Maxtrax Extreme

MAXTRAX XTREME is manufactured in Australia using our secret recipe; a heavy-duty, super-tough, engineering-grade reinforced Nylon; the same amazing material that we’ve made MAXTRAX MKII from for almost a decade. All 88 alloy teeth are hard-anodized to protect against corrosion in harsh, saltwater, or muddy environments. As the alloy is significantly harder and more durable than the rubber compound found in tires and also more resistant to wear from a spinning tire than any polymer available today, you can expect faster, more secure engagement with the tire’s tread pattern, which not only makes MAXTRAX XTREME the most-durable recovery track on the market but also the fastest. MAXTRAX XTREME alloy teeth are also easily repairable in the field. If a tooth gets damaged, simply flip the board over and use a T-50 Torx bit to remove and replace the damaged tooth.

MSRP: $397.99

Kinetic Rope

The MAXTRAX Kinetic Ropes are designed, as their name suggests, to be the kinetic element during a vehicle recovery. The MAXTRAX KINETIC ROPES produce increased kinetic power compared to flat snatch straps, with up to 30% elongation providing a smoother, safer dynamic recovery. Joining the different length ropes provides flexibility to make kinetic ropes suitable in length to your specific recovery scenario.

MSRP: $69.99

Static Winch Rope

The MAXTRAX WINCH ROPE is a metal-free replacement winch rope and is designed as a safe alternative to steel winch cable, or synthetic winch rope with a metal hook or a metal thimble. Equipped with reinforced loops at both ends, the MAXTRAX WINCH ROPE can also be removed from the winch drum and used as a Static Extension rope if required.

MSRP: $219.99

Fuse Shackle

Made from Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight-Polyethylene and Polyester, the MAXTRAX FUSE Shackle is designed to be the sacrificial weakest link in the comprehensive MAXTRAX Recovery System and should exclusively be used with this system. Whereas the MAXTRAX Core Shackle is designed for general use, the FUSE Shackle features a lower and highly precise Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS) of 15,432 lbs (7000 kg) as to prevent damage to recovery points and recovery straps which may bear a lower MBS than a traditional soft shackle.

MSRP: $29.99
