Question:

I have built a dock for a catamaran. The dock is a couple of feet above the water. I am thinking of adding two of these, one for each pontoon, to help me roll the catamaran onto the dock. The catamaran weighs approx. 320lbs. Will these be strong enough to hold most of that weight? Much appreciated.

I reached out to my contact at CE Smith and unfortunately they were unable to provide a weight capacity of the # CE32100G you were looking at.

Another option that I know will work is adding the CE Smith Roller Bunks for Boat Trailers - 6 Rollers Each - 5' Long - 1,500 lbs - 1 Pair # CE27710 to your dock. These roller bunks have a weight capacity of 1500lb so they will be plenty strong for your Catamaran that weighs 320lbs, and putting one bunk under each pontoon will make getting the boat out of the water much easier.

I included a video of the # CE27710 for you to take a look at.
