History of Recovery Products


Recovery boards have been getting off roaders out of trouble for centuries. From the days of horse-drawn buggies, wheeled vehicles have got themselves stuck with the need for recovery, starting out with assistance from tree branches, timber or rocks. As forms of transport have improved, so too have the means of aiding in recovery. The advanced off road vehicles available today means we have the ability to explore further off the beaten track and more people are taking advantage of weekends spent exploring local beaches and state forests.

WWII and the introduction of the Willies Jeep and Land Rover vehicles saw the development of different forms of aids to assist in recovery of vehicles and to bridge creeks and crevices, such as sand ladder or punched steel tracks. The iconic Land Rover was often pictured with a set of steel tracks hanging off the side somewhere.

Today there are various forms of steel, timber, rubber and poly recovery ramps available offering a similar range of features. TRED sets itself apart due to ease of use and its specifically designed features. The two-in-one design of both a shovel and a heavy duty highly engineered recovery ramp make TRED the ultimate Total Recovery & Extraction Device.
