MAXTRAX Lite Recovery Boards — Lightweight 4WD Recovery, Australian-Made
The Lightest Recovery Board MAXTRAX Has Ever Built
When every kilogram counts on a remote track, the MAXTRAX Lite Recovery Boards give you the legendary MAXTRAX performance you trust — now 48% lighter than the MAXTRAX MKII. At just 1.8kg per board, these are the go-to 4WD recovery boards for overlanders, weekend warriors, and solo adventurers who refuse to compromise between weight savings and real-world reliability.
Designed and manufactured in Australia, the MAXTRAX Lite shares the same performance DNA as the MKII and MAXTRAX Extreme — built to conquer sand, mud, rock, clay, and everything the Australian outback throws at you.
Why Off-Roaders Choose MAXTRAX Lite
48% Lighter. Same MAXTRAX Toughness. Constructed from advanced impact-resistant thermoplastic, MAXTRAX Lite is engineered for serious recovery scenarios without the bulk. Perfect for compact 4x4s, roof rack setups, or any build where weight matters.
66-Tooth Aggressive Traction Pattern The purpose-engineered 66-tooth grip pattern bites hard into loose sand, thick mud, clay, and slippery terrain — getting your tyres moving faster than any generic recovery track on the market.
Patented Double Ramp Design The industry-leading double ramp profile makes placement under a buried tyre effortless — even when you're stuck solo in the middle of nowhere. No guesswork. No frustration. Just recovery, fast.
Built-In Shovel Ends Each board features integrated shovel ends so you can dig out packed sand or mud before placing the boards — a detail that makes all the difference in deep recovery situations.
Stackable, Low-Profile Storage The slim-stack design saves precious storage space on your vehicle. Pair with MAXTRAX Mounting Pins (sold separately) to mount directly to your board, roof rack, or rear door — always within reach.
