Fast launch and recovery – thanks to EasyFold spring-loaded handle
A spring-loaded handle rotates the wheel assembly between upright and downward positions so pins do not need to be removed during deployment. A simple mechanical action completes the movement with a single motion.
Deploy wheels in seconds for launching and fold them down quickly once ashore, cutting the time and effort involved in routine manoeuvres.
Secure in-water performance – thanks to upright locking mechanism
Wheels lock into an upright position and remain attached to the transom while the craft is in the water, preventing unintended collapse. The locking action holds the assembly steady during launch and recovery.
Reliable locking gives confidence during launches and retrievals, reducing interruptions and the need to re-secure fittings mid-operation.
Durable, low-fuss maintenance – with marine-grade stainless steel and quick-detach tubes
Marine-grade stainless steel construction forms the mounting tubes and wheel fittings, while wing-nut fastenings allow the wheels and tubes to be detached rapidly for storage. The design keeps removal straightforward for off-season stowage.
Long-lasting materials and simple removal make storage and inspection easier, matching the needs of regular boat users who prefer low-maintenance kit.
