GOTREADS TRACTION TOOLS
GoTreads are Folding Traction Boards for Vehicles. If it has wheels, GoTreads can help.
Originally designed for the US Army, they are essential to unstuck virtually any vehicle ranging from a small golf cart to an overlanding vehicle to a heavy-duty truck.
Unique user benefits of the GoTreads include:
- it follows the terrain, making it easy to apply even with a minimal gap between vehicle and ground. Rigid traction boards require a certain distance to be effective, hence the shoveling action in many cases.
- withstands an axel weight of 22,7 tons! Suitable for heavy duty trucks.
- folds up to a compact super portable size. No need to mount outside the vehicle. Unless you want to, we do have the accessory for exterior vehicle mounting.

All GoTreads are sold as a pair (2 units). They come in 3 sizes:
Regular, 3 elements: suitable for cars and small vehicles

GoTreads products are modular built. Damaged elements can individually be repaired by replacing with a new element. Anywhere, by yourself. - In contrast, if the surface of a rigid traction board is being melted by a spinning wheel or broken, it's a complete replacement.
Full features of GoTreads
Self Aligning
The arched grooves help pull GoTreads into the center of travel. This keeps the traction in the middle of your tire where it provides the greatest aid.
Self Feeding
The first two sections are grooved on one side and smooth on the other. This allows the tire to grip the top while the bottom slides along the ground and under the tire. No more digging to wedge a solid board under your tire!
Opposing Grip
GoTreads feature opposing grooves across the entire surface. Top and bottom. This grabs your tire and the ground in opposite directions creating optimal traction. GoTreads utilize the full surface area on both sides of the traction board for grip.
Arched Strength
This incredibly strong shape is utilized in GoTreads not only for traction but also for re-structuring the ground you are stuck in. Forming a series of arches in the surface of the ground creates a stronger gripping surface.
Rigid Lattice
The opposing groove pattern of GoTreads creates an incredibly strong lattice structure. This makes them extremely rigid side to side while still allowing flex lengthwise.
