GET YOUR TRUCK UNSTUCK!
TruckClaws II™ is a traction aid developed for light commercial trucks, pickups, RVs and sport utility vehicles with a GVWR of 13,000 kg or less. TruckClaws II™ is an aluminum traction cleat that is installed on a tire with a customized strap and ratchet. The cleat is designed with a channel to accommodate an extender bar that slides into place to provide additional traction under extreme conditions. TruckClaws II™ is effective in mud, ice, snow and sand.
The average person can install TruckClaws II™ in less than 60 sends per traction aid.
We supply TruckClaws throughout the UK and Europe.

There are several ways of using TruckClawsII on a 4-wheel drive vehicle. In most cases, one claw on each rear tire is needed; however, two claws on each rear tire can be installed to enhance traction to power your way out. Another option is to install a claw on all four tires. Watch web site videos for examples. WARNING!! THE EXTENDER BAR CAN NOT BE USED ON THE FRONT TIRES OF ANY VEHICLE. Make sure that there is adequate clearance between the wheel and inner wheel well and use them according to instructions.
TruckClaws II™ should work if your vehicle has the proper clearance between the wheel and fender well, there is an opening in the tire rim for the strap to pass through, and the brake calibers are cleared.
The extender bar is an accessory that slides into the traction cleat to provide an additional 10 inches of traction past the width of your tire tread. Extender bars should only be used after you have tried unsuccessfully to get your vehicle unstuck using the traction plates alone. NEVER INSTALL THE EXTENDER BAR ON THE FRONT TIRES OF A VEHICLE. The extender bar kit is sold separately from the TruckClaws II™.
One kit is needed for most conditions. For the serious off-roader, two kits is suggested.
Yes, you just curl the strap up to thread it through the hole in the rim, then pull it through and it will work the same as the larger holes.
