Thread: Recovery Tracks

Saw waffle style traction board used for bridging on youtube, only down side is they are very heavy.

The fibreglass matting should be fairly readily available one would think, and cheap too. This could also be purchased from recyclers too I think. Sort of wish I'd seen this thread earlier.

We ended up getting Treads, as you can bridge with these, but not the MaxTrax. $100 cheaper too

I've been looking for them but cant find any at reasonable price.

I'd bridge with the MaxTrax before I bridged with Treads, but that's just me

What if you foam filled them? Being hollow it'd have to add some rigidity to it.

Hello again from Brisbane.

I happened to be re-reading the SA 4X4 mag the other night and it was the Maxtrax units that came out as judged best overall, including for a bridging test (one wheel going over a stacked pair).

Anyway, if there is any interest, and it doesn't contravene some copyright law, I could scan the article and post it up here. The testing was pretty rigorous from what I saw of it.

Cheers,

These are a maxtrax copy I carry in my work Ute, got them from my local supplier of "Iron man " products $190 as you can see they been field trialled and work well far cheaper than the genuine item
