Transport a single canoe or kayak from the parking lot to the lake easily and hassle-free with our Canoe and Kayak Dolly. It is designed to hold a canoe/kayak by the hull in a V-shaped cradle with 3-1/2 "L foam bumpers on each arm. Cradle arms are connected together with a 13" nylon strap to prevent the cradle from opening too far.
Capacity: 150-Pound 12 Ft long tie-down strap. Solid Metal frame; foam bumpers on each arm to protect your Canoe / Kayak hull
Large(9-1/2'D) flat-free tires (3-1/2' wide) roll smoothly across sand and gravel. Stainless steel fasteners and chrome lynch pin. Quick assembly
Material: Aluminum pipe (20 x2mm) anodized Stainless steel. Works great as a kayak or canoe dolly. Dolly breaks down for easy storage or transport
Part of the support stand features a 9-1/4'H spring-loaded stand which keeps the dolly cart propped up onshore for quick loading out of water
Large 9-1/2' diameter flat-free tires provide stable support on uneven terrain which is especially useful in sandy areas
I want to be able to walk about one mile using this with a ten-foot sit on top kayak. Would this work? The issues are the kayak balance point on the cart, and how rough the surface is on which the wheels have to roll. I have a 10-foot sit on top kayak and find that the cart works best about 2 feet from the rear of the boat. That way I can lift from the bow handle and walk easily. Be sure the little legs on the cart are facing forward, if not you'll drag them as you lift and pull. Over any type of rough or soft surface, you must really lash your kayak to the cart securely or it will slide or bounce off. Keeping all this in mind, you should be able to do what you are asking.
Has anyone tried to use this for SUP (Stand Up Paddle)? I am wondering about this since it has a "V" shape that might not fit with the SUP... I have! I use it for kayaks, paddle boards, and a sailboard, and I honestly haven't had any problem at all. Either pull the foam all the way over the corners of the frame to give it more grip or lay a folded yoga towel (my wife's idea) across the frame and make sure to bungee fairly tightly when you use it for the boards. Also place the frame about 2/3rds back and lift the front of the board, it won't work very well if you try to place the frame in the center of the board. Hope that helps!
How do you strap on a kayak? The strap is included. Just go across the boat and secure when centered on the trailer.
Would this cart be good for a 12' Classic Nucanoe? If your canoe has a normal keel, it should work well. A deep keel may require thicker padding on the top tubes of the cart. We have a 14' tandem Kayak and found bungees work better than the strap for the lash-down.
