Let me show you the features of of Beachmaster retractable boat launch wheels and how they work. These are the best boat wheels out there. Beachmaster Website: www.beachmaste...
Love the wheels pity the beach master bunch in NZ refuse to ship them out to us in SE Asia. We tried a few years ago as well from Africa but got told we don’t ship there. …😢
Its quite weird their website mentions no specs. No load limits or manual or anything. Wondering if they would handle a 337 kg (740 lbs) boat+engine weight.
You need to roam around a bit to find it, but the Beachmaster website does list load limits in the specification section. They recommend a working load of 220 lbs. (100 kg) per set and a maximum load limit 440 lbs. (200 kg) per set. My boat with motor and gear is a little over 200 lbs. and the wheel units are very solid. From my use, I believe they would well carry the Beachmaster recommended 440 lbs. I think your 740 lbs. boat would be a stretch. I am usually launching/hauling from a boat ramp with an incline and would not want to pull a boat too much more than 200 lbs. up the ramp. For me, the limiting weight factor is how much weight I want to pull up a ramp, not the wheels.
@@NettleReef Thanks for the reply. I also contacted True Kit, makers of Quiklok Dinghy Wheels and their representative said that 740 lbs is good to go for their set, however it would be impractical especially for a solo boater like myself. I was interested in pulling the dinghy up on the beach, even if just a little bit. I'd like to do some island hopping you see. Gonna use a block and tackle for leverage, with a sand anchor if no trees are nearby. Impractical but not infeasible. I'm fine with impractical. Upside is that I get to use a heavier boat for the hopping that handles weather better
too bad they wouldn't work on kayaks.. i wonder if there could be a way side mounted on a flip down mount... gotta think about this....putting a yak on a cart can sometimes be a real pain...
These are really cool.. so's your little boat, and Cheers to your success 👍😎✊
Great video!
Thanks!

I like the True Kit Quicklok wheels better myself. Beachmaster get pretty sloppy as they age.
