OKoffroad.com 4x4 Recovery - Sand Ladders |
I have a heap of sand driving experience after working as a mechanic for a 4x4 hire company for Fraser Island. I used to go over there every week to recover vehicles from there.
I have never used sand ladders but there has been times during really soft, dry conditions where they would've been handy. Most times though dropping the tyre pressures right down and being in the right gear at the right time is all you need to get through.
If you have a powerful lightweight rig with good sand tyres I'd say you wouldn't need them but if you have a heavyweight rig that is down on power and normal tyres I'd say get them if you want a bit of extra insurance.
Have you seen the MAX TRAX sand ladders? Bit expensive but work well.

BTW Most of the pics on the site with white sand are taken on Fraser Is.
