Instructions For Use

Please read these instructions carefully before using MAXTRAX.

Step 1

When your vehicle fails to proceed, STOP and retrieve MAXTRAX.
Clear debris and obstructions from around tyres and underbody components. MAXTRAX may be inverted and used as a shovel.

 

Step 2

Wedge MAXTRAX firmly against the tyre tread in front or both front tyres if attempting to drive forward or behind both rear tyres if attempting to reverse. Ensure MAXTRAX are square to the tyre tread and pointing in the intended direction of immediate travel.

 

Step 3

 

Step 4



Clear the area of personnel and climb back into the vehicle.

Step 5



Engage low ratio first gear and gently accelerate. AVOID WHEEL SPIN!

Step 6



If tyres do not immediately grip MAXTRAX and pull them underneath, STOP, reposition MAXTRAX (ensuring both are firmly wedged against the tyre treads) and try again. AVOID WHEEL SPIN!

Once the tyres gain traction, maintain momentum until the vehicle reaches firm ground. Repeat procedure if necessary.

Step 8
Retrieve MAXTRAX.

 

Note



Clear the area of personnel before attempting to drive out. Do not use on hard or rocky ground. Avoid wheel spin which may damage or cause damage to peron or property.

MAXTRAX Features

Make MAXTRAX Your Stowaway for Emergency Vehicle Extraction!

MAXTRAX is the lightweight, handy vehicle extraction device that fits in your 4WD ensuring an easy way out if your vehicle encounters a boggy situation.

  • MAXTRAX is the perfect fit for every outing. Measuring just 1150mm long X 330mm wide, each set of MAXTRAX stacks together at a height of just 85mm. MAXTRAX stows easily with the rest of your day tripping, camping, or picnicking gear.
  • Each MAXTRAX weighs just 3.6kg. MAXTRAX is easy to carry and manoeuvre under your tyres with minimum effort.
  • Keep vehicle recovery equipment to a minimum with MAXTRAX. You can even use MAXTRAX upside down as a shovel to remove excess material from around your tyres.
  • MAXTRAX takes the drama out of getting stuck. The large cleats on MAXTRAX sink their teeth into the tyre tread and the terrain under your 4WD vehicle to prevent it from slipping back into mud, snow, or sand and make vehicle recovery quick and easy.
  • Made of UV stabilised, flexible, super tough engineering-grade reinforced nylon, MAXTRAX provides traction and a firm base to get your vehicle quickly back on track.

Whether you're retrieving your boat from the water, or your 4WD vehicle out of boggy mud, sand or snow, MAXTRAX is the vehicle extraction tool that can make vehicle recovery quicker and easier than most other vehicle recovery devices on the market today.
