The MAXTRAX MkII is a pair of recovery boards built to get a stuck rig moving in sand, snow, or mud. Each board runs 45 inches long with 88 molded teeth and three longitudinal beams, made from UV-stable, fiber-reinforced nylon that won't crack or stress-whiten with use. The pair weighs about 15 pounds, so they stash with the rest of your kit without eating into payload.
You use them simply: wedge a board against the tread of each driven tire, idle up in low range, and let the teeth pull the boards under the wheels. Six built-in handles make them easy to grab and position, and the shovel-shaped ends scoop away earth packed in front of the tires. The lime-green color is the loud one in the lineup, so the boards stay easy to spot once they sink into snow or sand.
This is the MkII generation, so the keyhole corners accept MAXTRAX mounting pins and linking straps (sold separately) for clean roof-rack carry. They run best with all-terrain or mud-terrain tread.
