Traction Board Mounts
Traction Board Mounts FAQs
Where is the best place to mount traction boards?
The best spot is where you can grab them without climbing and where they stay clear of mud and heat. Roof racks and rear swing-outs are common. Bed rails and bed racks are easier to reach, but they use bed space.
Will a MAXTRAX mount fit other brands of traction boards?
Not always. Mounts are shaped around specific boards, so different widths and thicknesses may not clamp properly. Check the listing and the dimensions of your boards.
Do I need a mount or can I just strap them on?
Straps work but they loosen, rattle and wear the boards. A proper mount holds them in a fixed position and gives quick release when you need them.
Can one mount hold a traction board and a RotoPax can?
Some of the listings, such as the Rotopax and MAXTRAX combination mounts, are made to carry both. Check the layout and weight to make sure your rack can handle it.
How do I stop traction boards from being stolen?
Use a mount with a lock or a locking hardware option where available, or add a cable or lock through the boards. Look at the mount description for security features.
