Kayak Carts and Tips

I have a 2016 Hobie Pro Angler 14 and ended up getting the below Hobie Trax 2-30 Kayak Cart, this cart makes transporting the Hobie Pro angler 14 a breeze.

I ended up getting the Trax 230 mainly because it has welded beads of metal on each of the cart posts that prevent the collar (Cart Post Bushing) from sliding down too far.

Make sure any Kayak cart you build or buy has a collar support that you can adjust to keep the wheels from rubbing on the bottom of the kayak. or the dirt, sand or shell will rub a hole into your cart.

The Hobie Trax 2-30 Kayak Cart has new 30 cm (blow-molded polyurethane) pneumatic tires. These tires have a higher capacity and are very durable! The rim is a smaller diameter which gives a larger sidewall to prevent pinching and valve damage under heavy loads. The pressure range is double that of the original Trax wheels (now 3-4 lbs) which is easier to maintain.

The Hobie Trax 2-30 Cart has a 242 lb capacity. This is the best all around cart for soft sand and uneven terrain. The tires are wide and can be deflated for better performance over soft sand and soil. Welded Stainless steel construction, solid stainless axle. Wheels are easily removable for storage. Also includes cart keeper feature and cart clamps. To use the Trax 2-30 cart with a Tandem Island requires the use of the Tandem Island "Plug-In" Cradle to disperse the load.

Kayak Cart Tips.

• Make sure that your cart will support your kayak
• Make sure your cart has a collar support that you can adjust to keep the wheels from rubbing on the bottom of the kayak.
• Make sure the wheels are for the terrain you transport your kayak on. (Sand, Rocks, Shell) etc.
• Place some tennis balls over the collar to soften up the collar that touches your kayak.
• if your Kayak come close to the wheels you may want to get a cradle that would keep the wheels from coming into contact with the kayak.

Hobie Heavy Duty Cart
The Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart has a much higher capacity and tires with tread that are more rugged than the standard plug-in cart or the Trax carts. The Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart's capacity far exceeds the weight of the heaviest Hobie kayaks. Tire capacity lists as over 200 lbs per tire. These tires are foam filled and standard rubber tire with deep tread pattern.The Hobie Heavy Duty Plug-in Kayak Cart is the recommended cart for the Tandem Island.
