Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart Wheeleez Tuff Tire Kayak Cart

I have the first generation of this cart that I use for my Heritage Redfish Angler 12'. Not much has changed other than the shape of the pads. This has been an outstanding cart, handling the toughest terrain and conditions that I have thrown at it. I store the wheels in the front hatch, and the frame under the bungees in the back of the cargo well. HINT: I use only bungees to attach the cart to the kayak most of the time; the bungees are quicker and work just as well most of the time. I also carry my kayak face up, so I attach the cart before lowering the kayak, dropping the cart on the ground so that the wheels hit first--no gravel scratches on my boat! I also keep spare lynch pins on the kayak and in the trunk of my car; they are inexpensive and available at any hardware store (they eventually lose their springiness and need to be replaced anyway). My only complaint is that the cart will work itself loose--I have had bolts fall off. Just check your cart after every use.

I use this cart to transport my 12ft kayak from my vehicle to the put in and back at various lakes on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. At my closest lake I have a 100 meter hike along a gravel trail and sandy beach area, this cart makes it easy. At no time has my kayak shifted, came lose or fell off. The kick down stand assits when placing the kayak on to the cart. The straps are good and keep the kayak in place. You can also use the stand upside down on the vehicle to allow the wheels to assist with loading the kayak on to the roof rack. The only downside is the keeper pins for the wheels they can realily fall out. I wrap a piece of wire from the ring around the pin that seems to keep them from releasing. All in all a good cart.
