Winter Preparation Checklist: Shurtrax | All Weather Traction Aid

Originally conceived as a convenient and cleaner way to add weight to the back of pickup trucks for added traction in snow and slush, ShurTrax has proven itself to be a great solution for virtually any vehicle needing extra traction.

How can I justify the cost of ShurTrax?

With proper care, ShurTrax products should last up to 5 years. Even at a typical hardware stores low price of around $4 for a 50-lb (23 kg) bag of tube sand, 8 bags per year will cost you $160+ over 5 years, which is more than ShurTrax. ShurTrax comes with a no-hassle three-year warranty. The only thing not covered is damage from punctures or abuse.

How much weight does ShurTrax add to the vehicle?

Water weighs approximately 8 lbs./gallon (1 kg/L). This product is sized so the 3-inch (7.5 cm) suggested fill level will provide the following weight: SUV/CUV/Auto = 100 lbs. (45 kg); Mid-Size/Compact Pickup= 320 lbs. (145 kg); Full-Size Pickup= 400 lbs. (180 kg). However, the consumer can adjust the total weight by adjusting the water level from 1-3 inches without harming the product.

Can I haul cargo on top of my ShurTrax?

Yes, the product is rated to withstand up to 500 lbs. (227 kg) of flat-lying cargo. Do not place sharp or pointed objects on top of the ShurTrax as they could cause cuts or punctures, which are not covered under warranty. Always be sure to check cargo for protruding nails, screws, staples, or other sharp and pointed objects or surfaces before placing on top of the ShurTrax.
