAXTRAX Tell Tale Leashes to allow easier retrieval in messy conditions. Pt. 2 3.) Once you've cleared away the debris, wedge either end of the MAXTRAX's dual ramps firmly against the tread face of your tire, as low as possible—ensuring the teeth are making good contact so you can take the easy way out with MAXTRAX. With one pair of MAXTRAX, try to put them under the front tires where possible—your back tires will run them over for additional traction. Two pairs of MAXTRAX allow for even faster recoveries. Pt. 3 4.) Shift into your lowest gear, and gently begin to accelerate while the MAXTRAX interlock with your tire tread. You'll begin to feel your vehicle being lifted UP and OUT of the mess you found yourself in. Where appropriate, continue driving to an area where you won't get stuck. Remember to always Tread Lightly. Pt. 4 There's no need to break traction by spinning your wheels, you'll just risk damage to your MAXTRAX and your tires and you won't get out any faster. ​ 5.) Grab your MAXTRAX by the Telltale Leashes and securely store them for transport.

  • Excellent recovery boards
Color: Black
These are the best recovery boards you can buy!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022 by Tom George

  • Solid
Color: Gunmetal Grey
I decided to purchase these after digging through reviews of lesser products. The price is steep for molded plastic. I haven’t used them for anything besides leveling the truck but I’ve blocked the boards up on and over large sticks. They flex but return to normal. I intend to purchase two more in the future. ... show more

  • Quality and service!
Color: Olive Drab
The boards speak for themselves, but what isn’t talked about as much is how awesome the company is. They truly stand behind their products and are eager to resolve any issues! Highly recommend Maxtrax for their quality AND service!

  • They work as advertised
Color: Black
After a major snow dump in December ‘21, local streets were barely passable, down to a single open lane with ice covered by snow. Neighbor’s 4WD heavy duty pickup truck (with full size chains on the rear tires)got stuck less than a few hundred yards away from his and our house - where the street slopes upwards toward a T intersection. Truck wouldn’t go forward or backward and would only slide sideways into snowbank upon application of throttle. We walked over to the stuck truck with a pair of our visiting daughter’s Maxtrax Mark II mats in hand, and after a little work positioning the mats under the rear wheels our neighbor was able to move uphill and get out of the jam in less than five minutes. With that demonstration, we ordered another pair for ourselves. They really do work, are worth the price, costing way less than the cost of a single tow and a couple hours wait time when everyone else is stuck too. ... show more

  • Could not Beleive How Soon Needed and How Well Worked on Rear Wheel Drive 15 Passanger Van
Color: Lime Green
I drive a rear-wheel drive 15 passenger van for a hot air balloon crew chase vehicle pulling a small trailer. On rare occasions the van gets stuck mostly on gravel or unmaintained roads after it rains. I purchased two sets of the Maxtraxs just days ago. Last night the van got stuck in deep powdery sand in a field. This was not the a wet muddy gravel road slipping tire situation I intended for the Maxtraxs. This was deep to the hub, off road real world stuck in the sand just like in the videos situation. Two sets of Maxtraxs, a decent shovel, 15 minutes and three attempts the van was unstuck and we were on our way again. I never expected to really need the Maztraxs. There is usually another vehicle around to pull the van far enough along a road to get traction again. I purchased as a backup just in case there was no other vehicle around. In this situation, short of a tractor the van wasn't going to be easily pulled out by another chase tuck or van. I see why these are so highly recommended recommended. These are very sturdy and yet flexible enough to handle the weight of the van in uneven ground. The cost stings. Is Maxtrax worth it? I knew nothing of recovery and extraction tracts a week ago so I could not say what is great, good enough or not good when I purchased the Maxtraxs. I could only judge based on reviews and videos that the Maxtraxs are the choice if money was not consideration and serious use was intended. I could not afford to try something just to have the product break and fail while customers were looking over the shoulder. Not in my business. I paid the extra cost because I figured either these will work or not. At no time did it appear as if using these tracts working was going to be a wing and a prayer. ... show more

  • Hope I never have to use them, but good cheap insurance
Color: Safety Orange
I do a fair amount of driving on marginal roads, mud and snow, often without anyone else along and outside of cell range. So far, I haven't gotten stuck, but it may just be a matter of time ;-). I looked into competing products that are cheaper, but finally concluded you get what you pay for, and when I may need these, I will NEED them, and don't want them to fail. I haven't used these yet but they seem very sturdy and well built for their function. I have a small SUV but am glad I decided to buy the larger sized trax, and they fit fine in the rear of my vehicle. Delivery was 2 days ahead of schedule, which I really appreciated. ... show more
