Kari-tek trolley

[gbthejoiner]

Anyone on the forum got one of these or had any experience of one.
Thanks for any help.

Graham if you are thinking of paying that much go for the CTug. Like the Kari-Tek it is expedition proven. The expedition though was a tough trip for walkers let alone pulling a kayak. It was to the three highest waters in England, Scotland and Wales containing fish.

If any other trolley has been tested in a tougher environment than this ....BUY IT!!!

Seriously Graham CTugs are well respected. Often imitated but never bettered.

The reason I asked, I have a chance to buy one second hand and I am not familiar with them I thought I would ask, have to say that the c tug you showed me did look real nice.

[Izzetafox]

Oh I see.... never seen or heard of anyone having one Graham. If their roof rack is anything to go by then it should be quality.

Thanks for your help again Terry. Have to say can't find much on the net either.

Okay, I have just found it. The shape of the cradle is designed for sink kayaks as the carrier is one piece and would not work for a SOT kayak as we have a shaped underside on the vast majority of kayaks. The design of the c-tug and the new Camel trolley that I have just done a review on has two pads with nothing in between to allow for the deeper centre section of the hull.

I would save your money. Here are some links.

I have found the Camel to be better than the c-tug but as it is new, we have to wait to see if it as good over time, judging by the build quality, I think the Camel will start to find many followers in the UK.
