    One thing about the Aldi recovery tracks is Yes you get two, but I think they are 1/2 the length of Maxtrax or treds, so in reality you really need to buy 2 packs.

    I have found these online and look to be of good value. Diss and Dat | RECOVERY TRACKS FOR 4WD OFFROAD - PAIR

    They're 1110 long, maxtrax 1200 long. Despite some suggesting they're rubbish, they're still better than nothing and almost 1/2 regular price of maxtrax. I've always found aldi stuff to be ok quality although I'm concerned about the electric scissor jack I bought the other day. May take it back yet.
    Not a back website that Diss and Dat one. Amazing how well copyright/ patent laws work, eh? Come up with a good idea and every mongrel copies it and there's goes your next million bucks

    Hi

    I notice that Repco have these on sale again and IMO they are a bargain

    4WD Recovery Tracks | Repco | Lasoo Online Catalogues

    I bought some a while ago and they work well, on the Evoque stuck on Stockton beach anyway

    I like the way they roll up to save space

    I too bought a 12V scissor jack from Aldi and so far it seems fine!

    Roll up recovery tracks

    I bought some of the roll up recovery tracks and they were useless when you are really stuck deep in the sand - tyres just pulled them through and spat them out the back. Bought the real deal maxtraxx and they are worth every cent

    This is what happens to Tredz when you put too much load on them. Possibly misused, but even if covered by warranty, a lot of good that will do you when in the middle of the desert/cape/snow!




    Photos from the destructive testing of Maxtrax performed by the University of Queensland Materials Sciences Lab. Many don't understand that these were designed by Australian engineers and thoroughly tested, with enhancements made of a number of years - not just someone with a paper sketch who went to a plastic moulder and said knock me up some of these!














    Last edited by Ranga; 24th October 2013 at 01:08 PM. Reason: Added photos of maxtrax after weight was applied. You can now see how they return to almost their original shape.
