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
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. …😢
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.
