Johnson Outdoors C-Tug

   

Easy to use robust collapsible design, works very well on sand and shingle with standard wheels. Larger wheels can be fitted if required not that we have found a need, kayak is secured using webbing strap. (Alternative wheels not available through Johnson Outdoors).

Weight Bench Trolley

   


Spotted this trolley being used down at Mudeford Quay, it's been made out of an old weight bench as the main chassis and a pram axle used to connect the wheels. The trolley hooks under the roof rack and the kayak (Malibu X-13) lifted onto the wheels and rolled down off the van roof.

The trolley is then placed under the bow of the kayak and straped in place, worked a treat.

Jim Moody's (Jimbob) Trolley

   

Jim's trolley is made from a B&Q sack trolley (£13.89) and some pipe lagging. Firstly he removed the top two sections of the trolley and the wheel guards.

  

Taped on some protective pipe lagging, gave the whole trolley a coat of paint to prevent rusting. Once the paint was dry time to checked it fits under the kayak.

  

  A couple of straps and away she goes.

Nick had to build in extra height and strength into his trolley, his launching area is only accessible via a series of steps.

The top T-sections are 22mm copper pipe jointed with a compression fitting, when lagged the compression fitting sits snugly in the aluminum stopping the supports spinning. Folded it will fit neatly inside the front hatch.
