Steep ramps can make launches tricky. Black rubber rollers strike the balance between smooth rolling and added grip, so your boat loads with control and stays put until youre ready to push off.
Would you rather push a box across the floor or move it with a dolly? That's the difference roller bunks make compared to carpeted ones. Each 4' bunk has five black rubber rollers that let your boat roll smoothly on and off your trailer. The rollers are meant to strike a balance: they roll easily when you want to launch or load, but they also provide enough grip to keep your boat from sliding off unexpectedly on a steep ramp. This lets you have a smooth launch and a controlled loading, without the fight that can come with worn-out carpet.
The frame of each bunk is built from heavy-duty galvanized steel, which is specifically designed to stand up to wet, harsh environments. Galvanizing provides a protective zinc coating over the steel, helping to prevent rust and corrosion season after season. That makes these roller bunks a great choice for freshwater or saltwater use, since trailers spend so much of their life exposed to water and weather. A solid steel frame also means you get consistent, full-length hull support, so your boat sits securely whether it's on the road or stored in the driveway.
No two boats sit on a trailer exactly the same, which is why these bunks are built with vertical adjustability. Being able to move the bunks up or down means you can dial in the setup so it matches the unique shape of your boat. For even more flexibility, you can add optional bolster support swivel brackets (sold separately). Those brackets allow the top plate to pivot, giving you the ability to angle the bunks so they contour more closely to your hull. This adjustment helps distribute weight evenly across the rollers and makes loading more predictable, especially for boats with deeper or more angled hulls.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at these Tie Down roller bunks for your boat trailer. Now, maybe loading and unloading your boat has been a pain lately with your current setup. Maybe the wooden bunks just don't glide like they used to, or maybe the carpet is starting to wear out. That's where these roller bunks are going to come in.
They are four feet long with five black rubber rollers each, which means that instead of dragging your boat across carpet, it's going to roll smoothly on and off your trailer. Now, these black rubber rollers are nice because they've got a little more grip than poly rollers, so the boat isn't going to slide around too quickly or unexpectedly once it's on there. It's a good balance though, smooth rolling when you want it, but also a little bit more hold so you can feel a little more in control. But we do have both options here, whether it's poly for that maximum glide, that maximum roll, or the rubber that we have here just to give you just a little more grip. Now, the frames, they're crafted of heavy-duty galvanized steel.
I kind of wanna give you an overhead view here and flip this one over just to show you that frame. So, galvanized steel, it's gonna give you robust and full hull support, ensuring that your boat is well protected during transport and storage. And these are also going to give you vertical adjustability, allowing you to customize the setup to match your boat-specific requirements. You can get optional bolster support swivel brackets to further enhance flexibility, ensuring a perfect fit for various boat sizes and types. Now, I do want to point out that you're going to get exactly what you see here, two bunks with five rollers each, but it does not include any hardware.
That's so you can choose the hardware that's gonna best suit your trailer and installation preferences, but we do have a variety of brackets and hardware that you can find here at etrailer.com. So again, two bunks that are four feet long and they measure that four feet with the bracket itself, so the bracket itself is going to be four feet long. And so, at the end of the day, it's about making boat loading safer, easier, and helping you get the maximum use out of your trailer, cutting down on the time of loading up your boat and unloading your boat. So if this meets the specs that you're thinking about, this is gonna be a great option for you to consider. But maybe you have some other questions that I didn't cover for you today.
If that's the case, make sure to give us a call, shoot us an email, start a chat with us on our website. Ultimately, we do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our brief time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
