MAGNETIC QUICK RELEASE — SUMEX RECOVERY BOARDS
Magnetic quick-release mounts sized for Sumex recovery boards — no rack, no drilling, no glue.
THE ORIGINAL. INVENTED HERE.
We invented magnetic mounts for recovery boards. Long before the copycats arrived — years before anyone else even tried — we were already selling magnetic recovery board supports to overlanders worldwide.
OWL Vans became our exclusive distributor for the United States. Then Burkhart Engineering in Germany, Hobus in Belgium, Dutch Van Parts in the Netherlands, Montpellier 4x4 in France, Van Creed in Australia, Nirvana Outfitters in Canada, and more retailers followed.
There's a reason the biggest names in the van and off-road industry sell our product and not the copies that showed up four years later: because this is what we do, and we do it from Switzerland.
HOW IT WORKS
Powerful magnets hold your Sumex recovery boards flat against the steel body of your vehicle. Quick-release pins lock the boards in place through their existing mounting holes. When you need to deploy, pull the pins and the boards come free in seconds.
No rack needed. No drilling. No glue. Tool-free installation in under a minute.
WHAT'S IN THE KIT
- 4 high-strength rubber-coated magnets with quick-release pins.
- Transparent protective stickers to prevent scratches on your vehicle's paintwork.
Sized for Sumex recovery boards. Each kit carries 2 boards (one pair) — pick the 8-mount kit to carry 4.
USING MAXTRAX, TRED OR GENERIC BOARDS?
We make dedicated mounts with a perfect fit for specific brands. If you run a different board, choose the right one:
MaxTrax MK2 / LITE / XTREME
Quick-release magnetic mounts designed specifically for MaxTrax recovery boards.
TRED GT / HD / PRO
Dedicated magnetic mounts for ARB/TRED recovery boards.
Generic / Other Boards
Universal magnetic quick-release mounts for most standard recovery boards.
WILL IT WORK ON YOUR VEHICLE?
Our magnetic mounts bond directly to steel body panels. Generally speaking, they work with all vehicles that are not made of aluminum — Land Rovers and new Ford Broncos are made of aluminum, so the magnets won't attach to those bodies.

CHECK COMPATIBILITY →DESIGNED, PRODUCED & HAND-ASSEMBLED IN SWITZERLAND
The plastic part of the pins is 3D printed with the most expensive materials at 100 euros per kg. This material is plastic reinforced with carbon fiber, making the pins extremely durable and resistant to heat and impact.
FABRICATION METHOD
Our products are created using advanced 3D printing technology with the highest quality materials available. Due to the nature of this production method, there may be minor imperfections such as visible layers or slight waviness in the material. We carefully separate any items with noticeable defects and only ship those that meet our quality standards. These are not plastic injection molded pieces.
