We’re a household name in the 4WD industry, with well over a decade of experience in producing the world’s best recovery tracks.
Brad McCarthy, author of Dirty Weekends “The Essential 4WD Guides”, devised the idea for MAXTRAX in 2001 after a particularly stressful incident on a remote north Queensland beach where he almost lost his bogged vehicle to the incoming tide, despite being equipped with all of the traditional recovery equipment.
From his experiences, Brad recognised the need for a system that makes vehicle recovery and extraction a safe, simple, one-person task and eliminates the need for any outside assistance such as towing, snatching, or winching.
We tested several types and grades of super tough nylons to create a lightweight, yet durable product that provides superior performance with our focus on the key issues of strength, effectiveness, usability and aesthetics. MAXTRAX was trialled countless times using typical (and not so typical) bogging scenarios and after many late nights and product refinements.
Since then, MAXTRAX have been discovered by 4WD adventurers around the world as the safe, simple, quick and easy method of vehicle recovery. We didn’t stop with the MKII, and the last decade has seen the MAXTRAX product range expand to include the XTREME, the INDEFLATE, the MINI and the JAXBASE! 2020 saw the release of our very own safe, simple Recovery System, designed to take the risk off lying metal out of the equation in a recovery situation.
