Maxtrax Releases All-Terrain Recovery Shovel for Overland Use

April 3, 2026

Maxtrax, world-renowned maker of the Maxtrax II recovery board, just released an all-in-one, all-terrain recovery shovel that mounts perfectly into a Maxtrax MKII or XTREME traction board.

Built for off-roading and emergency recoveries, Maxtrax’ new all-terrain recovery shovel integrates securely with MKII and XTREME boards for confident storage and transport. Mounting is seamlessly accomplished by using two brackets which are attached to a pair of Maxtrax recovery board by using four Velcro straps. Even the contour of the shovel blends perfectly with the Maxtrax recovery boards for a safe and secure, professional fit.

Its multi-functional design gives owners the right grip for any situation, a short handle for quick control, and an extendable long handle to reach safely under your vehicle when space is tight.

The box includes one Maxtrax shovel, one extension pole, two mounting brackets, and four Velcro straps. Maxtrax’ new shovel sells for $259.99.

Maxtrax recovery boards are used by 4WD adventurers around the world. Headquartered in Australia, Maxtrax products can be purchased by independent retailers around the world, including the US, Peru, South Africa, Norway, France, England, Japan, Ukraine, and New Zealand. Maxtrax customers include mining, energy and exploration companies, government agencies, 4WD trainers and tour operators, lifeguard services, rural fire services, State Emergency Service branches, off-road rally drivers, the Australian Army, US Defense Force, and the United Nations.
