Thread: Recovery Tracks

These things are handy but can spin out on rocks and things. Good in the sand and to put down in front of your other style to keep your momentum once you get moving. Very cheap and fold up well.

Moved to 'Recovery'.

This is what I have. Way better than either maxx tracks or their copies. Work well in sand or mud but they can be used to bridge holes too. Stronger, cheaper and much more useful than a light weight plastic piece of poo. IMHO of course

Rated at 1 1/2 ton per wheel
Looking at the photo of it mounting the curb its bent around the circumference of the wheel.
Imagine crossing a deep washout supported by each end. It would still bend around the wheel and the whole lot would disappear down the hole

Well they're not designed just to be supported at the very ends

I have found with mine if I have at least 4 squares overhang, I'm pretty right.

Absolute waste of money, just spend $10 and buy a dozen hessian bags, take up no room and weigh nothing. just 1/2 fill some with sand & chuck them under the wheels, never fails . But I suppose hanging hessian bags off the roof rack just would not look right when picking the kids up from school.

Those things have always proven an absolute failure in all recoveries we tried to use them...

Interesting assumption.... And fair enough - but I want them for mud - that bottomless mud..

The stuff my lad finds all the bloody time!

We could not keep a vehicle on the surface the other night... Tracks / planks would have saved hours of recovery time...
