ARB TRED Pro Recovery Boards, Pair, 45.67", Blue (TREDPROBU)

The ARB TRED Pro in Blue is a pair of recovery boards, the gold standard of the TRED range, built to get a stuck four wheel drive moving again when traction is gone in sand, mud or snow. Each board measures 45.67"L x 12.99"W x 2.56"H, the pair weighs 18.08 lb, and a stacked pair is only 3.35" thick so they store flat against a rack or behind a seat.

What makes a TRED work is the SIPE-LOCK grip profile: ARB shaped the teeth from 3D scans of the tread patterns on the most popular tire brands so the board engages the water evacuation channels on the tire rather than simply being pressed into the mud. ARB rates this model up to 9,900 lb vehicle weight. The TRED Pro formulation is rated by ARB for ambient temperatures from -15°C (5°F) to 70°C (158°F), and the boards carry ARB's published lifetime warranty.

ARB publishes the origin of the TRED Pro in its own words: "Developed and manufactured in Australia, TRED Pro out-performs any other traction aid in the market allowing you to explore with confidence whatever the terrain." That sentence is ARB's, quoted rather than paraphrased, and it applies to the TRED Pro specifically. ARB publishes no origin statement for the TRED HD or TRED GT, so we make none for those.

What's Included:

• Two TRED Pro recovery boards in Blue

Features

EXOTRED Dual Composite Construction
ARB's patented dual composite build is the reason a Pro board survives the moment a spinning tire finds it. Where a single material board shears its teeth off under wheelspin, the Pro takes the hit and keeps its profile.

Directional Entry And Exit Points
The Pro is a directional board. The nodule profile at the entry ramp is shaped differently from the exit end so the tire is gripped as it climbs on and released cleanly as it rolls off, which is what makes a recovery one attempt instead of three.

SIPE-LOCK Grip Profile
The patented grip profile is engineered to engage the water evacuation channels on the outer edge of a tire, the sipes, rather than just pressing knobs into rubber. ARB developed the pattern from 3D scans of the most popular tire brands.

Progressive Variable Tooth Design
Tooth distribution and shape come from ARB's research across hundreds of tire manufacturers' tread patterns, so traction builds progressively instead of the board either skating or grabbing and stalling.

Rated For -15°C (5°F) Through 70°C (158°F)
ARB rates the TRED Pro formulation for ambient temperatures from -15°C (5°F) to 70°C (158°F). That is the published operating window, and it is the reason the board stays usable in snow recoveries as well as sand.

Published Vehicle Weight Rating
ARB rates the TRED Pro up to 9,900 lb vehicle weight. We print the figure ARB publishes and nothing more, because a recovery board rating is not something to estimate.

Developed And Manufactured In Australia
ARB states that TRED Pro is developed and manufactured in Australia. That is ARB's own published sentence for this product line, and it is not a claim that carries across to the TRED HD or GT, where ARB publishes no origin at all.

Sold As A Pair
This part number is a pair of TRED Pro boards in Blue. A pair recovers two wheels; buyers running a four wheel drive in deep sand often keep two pairs.

Installation

Type: No installation. Deployment tool used at the point of recovery  ·  Time: Under a minute to deploy once you have cleared in front of the tire  ·  Tools: None required. The shovel end of the board is the digging tool  ·  Difficulty: Easy

Clear sand or mud from in front of the drive wheels with the shovel end, wedge the ramp end firmly under the tire, and drive on with gentle steady throttle. Wheelspin is what destroys recovery boards. Nobody should stand behind or in front of the vehicle during the attempt, and boards should be leashed if you want to find them afterwards.

About ARB

ARB started in 1975 in a Melbourne garage, when Tony Brown began building bull bars for the four wheel drives crossing Australia's outback, and it has grown into the largest 4x4 accessories maker in the southern hemisphere. TRED joined that range as ARB's recovery board line, and it is the part of the catalogue where a single component decides whether a day ends at camp or on the end of a strap.

In North America ARB operates from Auburn, Washington as Air Locker Inc., backing every product with a US warranty program. Prestige Truck is an authorized ARB dealer. Every board and mount we ship is a genuine US-market TRED product covered by the warranty term ARB publishes for it.
