Why Traction Boards Are Essential For Off-Roading

Traction mats act as an extraction device for extreme conditions while off-roading. When your vehicle gets stuck, you need traction to get it moving. Traction boards provide, you've got it - traction - for your vehicle. They help you in mud, snow, or sand when your tire cannot get a grip. In cases where you don't want your tires to tear, they also support against rough terrain like rocks. Their lightweight material also helps your vehicle float nicely over sand rather than sinking into the surface. One of the unique aspects of the Rhino USA boards is that they help your truck or car lift and clear over obstacles on the ground. Roll your vehicle onto the mat, and it'll act as an additional lift-up to help get your vehicle out of snow or mud without that usual tire spin.

Why Rhino USA's Traction Boards Are The Only Ones You'll Ever Need

Best Traction Boards For Durability

Rhino USA's traction mats are made of glass-filled resin nylon for ultimate flexibility. Now, most boards are plastic, which isn't flexible. Plastic will bend, crack or break, while nylon is highly flexible, making the Rhino USA recovery board suitable for all conditions. The additional weight of larger vehicles like trucks won't break the board. The fact they are flexible also helps provide extra traction over unstable terrain. That's why we give our recovery boards a lifetime guarantee for all our customers, as we're confident they'll never break. You won't see this level of durability, safety and lack of wear and tear with competitors.

UV Stable Material: Traction Board Material Will Never Fade

The material is also UV stable, meaning you can choose from various color options without worrying that they'll fade in the sun like most traction boards. Choose from eye-catching reds, blacks or greens. When UV damage causes materials to fade, it can also cause significant damage and even melt certain materials, meaning that your traction tracks won't be fit for use and will need to be replaced, however, not in the case of Rhino USA!

Ultimate Way To Store Your Traction Tracks With A Carry Bag & Mounting Brackets

You can also benefit from easy storage with Rhino USA's Heavy Duty Organiser Carrying bag. Store your traction tracks with ease with our carrying bag. With one simple purchase of our traction boards, you'll benefit from a storage bag that is easy to wear and carry. With industry standard mounting brackets spacing of 270mm, you'll also find it easy to take your traction boards on your vehicles. The traction boards are incredibly lightweight to make for easy transportation.

A Pair Of Rhino USA Webbing Leashes

Rhino USA's are infinitely better than competitors and are the best traction boards around. Why? Because they come with double Rhino USA's webbing leashes to provide additional support and guidance when your car or truck is on the traction tracks. Other recovery traction tracks do not offer this with their traction mats. No other boards, provide this level of support with your traction board. Over a rugged ridge, your webbing leashes will help guide your vehicle onto safe terrain without jeopardizing tire pressure or with wheels spinning. In most situations, you will have a challenging job controlling the vehicle over unstable ground without Rhino USA's webbing leashes.

Unique Knob Design Prevents Tire Spinning

The unique knob design helps prevent wheel spin for your tires with added traction. It is tough to recover your cars, trucks or UTV vehicles if your tires are spinning. Throw in non-traction with snow, sand, or mud, and you'll have difficulty getting your vehicle back from the elements. For most traction boards, unlike Rhino USA, you'll find that their knob design doesn't cut it with their trucks, cars, or vehicles, leading to wheel spinning.
