Recovery Gear
BE Prepared for any situation.
BE PREPARED, NOT STUCK
The need for recovery gear comes down to having your vehicle suitable for use. When travelling, off-road conditions become exponentially out of your control. So when something inevitably goes wrong you need to be prepared to recover yourself or others in your party.
When talking fixed recovery equipment most commonly you’re talking about a winch. We can fit winch systems from various brands to complement your bull bar and recovery needs.
Is a winch overkill for your travel plans? A weekend run down the beach more your style? Looks like a set of recovery tracks from MAXTRAX is more your speed.
MAXTRAX recovery equipment provide added traction to get you out of situations where the ground beneath you has gotten the best of you. Doubling as a handy sand shovel a set of MAXTRAX can often be all you need for your weekend adventures.

Never attach recovery gear to a tow ball or any part not rated for recovery. Use rated recovery points or hooks found on the chassis or aftermarket components such as bullbars or towbars. When in doubt, refer to the vehicle’s manual, as attachment points & ratings vary.
