@aljotock. thanks and good call on the third leg. I've been place the cart on top of my small Pelican case and it worked out for me but definitely...one day I will add a small third leg that can be swing up/down. Have a great day!

c'est assez simple mais on peut pas le mettre dans un kayak

@gruuz

Salutations de Houston, au Texas.

Les roues peuvent être stockées à l'intérieur du kayak. La création se transforme en un stockage caisse avec quatre haut-support de canne à pêche. Au Texas, les pêcheurs en kayak ont aussi une caisse pour transporter des articles de pêche supplémentaires (traduit par Google).

what is the rod that sticks into the wheels called. It looks like he inserts a hitch pin clip into it to secure the wheel. Thanks.

[quocducnguyen]

Its a half inch aluminum rod from Home Depot. I drilled two holes at the ends to put the hitch pin.

Nice. Serves as it's own storage! Where did you get the wheels for it and the axle?

[quocducnguyen]

The aluminum axle rod is from Home Depot and the wheels are from Northern Tool. Yes, it serves as a storage bin and 4 fishing rods holder.

@SleepYouBastard We have the same issues here in the US with mattress tags.

milk crates are fairly easy to "borrow" *wink wink* from schools or even colleges. Just find where the back of the cafeteria is...usually a dumpster and loading dock...and most of the time there is just a stack sitting out there. Might have to try diff days of the week. Just a suggestion :) Thanks for the video!!! I think im donna try this!

This is a cool little cart. I'm looking at getting maybe getting a larger canoe. This cart will help out in that respect.

Great use of a tennis ball!

Brilliant. You guys keep Youtube alive! I've coped out and bought a C - Tug, but, if I may, can I suggest a little extra leg at the back which stands the trolley upright until you put the kayak on? My mate's got a C - tug with no extra leg and it's a pain to use.

TOTAL BADASS

Made one used it on my jon boat.....worked great! Forget a trailer or waiting by the loading dock take it through the woods and launch it practically anywhere! Thanks!

VERY CLEVER! Now, if I could only pull it behind my car.
