YakAttack TowNStow Bunkster kayak trolley (solid wheels)

YakAttack TowNStow Bunkster is a kayak cart for hard surfaces. The anodised aluminium axle, UV resistant polymer supports and stainless steel fasteners make up a build that the manufacturer covers with a lifetime warranty. The three-piece BeadLoc wheels are airless, so they don't need pumping and can't be punctured.

Key features

✓ BeadLoc airless wheels - 30.5 cm diameter, 6.4 cm wide, rubber tread

✓ Two support legs - one on each side, they lock away when not in use

✓ Wheels come off at the push of a button - no wrenches and no screwdriver

✓ 204 kg on a smooth surface, 136 kg on a trail, 91 kg when going over a 13 cm step

BeadLoc airless wheels
The three-piece BeadLoc wheel is 30.5 cm in diameter and 6.4 cm wide, with a rubber tread that grips concrete and gravel. There's no air in the tyre, so it doesn't need pumping and can't be punctured. The wheels are made for hard surfaces: for soft sand there is a separate version with inflatable wheels.

Bunk supports with rubber bumpers
Two fixed supports rest against the kayak hull parallel to its line, so the load is spread over a larger area and the hull is not deformed. Four press-fit rubber bumpers are fitted on the supports, which don't crumble the way ordinary foam does.

An axle with several tie-down loops
The loops in the wheel hubs suit when the kayak is wider than the cart base, and the loop at the centre of the axle when the boat is narrow. All are made for a 25 mm wide strap with a buckle or rope up to 8 mm. Straps are not included.

Five pieces that fit in a hatch
The wheels come off with a button, and the supports slide off the axle when you lift the orange lever. Five separate pieces remain, which fit in the hatches of most kayaks. You don't need to take the cart back to the car or leave it unattended on the shore.

Who is the TowNStow Bunkster kayak cart for?

We recommend it if:

✓ You paddle from a concrete ramp, a gravel road or a paved car park

✓ You don't want to worry about tyre pressure and punctures

✓ You need to take the kayak to the water alone, with no helper

✓ You want to keep the cart in the kayak hatch rather than leave it on the shore

The Bunkster is a simple solution that won't fail within a single season. If your way to the water crosses sand or mud, choose the version with inflatable sand wheels.
