Kayak Trolley

Posted by Freya on March 29, 2008

(Constructed by Gerard Maroske and Jochen Vetterlein, made by Freya Hoffmeister)

  • "Open-the-bag-and-pop-up" - construction

  • all in one piece, no loose parts, plus wheels

  • (no bag…)

  • weight 1685 g frame + 2070 g wheels (weight 3.71 lbs frame + 4.56 lbs wheels)

  • saltwater resistant V4a-Steel

Price: € 189,- (+ € 10,- shipping in Germany, 20 € shipping Western Europe)

I’m sorry I had to raise the price with the 2008 production, but my metal workshop charges me this year € 50 MORE just for the framework!! The green storage bag is not available anymore. Therefore the price is 189 € now.

This is how the trolley is stored best, always handy last, in - first out!

If you really need to store the wheels in the 24-cm hatches - stuff them in thin nylon-bags, they slide easily in and out again. And dirt stays out, too. Or take a small pump and release some air.

The long strap of the trolley should be tied around the front of the cockpit, to prevent the whole thing sliding off. The trolley should sit about under the seat.

Sorry, the trolley is temporarly not available! 

I’ll post when I feel like making some again…
