In its 2/25 issue, Explorer gets to the bottom of the question: which recovery boards offer the best grip for offroad vehicles and motorhomes?
To find out, the magazine ran an elaborate multi-day test and put almost all recovery boards available on the German market through their paces.
Under real offroad conditions, the traction aids had to show what they can do. How exactly the test went and which challenges the boards had to master is described in detail by Explorer in its report.
The result reveals big differences between the individual models. The test thus provides a valuable overview of the wide range on offer and clearly shows which recovery boards really convince in the field.
Recovery Board Test – The Winner
The result hardly surprises us: TRED PRO takes the top spot!
There is a reason we bring this recovery gear to you in Germany straight from offroad-crazy Australia. Developed Down Under and valued in the offroad scene for a long time, TRED4x4 recovery boards are tuned to the perfect interplay with proven offroad tires through the analysis of hundreds of tire treads. The boards therefore have a defined driving direction. On the approach side, the board is also cut so that its curved edge can fit the tire optimally. This gives maximum control and a successful recovery without failed attempts that wear out your clutch, as with no other recovery board.
Explorer also confirms that TRED PRO recovery boards offer not only the best traction for motorhomes or campers – the boards come with many well-thought-out details that optimize their use. TRED PRO recovery boards, like the HD and GT models, are ergonomically shaped and, with handles and a shovel edge, offer an ideal way to dig away loose ground before the recovery without switching tools.
The patented material mix of the TRED PRO recovery boards stays flexible enough in the cold and is not harmed by desert heat – with an operating range from -15°C to 70°C (5°F to 158°F), they are your reliable partner for any adventure.
This advanced composite material also ensures that the board suffers no critical damage when tires spin while driving over it – which is what quickly kills many recovery boards.
TRED recovery boards also score points in transport. Their good stackability allows flat, space-saving storage. With the optionally available accessories, they can be mounted on the outside of the vehicle where they are conveniently accessible.
