We have listed some of the more common uses for composite recovery tracks below, although they can, of course, be used in almost any off-road situation.
1. Sand or mud recovery
Recovery tracks work the same way in either sand or mud. If you get bogged in deep sand or mud, it’s vital that you first dig away the piles accumulated ahead of both front and back wheels, in the proposed direction of travel. Obviously, this reduces resistance: that’s what the spade section of the composite tracks is made for. However, having a good pointed shovel on hand will make this part of the task easier. Next, position your recovery tracks ahead of the wheels that are most bogged down, by pushing them by hand as far under the wheel as possible. Point them upwards. Then, while you accelerate as slowly as possible, the vehicle should climb up onto the track at which point you should accelerate a little harder to give your vehicle enough momentum to escape.
2. Sand or mud manoeuvring
