Heavy Duty Kayak Cart - for Kayaks and Canoes

It was extremely to assemble. No Directions are needed All you need to do it Look at it and its so easy. It fit my Perception Outlaw 11.5 perfect. The width adjustment is very easy. Just make sure if your Yak is not the same width they you know where you have the width set for for easy loading of your Yak into it. The ONLY thing I wish they had done was possibly install eyelets or something similar to fasten the tie down straps to. It would be much better for the price IF you didn't have to figure where to Tie your straps to it. a Slot or Loop welded on it would be much much better. I actually plan on Mounting a wide eyelet on each side for the straps to go threw instead of having to crawl down under the Yak and tie them to it. I have used it over some pretty rough ground sense getting it and Only drawback Is IF a rock big enough catch's one wheel it will turn over fairly easy or stop rolling on it. Have to MAKE SURE you use the Tie Downs on Rough hard ground to absorb the shock and vibrations. Yes I would purchase again and Yes I did recommend it to some of my Kayaking Friends. It is actually OVERPRICED for what it is BUT It is Very well made with Heavy Metal.

If you're looking for a small, flimsy, foldable cart that collapses every time you try to lift the kayak on .... this is not it!! This thing is seriously sturdy. Doesn't matter how far under the kayak you put it, it works with any kind of keel. I have the Old Town Loon106 Angler, which has a very sharp v-shape keel in the front and back, and is very flat in the middle. This is the first product that really works. Since its easy to put anywhere under the kayak you can balance out your kayak depending on how much weight you have in it. Makes transporting your loaded kayak easy. It also doesn't twist off the bottom like other v-shape frames whenever you go over uneven ground since the two side bars hug the bottom/side of the keel, and have no play when the straps are tight. One thing to consider, though: sturdiness comes with a price. This cart weighs 13lbs, and is bigger than those other folding carts. The wheels are rather large and they're the heaviest part as well. I added pictures with my Loon106 Angler for reference which is 10'6" long and 31" wide. A bit on the pricey side, but after trying several other kayak carts, this one is so different and actually makes transporting your kayak over longer distances so easy.

My kayak is the Bonafide SS107 sit on top fishing kayak, weighing in at 67 lbs without gear and approaching around 95 - 100 fully loaded (fishfinder battery, seat, poles, rod, pole anchor, tackle box, etc). I initially purchased and used a Malone MPG504 Xpress Scupper-Style Kayak Cart (it broke at the frame during 1/2 mile hike along a trail - cheap aluminum and clearly not up to the weight. This cart is rated at 450 lbs. Assembly: simple half page of visual instructions but it helps if you are a bit of engineer to understand how it goes together properly. You may want to check YouTube for video help. There are only basic set of parts, so it took me about 25 minutes to get it going. Part of the deal is making sure the tubes are aligned to your kayak (mine is tri-hull design, and the support tubes fit perfectly because they are adjustable!). The cart has two levels, high and low. I built mine high but didn't get the impression there was more than a couple of inches between "low" and "high". Sturdiness: The material are well made. Once together, I loaded the kayak by dragging the front end to the front of the cart in the first picture (I saw a video review that showed this - ingenious), then pulled it up and over - the cart settled nicely in the middle of the cart. Next, you take the two cam straps and tie the kayak on. Cam straps are very long so they should cover everything. Note: I'm not a fan of cam straps - I like ratchet types but Wilderness Systems thoughtfully put a heavy piece of leather/cloth to avoid the metal scratching the yak. Performance: simply awesome. While my kayak was not loaded at 67 lbs, maneuvering this was a piece of cake. I took it all over my driveway then over my very thick lawn (small hills). I also liked how the wheels allow you to pivot circularly in place (makes it easy to move in any direction). I just hand tightened the cam straps but that worked out just fine with no slippage. I haven't yet tried a major hike yet, but am I convinced this puppy will do trick nicely. At 200 bucks, it's one of the costliest carts out there but you get what you pay for here. If you intend on any kind of heavy kayak hauling, make the the investment!

I have attempted using a couple of different cheaper ($40-$60) folding carts with my kayak. I often found the carts wouldn't stay in place and would also collapse or slide off in any kind of rougher terrain. I primarily fish different creeks and rivers that don't always have the best put in locations. This cart has truly been a champ at getting my kayak from the truck to the water. When I have all my gear on the kayak it is right around 100 pounds but with the cart just behind the center of the boat, it pulls with very little resistance. The assembly is pretty straight forward and it does store upside down in the rear of my kayak fine while leaving room for a medium dry bag and my lunch. Once the load rails are adjusted to the grooves in the bottom of the kayak's haul, you are able to pull the kayak around smooth ground without a strap with no issues. I still utilize the strap when going up/down hills or over rough ground. If you are in the market for a good kayak cart and have a heavier sit on top fishing kayak, don't waste your money trying the other ones and just start here. Also, before you use a post style scupper cart be sure to check with your manufacturer. Most kayaks warranty will not cover any damage caused by this style of cart and they can also be difficult to load.

Excelente calidad en sus componentes,muy satisfecho con la compra,súper recomendable

Old Town owners look no further. Got two of these for our Sportsman 120PDL's. They are easy to get the kayak loaded and moving to the water. The cradles fit nicely in the centre of the kayaks and more than enough clearance for the wheels, They break down and fit in the front hatch. Just perfect!!! Quick update, if on flat level surfaces, no need to use straps, but as you deal with inclines and dirt and gravel paths it is a must or the cart slides out the back of the kayak. But once on, they hold tight and does not change my opinion. I especially like that they are not attached to the cart like some others, so they don't get in your way

Would like to recommend this kayak cart to all my friends in Singapore.. it's strong and tough.. easy to pull along the beach..

This thing is easily the best kayak cart on the market. I tried a few others and while they might be fine for a lighter kayak they are no good for a heavy yak. This thing is a beast, distributes the weight well, and takes a beating over all terrain. You won’t regret the money you spend on this, you’ll be glad you spent it!

Has many adjustable features. Sturdy built. On my part, had no problems with the tires. Handles very well.. A bit pricy but in our case it was worth it.
