    These guys' factory is WA based (Mandurah) and they've always been very friendly and helpful over here.

    I must admit that I actually drove out to them and didn't have to rely on sales staff to place an order. Might be worth giving Ken Johnston a call and telling him about the lack of action over east.

    They might even post you a set...

    MaxTrax

    MaxTrax work really well as a bridging ladder. I have used two sets placed on top of each other to support a fully loaded Unimog U500 and also used them with ISUZU NP300 and Mitsubishi campers.

    Yes they are a good product and yes there are instances where people insist on having their 'foot flat to the floor' and wheelspin, the same reason they got stuck in the first place. Yes this does melt the lugs and leaves a nice rubber layer behind as well. However a few choice words and they soon stop the wheelspinning and then drive out.

    Like most things, if people are trained how to use them properly, they work.Positioning them correctly as well as doing some work with a spade or the reverse side of the MaxTrax beforehand, works wonders,

    I have also used the rope tied to the MaxTrax to recovery them from soft sand and mud and also towed behind so I did not need to stop and recovery them. Again, an idea that works well in some situations and saves a lot of unnecessary stress.

    The nice thing about a set pf MaxTrax is that they are a 'self-recovery' device and anything that is self recovery is a far safer method of recovery in my books.

    Regards

    Treds and Mt are similar although the Treds Pro range look the bomb. Treads will get you up the ledge as a bridge but should be supported_rock or wood but MT need support or will bend. Cheers

    Thanks all, but the XTM are a third brand. It seems a nifty idea that they can be connected end to end. But I've never seen them in the flesh or know what they're made of or know anyone who's used them?

    I am about to do a solo trip on Fraser Island. I am thinking I will buy a set(pair) of MAXTRAX and as a back up cut up 2 milk crates.
    I am just trying to decide what colour. I was thinking the olive colour to match the Perentie but I think it might be harder to find. So I think I will go for a bright colour; pink, green or blue

    if you worried about losing them i the sand, just attach a rope to the maxtrax and the other end to your towbar, so you can drive off and "find them".
