Trailer for Inflatable Boat

Description

The Mangrove Jack portable boat trailer is in a class of its own. Manufactured from aluminium and stainless steel, it is the simplest boat trailer to use, with no tools required!

Suited for:

Our standard trailer with inflatable kit is suitable for inflatables with removable floors from 2.5 to 3.9metres in length.

Please note: If the hull is the RIB type (Rigid hull inflatable boat) then only the optional bow receiver is required at $55, and not the inflatable kit. Please contact us for this option.

The inflatable kit consists of 3 items:

1. A special bow receiver that is quickly detachable from the front winch post.
2. The front underside of the inflatable keel is supported by a boomerang shaped bracket to suit.
3. At the rear, dual slider arms 800mm long, rotate to the hulls shape during loading and unloading. This feature is unique as these 800mm arms provide a rear tilting launching ramp for the easiest launch and retrieve.

The rear sliding arms are spaced apart at a distance to easily centre the bow of the boat prior to retrieval making it ideal for one person operation. Outboard weight is correctly carried by vertical transom contact with the lower trailer sliders, eliminating any stress to the hull seams.

Additional advantages of the inflatable kit with the dual rear sliders are:

1. Provides a central rear tie-down point from top of the transom to the lower protruding slider arms. This reduces the necessity for a long strap over the boat.
2. In most cases the 2 rear protruding slider arms provide a housing point for securing the outboard leg to prevent bouncing.

All 3 parts of the kit attach in seconds consistent with the quick assembly concept of the trailer design. No tools required.

The inflatable kit only adds 4kg to the standard 38kg trailer. Total 42kg all up.

Note that the lightboard will require an individual fitment by the customer post trailer manufacture. Some clients have been able to use the railblaza mounts (found at any good camping store) successfully to mount their lightboard.

Easy Assembly
The Mangrove Jack simply slides and clips into position in 2 minutes and can be disassembled in half that time. The wheels are easily removed and can be stowed separately.

The Mangrove Jack is so portable you can say goodbye to ramp/trailer parking fees and securely store your trailer in the back of your vehicle while you’re boating.

Easy to Use
The Mangrove Jack is packed with features making it the easiest to use boat trailer on the market. For example:

• The Mangrove Jack boasts a built-in extending hitch coupling, which makes reversing a little easier. This is particularly handy when winching where a spare wheel is mounted on the rear of the vehicle.
• The main drawbar is telescopic, using a dedicated extrusion with two rails that self-clean and prevent jamming.
• Boat retrieval is easy, even if the trailer is not coupled to a vehicle. The trailer is nicely balanced so that the boat can be winched up by one person if required.
• The centre roller has 18 possible adjustments and hull sliders are fully adjustable to accommodate various hull shapes.

Light Weight
Weighing in at just 38kg, the Mangrove Jack boat trailer is the lightest licensable boat trailer in Australia, with no heavy folding frame to lift. In fact, the heaviest piece is only 8kg. The inflatable kit only adds 4kg to the standard 38kg trailer. Total 42kg all up.

Built Tough
Don’t let the weight fool you. The Mangrove Jack boat trailer is so tough two men can stand on the drawbar. The chassis is built from aircraft grade aluminium and all fasteners are stainless steel while the use of large box section aluminium means the trailer does not require track rods or braces for stiffening.

Long Lasting
The Mangrove Jack boat trailer conforms to the latest ADR regulations.

It is manufactured from stainless steel and aluminium. All the aluminium components are fully anodised…. durable & corrosion free.
High-speed 6-ply tyres are utilised with approved alloy wheels on Holden stub axles and bearings complete with marine seals and Castrol boating grease. We use only top quality USA or Japanese made wheel bearings.

In fact, the Mangrove Jack is the only trailer in Australia with stainless steel stub axles let alone they are 316 Stainless Steel! It is also fully anodised to protect against weathering, making it incredibly durable and rust-free!
