MAXTRAX Mini Traction Boards (Desert Tan, Pair)
MAXTRAX Mini Traction Boards (Desert Tan, Pair)
The MAXTRAX Mini is a pair of 25-inch recovery boards in desert tan, sized for rigs and storage spaces where full-length boards won't fit. You get two boards in the box — one for each drive tire. Each board runs 25 inches long by 13 inches wide and weighs 4.4 lb, so the pair is 8.8 lb of recovery gear that still slides behind a seat or under a cargo floor. The two boards stack to a 3.5-inch profile for storage.
Each board is molded from UV-stabilised, engineering-grade reinforced nylon with aggressive cleats that bite tire tread on one side and dig into sand, mud, or snow on the other. Built-in handles make them easy to grab and set, and there's a shovel edge at either end for clearing packed dirt away from a buried tire before you place the board. Keyhole accessory points let you mount the pair flat against a rack or wall.
The Mini trades length for packability, so on a deep, long bog you'll reposition more often than you would with full-size boards. It links to any MAXTRAX board with the separate Fixing & Linking Kit if you need to extend your traction run. Backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Is this one board or a pair?
It's a pair — two boards in the box, one for each drive tire. That's the standard setup for getting a stuck vehicle back onto firm ground.
How is the Mini different from full-size MAXTRAX?
The Mini is shorter (25 inches versus roughly 45) and lighter, so it fits tight cargo spaces and smaller rigs. The trade-off is fewer feet of traction per placement, so on a long, deep stuck you'll reposition the boards more often.
What vehicles is the Mini meant for?
Smaller 4WDs, SUVs, vans, UTVs, and ATVs — anywhere full-size boards won't fit or are more board than you need.
Can I link these to my full-size MAXTRAX boards?
Yes. With the separate Fixing & Linking Kit you can join the Minis to any MAXTRAX board to extend your traction run.
Will the sun degrade them?
The nylon is UV-stabilised for long exposure. Even so, don't spin the tires or drive at speed across the cleats — friction heat is what damages the teeth, not sunlight.
How do I keep them in good shape?
Rinse off sand and grit after a recovery so it doesn't grind into the cleats, and use gentle, steady throttle on the boards rather than gunning it.
