What are so-called recovery boards for the vehicle?

Recovery boards are also known as traction plates. The articles are made of robust materials and serve as a starting aid for stuck vehicles. The traction plates are also known as salvage boards or recovery tracks. Recovery boards are available in different versions in specialist and online shops. In the following, purchase factors and material properties of the boards are discussed in more detail.

Recovery Boards - What Are They Made Of?

Recovery boards are sold at least in pairs and are used to free or rescue a stuck vehicle with your own power. Generally speaking, traction plates are durable and robust. You have to be able to withstand the weight of the vehicle without any problems and also possibly spinning off-road tires. Recovery boards can be made from various materials. For example, articles made of aluminum and variants made of reinforced, UV-stabilized nylon are offered. The products are designed to provide better traction on sand, mud or gravel.

Recovery boards - which variants are differentiated?

Recovery splints are commercially available that can be used on surfaces such as snow, ice and mud. Furthermore, off-road versions can also be purchased, which can be used specifically on flat, sandy or muddy surfaces. Anyone who drives their vehicle primarily off-road should choose a variant that suits the ground. The manufacturers specify in the product descriptions exactly for which areas and which surfaces the recovery boards are intended. In addition to the subsurface factor, the maximum possible load also plays a role. Recovery boards are available on the market, for example, which can be loaded with up to 10 tons. For example, in the rare event that you deal with his Ram pickup with Jeep Wrangler on the loading area gets stuck.

ATV and UTV

Recovery boards can be interesting not only for tuning vehicles and private vehicles. Depending on the model, the items are also suitable for ATV and UTV. ATV means All Terrain Vehicles and describes, for example, vehicles that are suitable for light transport work. Off-road vehicles and quads can also fall under this designation. UTV refers to side-by-side vehicles that are used for transport work and often have tiltable loading areas. If you drive off-road vehicles, quads or commercial vehicles and want to use recovery boards, you should make sure that they are suitable for ATV / UTV when buying. ATV / UTV grade recovery slides come in short, lightweight variants that are stronger than other slides and are designed to provide adequate portability.

Recovery boards - available with interchangeable elements

Traction aids are available with interchangeable designs. The boards have defined profiles, such as Z-shaped teeth and snowflake-shaped teeth. When buying, it should be ensured that the teeth are exchangeable and that suitable replacement teeth are available. With the right replacement material, there is no need to buy new recovery boards if the teeth wear out. The teeth should also be robust and prevent a vehicle from sliding. Foldable variants that can be stowed to save space are advantageous

Traction mats with underside channels

Recovery boards also have other profile elements to ensure a firm base on sand, snow, in mud or on other types of soil. For example, channels can be incorporated on the underside of each board.
