" Hello Jim-
it was really easy to assemble and it looks great! - really sturdy and durable. Well worth it. Thanks and Happy weekend.
Ron " (Bought this cart, June 2011)
jim, I was able to try the canoe cart yesterday. I must have hauled my canoe about 1/2 mile before launching it to the river and it worked great. Nice product.-- Houa L. (September 2015)
Less than 14 lbs! Comes with Straps!
16" balloon-tire model also available (click the colored words). Width = About 30" not including wheels. |
Two-wheeled canoe and kayak trolley with long tongue for superior stability. In many situations you won't even need the straps because boats sit stable and stick well to the rubber surface of the supports. Just plop the boat on and go. Made of anodized aluminum with stainless steel hardware. Huge ground clearance for rough terrain (no axle connecting the wheels!) Other sellers' solid axle carts have ground no greater than 1/2 of the wheel diameter (just 6" on a 12" wheel). Our cart has over 12" ground clearance! 13.5" clearance in balloon-tire model. Folding: Crossbar snaps apart. Wheel struts fold against crossbar (that is, wheels fold up like airplane landing gear). Pads and wheels could also be removed, but usually not necessary. 12-inch cart ordering link: Buy Now Pros and cons of 12-inch vs. 16-inch wheels: The 12-inch version is lighter, more compact and lower in price. The 16-inch version rolls better over rough terrain and in soft sand or mud. 16" balloon-tire cart click here. Both are pneumatic (air-filled) and axle diameter is 1/2". |

Weight capacity is 250 lbs! |
Loading: Lift up the front of your boat and swing it over above the cart, then just lower the boat onto the cart. When the bottom of the boat contacts the black pads on the cart's crossbar, it forces the cart into a level position and the tongue (the long bar that sticks out forward) automatically flips up and rests against the bottom of the boat. You pull on the boat, not the tongue. (please note: photo shows telescoping handle, cart now comes with a shorter 18" single piece handle)

Going: On smooth ground, you're ready to go as soon as you drop the boat on. For greater security on rough ground, secure the boat to the cart with straps (included). You just grab hold of the bow handle of your boat and pull or push easily to wherever you want to go. | |||||

High ground clearance allows you to use cart on rough terain.

Great kayak kart too. (please note: photo shows telescoping handle, cart now comes with a shorter 18" single piece handle) Rowboats, pedalboats -- no problem! Custom widths possible: see extender below or email Jim@sailboatstogo.com

Compact: Comes apart and folds in less than a minute to this handful of small pieces. Pop them into a small duffel bag (optional) and stow anywhere, even in the hold of your kayak (remove axle bolts). Or, just fold up wheels and remove tongue, and leave the rest assembled.

"Amazed at How Well It Was Made"
"Jim
Received my canoe cart, put it together, and tried it out.
1.) Very easy to assemble.
2.) Was amazed at how well it was made, and thought out.
(even the tie down straps had pads behind the buckles to keep
them from scratching anything)
3.) Works great and very easy to use.
Who could ask for anything more.
Thanks.........Jim

Alternative to a cart:
Slip-on wheels The slip-on wheels turn our crossbar into a cart substitute, with many convenience advantages. You may already have a crossbar and gunwale clamps because you have a canoe stabilizer, canoe sail kit, or canoe rowing rig that you bought from us. That crossbar can also put wheels under your canoe just by removing whatever accessories are plugged into it and slipping in the prongs of these slip-on wheels. See video of wheels on canoe: Click Here Like the cart, the slip-on wheels are available in 12-in. thin-tire and 16-in. balloon-tire versions.
Above: Slip-on wheels added to inflatable boat sail kit. They also work on canoes, kayaks, dinghies and jon boats. |
