Vehicle recovery devices.

[MEGOMONSTER]

My wife is doing some research on maxtrax type items to use as alternative ramp extensions.
Can everyone please tell me brand names of these devices.


Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Traction device maybe?

Supercheap have / stock them also and double as a shovel when turned around . Cut up some plastic pallets , heaps cheaper and will do the same thing .

My Maxtrax

The design has changed a bit and they've added rope.

Maxtracks or tread boards or get bread crates and cut up to suit

I need brand names for research not for my truck. But for car carriers as the ramps are a little steep for some cars. She researching light weight alternatives, and I suggested maxtrax. But I am unsure of others brands on the market.

Maybe these might be a better idea and yes I know you're looking for brand names but I don't know any other than Tried or maxtrax

A mate has those an i borrowed them once took them, digging and a double line pull to get out

None of these re rated for a spanning Ramp mate. From what i can gather you after something that will span with end support both ends only? These will all let you down unfortunately.

Go the Alloy folding ones from Super Cheap of others that are designed as a ramp.
