MAXTRAX Mini Recovery Boards - Pair, Olive Drab
MAXTRAX Mini Recovery Boards - Pair, Olive Drab
The MAXTRAX Mini is a pair of 25-inch recovery boards built for rigs that can't spare the space for full-size traction boards. Each board runs 25 in long, 13 in wide, and 3.5 in tall, and the pair stacks to just 3.5 in. That's short enough to slide behind a seat, under a cargo floor, or into a side-by-side bed where a 45-inch board has no chance of fitting.
The build is the same UV-stabilized, engineering-grade reinforced nylon MAXTRAX runs on its full-size boards, with 44 teeth sized for smaller tires. Wedge a board under a stuck tire, ease onto it, and the teeth bite to pull you out of sand, snow, or mud. Two built-in handles and a shovel edge at each end let you clear loose dirt and dig the board in fast. Keyhole accessory points mount the pair to a rack or alongside your full-size boards, and the handles line up with MKII and Xtreme boards so the Minis nest right behind a larger set.
The Mini is a loose-terrain tool: sand, snow, and mud where you just need a bite of grip to get rolling. For bridging deep ruts or lifting a rig off a skid plate, full-size boards still do more work. Olive drab finish. Lifetime warranty against cracking or breaking. Sold as a pair.

Use cases
Built for loose-terrain recovery — sand, snow, and mud where a bite of traction gets you rolling. The short length suits compact SUVs, crossovers, side-by-sides, and ATVs that can't store full-size boards. Many owners carry a Mini pair stacked behind their full-size boards for a four-board kit that fits the same cargo footprint.

Will the Mini boards stack and mount with my full-size MAXTRAX?
Yes. The Mini handles line up with MKII and Xtreme boards, so they nest behind a full-size pair. Keyhole points let you mount them alongside or separate from the bigger boards. To join boards end-to-end for a longer ramp, you'll need the MAXTRAX Fixing & Linking Kit, sold separately.
Are the Mini boards big enough to recover a full-size truck or SUV?
The Mini is built for loose terrain — sand, snow, and mud — where you just need a bite of traction to get moving. For deep ruts, bridging gaps, or lifting a vehicle off a skid plate, full-size boards do more. A lot of owners carry both and stack the Minis behind the big boards.
Do the traction teeth break off?
MAXTRAX backs the nylon against breaking, cracking, and stress-whitening with a lifetime warranty. The usual cause of broken teeth is wheelspin. Ease onto the board and let the tire grab and roll instead of flooring it.
What size vehicle is the Mini meant for?
Compact SUVs, crossovers, vintage 4x4s, side-by-sides, ATVs, and any rig short on cargo room. The 25-inch length and 3.5-inch stacked height fit where full-size boards can't.
How do I take care of them?
Rinse the grit off after sand or mud use so the teeth stay clean. The nylon is UV-stabilized, so storing them mounted outside won't degrade the material.
How many boards come in a set?
This is a pair — two boards. That's the standard recovery setup, one board per drive tire.
