Kayak Carts Solves all Your Woes of Transportation with Kayak

One advantage of using a kayak cart to transport your kayak is that you can avoid injuries that may occur from lifting and carrying your kayak, which can often be quite heavy. Children and older individuals find this advantage to be the main selling point.

Most kayak carts allow the person using it to transport the kayak by hand however some kayak carts can also be attached to a bicycle and pulled for even easier transportation of the kayak. This is especially useful if the kayak needs to be transported over longer distances.

Plug in kayak carts are a type of kayak cart that features a frame with upright posts that plug in to specially designed holes in the bottom of some kayaks. This system makes mounting the kayak on the frame much easier, however not all kayaks feature these holes and can be used with plug in kayak carts.

Some kayak carts break down easily to enable them to fit inside the hatch of the kayak, other designs do not break down as easily for storage. Some kayak carts can also be carried on the kayak while in water.

When buying a kayak cart you should also consider the frame width and wheel clearance of the cart. What you need may depend on where you plan to use the kayak cart, for example a narrow frame would be unsuitable to use on uneven ground as it may flip. A low frame would be unsuitable to use with softer surfaces.

Kayaks can come in all different sizes and weights, and not so surprisingly, kayak carts are designed to handle different sizes and weights. One of the most overlooked qualities in a kayak cart is how deep of a kayak the cart can handle. Most people check the width and then check to see if the length can be handled easily enough, but very few people make sure the depth of the kayak can smoothly sit in the cart and travel across the necessary terrain.

Please consider the rigorous activity of kayaking, especially sea kayaking. After spending potentially all day kayaking would you really have the energy or stamina to carry a large kayak across the beach, over dunes and rocks and secure it to your vehicle? Very few individuals have the energy left to do all that, so that’s why the vast majority of kayakers will get themselves a nice, reliable kayak cart.
