Why we built this
We have sold multiple thousands of the previous recovery board supports. A year of off-road use made one thing clear: faster access to the boards is worth more than anything else on the rack. Lines we would have skipped, we now take — because getting the MaxTrax off is no longer a job.
Tactic Engineering designed the first magnetic mounts for camper vans, in December 2021. Every part is designed and manufactured in Switzerland, hand-assembled in-house. Tool-free installation in under a minute.

From the wild
The original. Invented here.
Tactic Engineering invented the magnetic vehicle mount. Designed and prototyped in Switzerland, stress-tested on the road, first units shipped in December 2021. Every magnetic mount on the market today came after ours.
The biggest names in the van and off-road industry sell our product, not the copies that showed up four years later. Because this is what we do, and we do it from Switzerland.

Great bit of kit, working well still on the van after some high speed highway runs.
Nice system.
Due to the raptor painting coat, it goes down sometimes of 1 cm.
I will see next trip how it goes.
Good quality product, very solid attachment to my van. Probably to only “real ones” on the market
Hammerware! Sind gut gemacht und absolut passgenau.
Ordered the Max Trax quick release supports for my MK2. Excellent quality, really well made. They fit perfectly and make it so much easier to remove and refit the recovery boards. Great product and fast delivery. Highly recommend.
At first, I was very hesitant about purchasing from you. However, after trying a few of your products, I decided that you would become my go-to company for everything I need to add to my GCS! Thank you so much for being here – you are fantastic!
Die Max Trax Quick Release Supports halten bestens! Nach rund 7'000km auf den Strecken in Island kann ich es nur bestätigen. Ich bin so zufrieden, dass ich dieses Produkt in den Shop aufgenommen habe www.alpinevan.ch Absolut zu empfehlen!
Very good product, fast delivery from Switzerland to uk
Greetings from Australia, this is the second product I have bought from Tacticvans and the support, product quality and packaging is next level perfect 👍 keep up the excellent work 👍
J'aime le produit mais j'ai eu la mauvaise surprise de payer 16,50 de dédouanement tout de suite à FedEx pour avoir mon colis et plus tard j'ai reçu une facture supplémentaire de 46€ !!! J'ai fait une réclamation mais FedEx m'a confirmé que je devais payer, les 16,50 € étant des frais et taxes et les 46€ les droits de douane... J'ai demandé à Tactic Vans si ils avaient souvent ce cas de figure en vendant à l'étranger mais pas de réponse. Bref si vous achetez depuis la France attendez-vous à payer 62,50€ en plus.
Nice product and quick delivery.
