Move Heavy Fishing Kayaks from the Vehicle to the Water

Getting a loaded fishing kayak from the parking area to the launch can be one of the hardest parts of the trip, especially with pontoon, tri-hull, and other unconventional hull shapes. The Malone Traverse HD Bunk-Style Canoe & Kayak Cart uses adjustable bunks, a 250 lb load capacity, and airless all-terrain tires to create a stable transport platform for moving compatible canoes and kayaks over rough and rocky terrain.

Built for Heavy Kayaks, Unconventional Hulls, and Rough Ground

  • ✅ 250 lb (113 kg) load capacity supports transport of heavier canoes and fishing kayaks
  • ✅ Adjustable bunk width and height let you match the cart to different hull shapes, including pontoon and tri-hull kayaks
  • ✅ HD airless “Never-Go-Flat” tires eliminate the need to manage tire pressure before heading to the launch
  • ✅ High-grip rubber tread is made for moving over rough and rocky terrain between your vehicle and the water
  • ✅ Two-piece cam-style load strap secures the boat to the cart for transport
  • ✅ Push-button wheel release makes wheel removal simple without separate wheel-retainer clips to keep track of
  • ✅ Cart disassembles so it can be stored inside the kayak after reaching the water

Real-World Performance

For transport, Malone instructs you to adjust the bunks to capture your specific hull, position the boat on the cart approximately two-thirds of the way back, and tighten the two-piece strap around the boat. Lift the bow and pull the kayak toward the launch. Once there, the cart can be disassembled for convenient storage inside the kayak.

Make the Haul to the Launch Part of the Setup

Use the Traverse HD when your canoe or fishing kayak needs a high-capacity bunk cart that can be adjusted to its hull and rolled across rough ground without pneumatic tires.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Malone Traverse HD

What types of kayaks is the Malone Traverse HD designed to transport?

The bunk-style design fits most boats and is particularly useful for unconventional hull shapes such as pontoon and tri-hull kayaks. The bunks should be adjusted during the first loading so they properly match and capture your specific hull.

Where should I position the Traverse HD under my kayak?

Malone instructs users to place the boat on the cart approximately two-thirds of the way back, secure it with the supplied strap, then lift the front of the boat and pull forward for transport.

Are the Traverse HD tires suitable for rough launch access?

Yes. The MPG573 uses HD airless all-terrain tires with high-grip rubber tread that Malone specifies for rough and rocky terrain.

Can I take the cart apart after reaching the water?

Yes. Malone's instructions show the Traverse HD being disassembled for convenient storage inside the kayak after transport.

Can the Traverse HD be towed behind a vehicle?

No. Malone specifically states that the cart must not be towed with a motorized vehicle and is intended for canoe and kayak transport.
