RotopaX has launched updated RototraX Traction Boards, now featuring the same footprint as RotopaX 4-gallon containers, allowing you to mount them using existing side-panel hardware.

Even better, using the company’s 1.75 Gallon Extension hardware, you can easily stack them with other RotopaX containers for a simpler everything-in-one-place load out.

The boards incorporate fiberglass-reinforced construction with X-shaped lugs and patented crosshatch internal ribbing for structural integrity. Like other quality boards, they’re claimed to work for traction assistance, bridging, ramping, or vehicle leveling applications, though RotopaX says they’re designed for midsize trucks and smaller vehicles.

The company offers a one-year warranty covering physical breakage. Available in black only (for now…they’ve offered red and orange in prior versions).

MSRP is $269.99 per pair and includes two lanyards to prevent the boards from wandering off during recovery operations.
