Recovery tracks

Can't really answer your question, however I think you'll find tracks are a little used device here.

They seem to be popular in Europe for some reason. Occasionally they appear on o/s vehices traveling through Australia.

I'll be interesting to see if anyone has any thoughts as to why this is.

Our xtrax helped a 5 tonne truck get going from a predicament he got himself into in our next door neighbors yard the other day. He was slipping on wet grass down an incline. We hope we never have to use them (in fact we never have other than the truck), however the reason we chose these over the maxtrax is storage. The xtrax roll-up in their own easy carry bag. We also found them good as a leveler for a second fridge we carried on the back seat during a desert trip last year. Because they're flexible (unlike the maxtrax) they worked a treat.

Hope this helps

max trax have got me out of the poo 3 times now in both mud and sand ! I won't go anywhere without em!

we were stuck in a bog only 3 weeks ago east of Rowles Lagoon in the goldfields and the max trax got us out !

We purchased a pair of max trax, although they recommended we get two pairs. With eight wheels down (F250 and caravan) in the difficult to dig stones at Carawine Gorge, just the pair saved the day. I can't comment on the other brands.

I have a pair of grate mates and used them a few times to get others out of a bog.
They can also be used as a jacking plate

Here is a post on Matrax I did some time ago. And since then they have helped in several more beach recoveries :)

the bush ranger x trax were feild tested recently by a local mag and found to be almost completely innefective - just got spun out the back

alternative is a strip of conveyor belting. Lays flat in your tray until needed, costs about the equiv of a carton of beer and works great in sand!
