Get Unstuck in Style MAXTRAX MKII Pink Recovery Boards
Getting bogged doesn't care what colour your tracks are but you can. The MAXTRAX MKII Pink is the same bulletproof recovery board that's dragged tens of thousands of 4WDs out of sand, mud and snow across this country, just finished in a colour that actually stands out against red dirt and green scrub.
Don't let the colour fool you. This is a genuine recovery tool built for serious touring, not a novelty. If you're heading remote beach tracks, high country, the Simpson, or just the local dunes on the weekend, this is gear that has to work first time, every time.
Why serious tourers run MAXTRAX:
-
Aggressive cleat design – big, deep cleats bite into your tyre tread and the terrain underneath, stopping wheel spin dead so you drive out instead of digging deeper.
-
Engineering-grade reinforced nylon – UV-stabilised and flexible enough to work in extreme heat or cold, tough enough that University of Queensland testing had them wrap fully around a 33-inch tyre without failing.
-
Built to carry, not just carry you – 3.4kg per board (6.8kg the pair), so they pack into the tourer or ute tray without eating your payload.
-
Double-edged, no wrong way up – grab them and go, no fumbling around working out orientation while you're stuck axle-deep with the tide coming in.
-
Six built-in handles + integrated shovel ends – dig out excess sand or mud and get the boards seated properly before you plant your foot.
-
Keyhole mounting points – set up a proper flat mount on your roof rack, bar work, or canopy instead of throwing them loose in the back.
-
1150mm L x 330mm W x 85mm H per pair when stacked – compact enough to live permanently in the vehicle, so they're there when you actually need them.
Aussie-made, backed for life. MAXTRAX are designed and manufactured in Australia and come with a lifetime warranty against faulty materials and workmanship. Each pack includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can find them again if they get buried in the recovery.
Not just for 4WDs. Sand, mud, snow MAXTRAX MKII works just as well recovering ATVs, UTVs, caravans and camper trailers as it does your Cruiser or Hilux.
Don't head off the black top without a proper recovery plan. Grab a set of MAXTRAX MKII Pink and get back on track literally in seconds, not hours.
Note: This is the current-run pink shade and will not exactly match the pink MAXTRAX purchased before May 2020.
FAQs
Q: How much weight can MAXTRAX MKII actually pull out? A: MAXTRAX MKII is rated for use across the full range of 4WDs, utes, caravans, camper trailers, ATVs and UTVs The nylon construction has been independently tested at the University of Queensland to wrap fully around a 33-inch tyre without breaking, which gives you a real margin over a stuck, spinning wheel.
Q: Will the pink colour fade or wear out faster than the standard colours? A: No, MAXTRAX MKII Pink uses the same UV-stabilised, engineering-grade reinforced nylon as every other MKII colourway. The colour doesn't affect the material's toughness or warranty coverage.
Q: Do I need one pair or two? A: One pair (2 boards) covers a single-axle recovery, which is the standard setup for most 4WD touring. Some remote or heavy-vehicle setups run two pairs (4 boards total) for extra traction on both drive axles worth considering if you're regularly running heavy loads through soft sand or deep mud.
Q: Can I mount these to my roof rack or canopy? A: Yes. MAXTRAX MKII has exclusive keyhole accessory points built in, which work with a flat mounting kit to bolt the boards securely to a roof rack, bar work, or canopy, keeping them out of your cargo space and ready to grab in seconds.
Q: What's actually in the box? A: Each set includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards (Pink) and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can locate the boards if they end up buried during a recovery.
Q: Is this a genuine recovery board or a lightweight/novelty version? A: It's the full MKII spec, same dimensions (1150mm x 330mm x 85mm), same 3.4kg per board weight, same nylon construction and lifetime warranty as every other MKII colour. Only the colour is different.
