The C-Tug kayak/canoe trolley is an easy way to carry your craft over rough ground and longer distances.
It's simple to assemble, lightweight (4.3kg) and strong. It can carry weights up to 120kg (300lbs).
The standard wheels are puncture free and grippy. They can be changed for sand specific wheels if needed (these are extra to purchase).
The rubber tread works really well on most surfaces and looks hard wearing.
The cradle on the trolley adjusts to suit the shape of the hull on your craft. The craft is strapped to the trolley to avoid it falling off.
In the kit form, the trolley can be easily packed into a kayak or canoe. It's made of plastic so is durable against mud and other soft abrasions and is easy to clean.
Assembly of the trolley takes a minute or so and is easy to do. Everything clips together and no tools are required. The straps are wide and strong and the buckle fastens well and feels secure.
When carrying your kayak or canoe, it is best to balance it with the trolley as close to the middle as possible (see photo below). This reduces the weight you need to lift when pulling the trolley.
Keeping the strap tight ensures the craft does not move and this makes pulling the trolley easier especially over bumpy ground.
Our trolley, which we have had since 2021, has been used on several trips and has worked really well.
There is a small stand on the trolley which is made of thin plastic. This does feel flimsy although it has worked fine for us.
For us, it's the best trolley available and we'd certainly recommend it.
You can see the assembly of the trolley in the video below:
