C-Tug Kayak and Canoe Trolley with Sandhopper Wheels, Green

One of the best decision I ever made in buying this specific kit in my kayaking venture. I had everything else but couldn't face the hassle of the old wheels that slipped every time I was taking my kayak down to my close river. Now I can confidently leave without having to adjust it at all after going up/down pavements and crossing the road. I turned the plates on an inward facing position which can be done and this suited my hull best. So easy to set up and dismantle. And lightweight. Never have to manage or check deflating tires! Makes going off for my trip hassle free and definitely worth the extra money for the confidence and whole experience (I found the previous once so stressful) and now I can travel further to the better slipway🙌 . Excellent quality kit! You won't regret it! Delivery was quick also.. Only a couple of days and I was off🙃 Tips: I watched youtube channels for the webbing threading to buckle at the beginning which really helped. Also watched a couple of others for the actual assembling, but visual is my preferred choice of instructions for my Neuro brain. But the paper ones that come with it would be no problem….i used both! Hope this helps in your decision!

First trolley I bought from Decathlon. Quality was superb , price was half of this one but Kayak even slipped after straps so returned same day. Second trolley I bought was TITAPS for almost same price as this one. Simply awesome design, compact, easily foldable but same problem. Kayak even slipped after straps thus returned via Amazon same day. This was my third attempt to buy something suitable for my "Pelican™ Mission" Kayak and it worked like wonders. Top Pros:- 1. Wide enough for any size of Kayak 2. Compact enough if you want to store in Kayak storage 3. Easily dismantles (don't folds like TITAPS but dismantles in seconds) (Though I will never dismantle and will use bungee ropes in rear Kayak storage) 4. Very big wide wheels with thin rubber layer. You try it on shingle , sand, mud, grass, tarmac, it is simply impossible to slip 5. Quality is top notch. Made in New Zealand. 6. Design and Concept is fantastic. Can't skid , can't slip. 7. If you are confused about size, design or your Kayak , suitability and compatibility. One thing I can assure this Kayak should work smoothly for any design of Kayak. It's design of side wings are meant to self adjust as per Kayak design. CONS:- 1. Pricey :- Kayak trolleys starts from £30 and goes upto £200. This is off-course pricey but I am ready to pay for this price if it grantees it won't slip and it is for sure best choice. 2. Stand:- Stand in this Kayak looks flimsy however I doubt it will brake easily. I will see how it goes. Over all 5 Star rating. If that would have been a failure only option for me left out was diy.

This is a great trolley. Lightweight and robust, it carries our 4.6 inflatable kayak securely even over rough ground. Also works well on tarmac and loose sand. It is quick to take apart and store onboard when setting off. Well thought out, the only niggle is the folding leg, which lets the whole thing down; it is way too flimsy and does not stay down when loading the craft on top of it. But for the flimsy leg, this would be a five-star product.

OK. Before I purchased this trolley, I posted questions about its suitability for use with an open (Canadian) canoe. No-one had experience of using the trolley for this purpose, but helpful replies gave me the courage to invest. I'm glad I did. (Yes, I know that it is called a "Kayak and Canoe Trolley" but the word "canoe" is widely interpreted. The product description calls it "The C-TUG kayak cart" and the website only shows kayaks. And I was scared of wasting nearly £100!) But, bottom line, it works. Actually, it works brilliantly. It arrived disassembled, and the instruction leaflet is not great (as one other reviewer had stated - but it took me only 5 minutes to assemble. No screws required. The most difficult thing was working out how the straps fitted - but a bit of thought solved the conundrum. Assembled, the trolley is pretty rugged, especially as it's plastic throughout, and light - about 10 lbs. The wheels are secure but also easy to remove for storage on board if required. The adjustable pads mean that any craft, whether V or flat keeled, can be accommodated. My Open Canoe is a Hou Canoes 15ft 7 inch Prospector, weighing around 34 kgs. The trolley is rated for 120 kgs, so no problem here. The Prospector has very little keel, but the pads fold flat to hold her securely. With the strap secured, the trolley is very stable, and manoeuvring is exceptionally easy. Portages are a breeze, and gravel and firm sand pose no problems. So, expensive - yes. But I spent half the price some years ago on a trolley that was not fit for the job - a waste of money. You don't always get what you pay for - but in this case you do, I think.

Love it. I brought cheap and payed the price my old wilderness wheels were a bar that pushed through my drain holes in my kayak znd after years of use they worn the plastic and stretched until it split and its such a bad area i kicked myself for not buying the c tug years ago. I went cheap and paid a massive price. Now purchased a new wilderness tarpon 140 and a 135 tandem I purchased the c tug and wow what a difference brilliant bit of kit I will be purchasing another for my tandem tarpon 135t so we will have no misshaps with kayak being damaged by cheap wheel set ups. I found if you don't have internal storage the wheels are difficult to stow on top of kayak but no real issue. Odd squeak when pulling but maybe a lubricant can be put on thats OK for plastic to stop it but its not bad just a little annoying at times. All fits together OK and comes apart no problem use your muscles a bit lol. Other wheels are available for sand i have no problem with the wheels that came with the kayak but not been on too soft sand yet. Fully plastic so salt water not an issue. Strsp fixing is quite heavy duty but good quality. Stap fits and holds my tarpon 100 ok so should be fine on any kayak from 10ft to 14ft or bigger. I think you can adjust to low or high ride height mine us set to low and im 6ft and is just about managed ok. If straps are too short I'd be amazed they are quite long but you'd only need to fix a longer one yourself they are just straps at end of the day. I found locking on the wheels was one to remember I fitted the wheels and turned wheels upside down and wheel fell off I found the locking mechanism you have to push down and it all locks so wheel won't fall of but I only turned upside down to store my wheels and c tug in one piece on my kayak. Should be no issues if you purchase i found it held my kayak well pity I didn't buy years ago instead of going for cheaper design that damages your kayak.. look forward to years of use on my new two kayaks both wilderness tarpon One is a 140 and other a q35 tarpon in galaxy colour pity wheels are green lol.. have fun all

Previously I had wobbly collapsing wheels with a thin strap, that were a nightmare and barely fit for purpose...although I see them used regularly, by others. However C-Tug wheels/trolley were recommended to me and I am so thrilled at how easy the kayak is placed on the trolley...(the rubber pads prevent it slipping off prior to the strap being secured), the strap itself is wide and is easily tightened and secured around the kayak and doesn't moved around or come loose. I was so very happy at the ease of both mounting and securing the kayak and then pulling it to the water I immediately purchased a second trolley for my husband. They are brilliant ..and my colleague who recommended this has been using his weekly for a number of years and it is still going strong......they are expensive.....but very much worth it for both the ease and the avoidance of scrapes and bangs to your kayak falling from less well designed and stable trolleys. I used 'You Tube ' footage to initially secure the straps and buckles and also to assemble the trolley initially...think I would have been frustrated without this as the diagrams are pretty basic.

I absolutely love this! I owned one about 20 years ago but gave it away thinking I wouldn't be kayaking again. However, it wasn't long before I was back on the water. I bought a trolley for half the price. The plastic screw mounts soon snapped and the trolley was forever tipping over, after looking at reviews and images of other trolleys I knew I had to go back to the C-tug. It's strong, reliable and won't tip up. Definitely worth paying the extra for I know it will last for many years and it is reliable.

The stand did feel the weakest part and snapped off after the second use!. Used a couple of times now and is nice and easy to set up and strap the kayak to. The rubber pads hold well to the kayak. It breaks down and fits in my kayak quite easily. It’s quite expensive compared to other trollies.
