What Are GRP Sand Ladders?

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) sand ladders — sometimes called waffle boards — are high-strength traction mats placed under your vehicle’s tyres when stuck.
The open-mesh, gritted surface provides unbeatable grip, helping your tyres regain traction on soft or slippery surfaces.

Unlike metal ladders that rust or bend, GRP sand ladders are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to carry, making them the ultimate off-road recovery essential.

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty GRP Construction: Made from high-strength fibreglass for maximum durability.

• Non-Slip Grit Finish: Embedded with anti-slip grit for superior tyre grip.

• Lightweight Design: Easy to transport and store on any 4x4, van, or recovery truck.

• Corrosion & Weather Resistant: Performs perfectly in mud, sand, snow, or saltwater.

• Simple to Use: No mechanical parts — just place, drive, and recover.

Built for the Toughest UK Landscapes

✔ Norfolk Sand Dunes – Wide treads prevent sinking in soft sand
✔ Scottish Peat Bogs – 3.5-tonne load capacity for heavy 4x4s
✔ Welsh Mountain Trails – Glow-in-dark handles for night recoveries
✔ Lake District Fords – Non-slip even when submerged

Why Choose GRP Sand Ladders Over Plastic or Metal?

Plastic recovery boards melt or crack under pressure. Metal ones are heavy, noisy, and prone to rust.
That’s why GRP waffle boards are becoming the UK’s go-to solution for off-road recovery.

They offer the best balance of strength, flexibility, and safety — trusted by the UK military, emergency services, and professional 4x4 operators.

Each board is made from industrial-grade fibreglass with a gritted surface for maximum traction in even the toughest terrain.
