Compatibility Check

Will it work on your vehicle?

Our magnetic mounts bond directly to steel body panels. Select your vehicle below to check compatibility instantly.

Not sure?

The 10-second magnet test

Grab any magnet from your fridge, kitchen, or toolbox.

Place it on the body panel where you'd mount the product — roof, side panel, or rear door.

If it sticks firmly, you're good. Our 55 kg-force magnets will hold with no issues. If it slides or barely holds, your panel may be aluminum or composite — contact us and we'll find a solution.

Magnetic Supports — TRED GT / PRO / HD

Insert four supports into the holes of your TRED boards, place the boards on the vehicle, and the magnets hold them there. Installed in less than a minute, with zero damage to the body.

The plastic part of the pins is 3D printed from carbon fibre reinforced plastic, one of the most expensive materials we can buy. It makes the pins 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 moulded pieces.

Does 3D printing change something for you?

You might see very thin layers of plastic, a consequence of the process. It is far more limited than the common 3D prints on the market: this composite is printed at 270 degrees Celsius, so it withstands extremely high temperatures before deforming.

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.

I ordered Magnetic Supports for TRED GT/PRO/HD Recovery Boards and was very satisfied with the immediate response to all my questions, fast delivery as well as the product quality.

I recently had the pleasure of using products from Tactic Vans, and I must say, they have exceeded my expectations in every way. The quality of these products is truly outstanding. From the moment I started using them, I could tell they were built to last. The materials used are top-notch, ensuring durability and longevity. What impressed me the most is the professional feel of these products. Every detail, from the design to the functionality, has been carefully thought out. They are not only practical but also stylish, making them a great choice for anyone looking to combine utility with aesthetics. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Tactic Vans is a family-owned business. This adds a personal touch to their products, reflecting the care and dedication put into every item. The delivery was also incredibly fast, which was a pleasant surprise and added to the overall positive experience. In summary, Tactic Vans products offer fantastic quality and a professional touch that sets them apart from the competition. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and well-crafted items.

These 4 magnetic supports for the ARB TRED GT recovery boards are just excellent! They take 5 mins to install (be careful as the magnets are super strong) & they are so sound & secure; you just know the boards are firmly attached to your van, yet they can be released in seconds if needed. Great product, well designed & high quality manufacture.
