Overview
A pair of MAXTRAX MkII recovery boards in black. Each board is a 7.5-pound, 45-inch molded nylon ramp that gets a stuck 4WD, truck, or van moving again without a winch or a second vehicle.
Key features
- Sold as a pair: two boards plus two orange telltale leashes, 15 lb for the set.
- Molded from UV-stabilized, engineering-grade reinforced nylon; flexes to wrap a 33-inch tire without breaking.
- Six built-in carry handles per board and a shovel molded into each end for clearing terrain.
- Double-edged ramp design self-feeds under the tire at idle — no jacking, no spinning.
- Keyhole accessory points accept MAXTRAX mounting pins (sold separately) for roof- and bed-rack mounting.
Use cases
Self-recovery is the core job: bog down in sand, mud, or snow, wedge a board under each drive tire, and drive out. Because they stack to 3.5 inches and mount flat to a rack, most owners run them as permanent trail insurance rather than packing them only for known-rough trips. The end shovels also do double duty, digging out a tire before you even place the board.

Do I get one board or a pair?
A pair. The carton holds two MAXTRAX MkII boards plus two orange telltale leashes, which is what you want — one board under each drive tire.
What vehicles can the MkII handle?
The MkII suits 4WDs, trucks, vans, ATVs, UTVs, and even snowmobiles. If you run a very heavy rig or do frequent hard recoveries, the heavier-duty MAXTRAX XTREME is the step up.
Will they melt under my tires?
They can if you spin the tires. Wheel spin generates enough heat to melt the lugs. Engage low gear, accelerate gently, and let the board feed itself under the tire. Spin damage is not covered by the warranty.
Can I mount them on a roof or bed rack?
Yes. Each board has molded keyhole accessory points that accept MAXTRAX mounting pins (sold separately). The pins fit common racks from Front Runner, Rhino-Rack, Prinsu, and others.
Will the sun wreck them if I leave them mounted?
No. The boards are molded from UV-stabilized reinforced nylon, built to stay mounted outside through sun and weather without going brittle.
What's the warranty?
A limited lifetime warranty covers faults in materials and workmanship. Damage from wheel spin is excluded.
