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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
