Features to know about

Pedal to the Launch, Yak in Tow

Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart w/Bike Tow

Sometimes the best launch spot is a few miles down the trail and you don't want to carry a 90-pound fishing kayak the whole way. This cart lets you tow your boat behind your bike, keeping hands free and sweat to a minimum. It connects easily to your seat post and tracks smooth, so you can ride, not wrestle.



Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart w/Bike Tow

Wheels That Won't Quit

Forget dragging a dead tire through the parking lot. These solid wheels never go flat and handle uneven terrain like champs - cracked asphalt, gravel service roads, or that bumpy dirt trail that only seems to go uphill.

Stay Centered on the Way to the Water

The bunk-style frame cradles your boat from both sides, keeping it centered and steady while you tow or walk. No leaning. No flipping. No awkward stops to read. It's a better ride for your boat and a more entertaining trip for you.

From Rec Rigs to Full-On Fishing Machines

This isn't just for ultralight touring yaks. With a 150 lb capacity, the frame supports fishing kayaks, canoes, and gear-loaded setups without complaining. From river trips to backwoods camping hauls, it's ready to roll.

Cradle It, Dont Crush It

Nothing ruins a trip like discovering pressure dents where your hull rested. The foam-covered support arms spread out the load and keep your boat protected while you tow. Safe for the hull, easy on your nerves.

Storage That Doesnt Steal Space

Once you're done paddling, the cart breaks down fast. Pop off the wheels, fold the frame, and stash it in the garage or your gear closet. It's built to work hard when you need it, and conveniently store when you don't.

  • Can Malone Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart w/Bike Tow # MAL78CR Transport Hoodoo Tempest 140
    Hey Michael, yes the Malone Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart w/Bike Tow # MAL78CR that you referenced will work great to transport your 14 foot Hoodoo Tempest kayak and it can be submerged as needed to get the kayak in the water. I would just be careful pulling it in and out on the ramp as they can be pretty slick.

  • Availability Of Kayak Trailer Less Than 48" Wide
    Hello Ben, thanks for reaching out. As far as the kayak trailers we offer, we do not have anything less than 48" wide. For example, the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 is 54" wide overall. I did see you were looking at the Malone Forge Kayak & Canoe Cart # MAL78CR. This is 30" wide overall so it would work in that regard. This is meant to be towed with a bicycle though and it would not work with a standard hitch ball connection. Other than this, I am sorry to...
