MaxTrax Mini Recovery Boards - Black (Pair)
MaxTrax Mini Recovery Boards - Black (Pair)
The MaxTrax Mini is a pair of recovery boards that measure 25 x 13 x 3.5 inches and weigh 8.8 lb for the set. They run the same UV-stabilised, engineering-grade reinforced nylon as the full-size boards, and they keep the same 13-inch width and tread cleats. That matters: width and cleat pattern drive tire grip, so the Mini bites just as hard as a full board. What you give up is runway length, not traction.
The trade-off is honest. At 25 inches, the Mini gives less forward distance per placement than a 45-inch board, so it works best for moderate stucks and lighter rigs rather than deep-bog recoveries with a heavy truck. MaxTrax designs and warranties these for vehicles under 7,750 lb (3,500 kg). For smaller SUVs, crossovers, AWD wagons, ATVs and UTVs, the shorter board is the point - it fits where a full set won't.
Each board has two molded carry handles, a shovel edge at both ends for clearing dirt, and keyhole accessory points so you can mount them or link boards end-to-end with the MaxTrax Fixing and Linking Kit. The nylon is UV-stable, so it won't fade or go brittle in the sun, and the set carries a limited lifetime warranty. Made in Australia. Sold as a pair, in black.

Are the Minis enough board for a full-size truck?
They use the same 13-inch width and tread cleats as the full boards, so tire grip is identical. The 25-inch length gives you less runway per placement, so they're best for moderate stucks and lighter rigs. For deep bog under a heavy truck, the longer 45-inch boards are the better call.
What vehicle weight are they rated for?
MaxTrax designs and warranties them for vehicles under 7,750 lb (3,500 kg).
Will they fade or get brittle in the sun?
No. The nylon is UV-stabilised, so it resists fading and degradation from sun exposure. The set carries a limited lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship.
Can I join them to other MaxTrax boards?
Yes. The keyhole accessory points accept the MaxTrax Fixing and Linking Kit, so you can join boards end-to-end for more length or mount them on a rack.
How do I get the most grip without damaging them?
Ease the tire onto the board at low revs instead of spinning it. Hard wheelspin can overheat and melt the cleats - slow and steady puts the power down and protects the board.
Any maintenance?
Rinse off sand, grit, and mud after a recovery. The UV-stable nylon doesn't need sealing or treatment.
