Filter byTRED Pro protection products are the world leaders in developing durable and effective vehicle extraction systems and recovery boards. Established in 2012 in Melbourne, Australia, TRED Pro is part of the ARB family and their products are sold worldwide. But, with various different recovery boards available and some offered at bargain bucket prices, is TRED Pro worth your investment?
Developing an effective and reliable vehicle extraction board, which can be used in a variety of conditions, presents some significant challenges. The boards need to be lightweight, easy to clean and simple to store – but they also need to be able to cope with the weight of a Land Cruiser, a Hilux or a Ranger. Users across the globe will be using recovery boards in varying conditions and terrains – from mud to sand and from mulch on the jungle floor to snowy and inhospitable valleys in the arctic circle.
Tred Pro have invested a huge amount of resources, personnel, budget and sophisticated test equipment to make sure that their products are up to the task of acting as an all-in-one solution and the results speak for themselves with many thousands of sets sold worldwide and many vehicle owners having been able to self-rescue their rig from deserts and muddy fields. TRED Pro products are engineered and manufactured in Australia under the watchful eye of parent company ARB, and they can be found attached to roof racks and bolted to the side of overland rigs everywhere. Even passenger cars and ATVs can benefit from having this product to hand when the conditions become less than ideal.
Of course, the most important part of any recovery situation is using the correct techniques, and for this reason we would suggest watching some of the many YouTube videos on the subject of overland preparation and self-recovery – and of course considering whether these techniques are appropriate in your situation or for your vehicle.
So, what is the difference between a genuine TRED Pro recovery board (or sand ladder, as they are known in some parts of the world) and some of the cheap, copy products on the market? Well, some of the differences are more obvious than others – but we have seen cheap boards at 4×4 shows which are thin, brittle, flimsy, do not have proper traction studs and just don’t have the qualities needed to rescue a vehicle when the need arises. Low grades of plastic can be used to keep cost down and the manufacturers don’t have the tooling or the know-how to make a genuinely useful product.
Remember, when you are stuck in mud or sand hundreds of miles from home, you need to have the right equipment with you. TRED Pro boards, along with a range of genuine accessories, are the right product for a successful recovery.
