Suspenz Kayak Canoe Trailer Cart, Heavy Duty Kayak Transport Dolly with Airless Wheels, Yellow, 22-6699

Package arrived in good condition, in time, and is like expected, delivery man polite.

The Suspenz HD Airless Cart is well made, easy to assemble and light. It rolls easily over the pave boat ramp to the water even though the cart is loaded down with a Old Town Sportsman 120. The kayak is new and I have yet to fully rig the kayak, I'm putting that off until I figure out what accessories will best suit the way I fish. So the kayak may weigh in around 120 lbs. I have only used this cart once, on smooth pavement so I cannot say how the 10 inch wheels will do on rough ground. The straps with the quick release buckles are easy to use and are very capable of securing your kayak to the cart.I gave this kayak cart 5 stars even though the cart is not a good fit for my Old Town Sportsman 120. Because of the DoubleU hull design that keeps the kayak stable when standing on the deck of this fishing kayak, the cart is too narrow making it difficult to span the DoubleU design in the center of the kayak bottom. It causes one or the other contact points to slid into the U design tilting the kayak. I would have to take some time to adjust the kayak on the cart to make contact with the flat outer hull. That being said, I have found that if I move the cart further back on the kayak where the kayak is narrower the cart fits just fine. The rub is, because the cart is further back you wind up carrying more weight when you lift up the front of the kayak. I like the kayak more towards the center of the kayak, near the seat, to balance the weight and then its light, easy to move and maneuver. Its a little more trouble, a little more time but I prefer that to carrying more weight. I have a mod in mind already to fix this issue.Suspenz does have a cart that I think will fit better, All-Terrain Super Duty AIRLESS Cart. For $30 more I could have gone that route and skip the modification I will be making to the Suspenz cart that I ordered. By design the AT SD Airless Cart would carry a Old Town Sportsman using the DoubleU hull design. Looks like perfect match.Anyway if my mod does not work, I will give my grandson my Suspenz HD Airless Cart and purchase Suspenz All-Terrain Super Duty AIRLESS Cart. It's appears bigger, taller and folds up larger than the Suspenz HD Airless cart that I bought, which is why I made the choice I made. It looks like it would take up too much space in the kayak if I choose to carry it.Bottom line, I would not give it a second thought to make another Suspenz purchase, the quality is top notch, great finish, the straps looks to be of good quality. The buckle, it works fine but I have some reservation of the metal. I'll not ding it a star for a maybe. Let's see what happens down the road, time will tell. Over all, I think I will get years of service from this cart.

Works well. Used on a trip where a portage was necessary. Handles canoe with some gear in it over uneven terrain with roots and rocks with no issues.

Pleased with the quality and functionality of this cart. I have a Sea Eagle 385 kayak that I would either carry in the heavy and cumbersome pack or sometimes inflate and carry the still heavy and now awkwardly cumbersome kayak between my vehicle and the lake shore. With this cart, I inflate the kayak at the vehicle or campsite, secure it on the cart with the two included straps, and make an easy trek to the lakeshore. I love that it it folds down to fit in the carry bag, stows well in the kayak, that there is no worry about a flat tire with the solid rubber wheels, and that the wheels will float the carry bag should it fall overboard. I have two Hobie kayaks mounted on a Malone Microsport trailer but my inflatable is the go to if I'm not able to tow the Malone trailer.

Why only 4 stars? It was missing the wheel clips when shipped. Also, I lost one of the rubber stand feet within the first 200m on a trail.Why purchase? I bought it to replace a cheaper aluminum frame inflatable tire model and it was worth every penny. Besides the sturdy construction eliminates the fear of having a twisted piece of metal, the wider base makes the cart less tippy and the airless wheels remove any worry about a flat in the back country. The rubber bumpers show no signs of wear compared to the torn foam wraps on the old aluminum cart. I used this cart on a moderate back country path with 6" tree roots and small rocks. This cart felt like night and day compared to when I used the cheaper cart pulling a loaded kayak on the same trail.
