MAXTRAX MKII Turquoise Made for the Beach Run
Turquoise is the colour built specifically for beach touring a genuine nod to every 4WDer whose recovery gear spends more time on sand than dirt. If beach permits, coastal camping, and soft sand recoveries are your thing, this is the MAXTRAX MKII colourway that fits right into that world.
It's still the same proven MAXTRAX MKII underneath, no shortcuts, no compromises, just a colour that suits the setting.
Why serious tourers run MAXTRAX MKII:
-
Aggressive cleat design – big, deep cleats bite into your tyre tread and the sand 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, 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 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 the tide turns and you 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 sand.
Not just for the beach. 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 onto the sand without a proper recovery plan. Grab a set of MAXTRAX MKII Turquoise and get back on track literally before the tide gets any closer.
6. FAQs
Q: Why is Turquoise marketed for the beach specifically? A: MAXTRAX designed this colour with beach touring in mind — it's a genuine nod to the coastal 4WD community, though the board itself performs exactly the same in mud, snow, or dirt as any other MKII colour.
Q: How much 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: Do I need one pair or two for beach recoveries? A: One pair (2 boards) covers a single-axle recovery, which is the standard setup for most beach touring. Heavier rigs or those regularly running soft, wet sand may want two pairs for extra traction on both drive axles.
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 handy for keeping wet, sandy boards out of your cargo space.
Q: What's actually in the box? A: Each set includes 2 MAXTRAX MKII boards (Turquoise) and 2 orange telltale leashes, so you can locate the boards if they end up buried in the sand during a recovery.
Q: Is this the full-size recovery board or a lightweight 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.
