Maxtrax
MAXTRAX was created by Aussie adventurer and author Brad McCarthy after a near miss on a remote beach nearly cost him his 4WD to an incoming tide. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional recovery gear, Brad set out to design a better solution — one that was safe, simple, and didn’t require help from others. The result? A revolutionary Australian-made recovery board that’s now trusted by 4WDers, emergency services, military, and adventurers around the world.
Developed in Brisbane and engineered for real-world conditions, MAXTRAX is lightweight, tough, and ready for whatever you throw at it. From solo beach missions to remote desert crossings, MAXTRAX takes the stress out of getting stuck — no winches, snatch straps, or tow points required.
Proudly Australian made and internationally recognised, MAXTRAX proves that great ideas, backed by grit and Aussie ingenuity, can go anywhere.
