Trem 400kg Inflatable Boat beach Rollers
Just a heads up really, Marine superstore have these at £15.95 at the moment, cheapest I found.
They are rated at 400kg max weight - 250mm dia. 1600mm length.
They dont take up much space when deflated at around 30cm x 30cm footprint.
They also have larger available 600kg max weight - 300mm dia. 1200mm length.
Click and collect if local or Postage fedex at £5.95.
I have no connection with the store, just thought it worth mentioning.

Trem 400kg Inflatable Boat beach Rollers
Agree. Purchased three a month ago for our tiny rib...ordered at 4.00pm and received next day. Excellent service from Marine Superstore.

Oh dear, bad news. I inflated 1 roller yesterday and it stayed firm for 24hrs which is more than enough time for what they are used for.
I inflated the other 2 I bought today to confirm they are all good before packing them away for the lockdown.
Both todays inflations failed to hold air for more than a few minutes, one deflated within a few minutes, the other within an hour or so. I have emailed the seller, but thought I should report here in case others have purchased what may turn into a bad batch!
The seller has responded by sending 2 replacements straight away without question.

Valve type
Good tip thank you.
Any idea what kind of valve they use? Hoping I can use existing pump without carrying another adapter...

Being that im old enough to have had my first covid jab & worked in noisy factories and garages most of my life I am pretty deaf. My daughter found both punctures in the rollers in a minute. Both were damaged on an external fold, probably in the manufacturing plant before bagging as the plastic packing didnt show the damage. I hope they perform better on the beach!

Mine are the same type and a few years old now... test them from time to time and so far they've held up OK.

I've used a set of these to move a Seine boat (a South Devon specific fishing boat that these days is raced in a competitive series, similar to the Cornish Gig series, but with 4 oars and a cox) up a shingly/sandy beach on a regular basis and they are game changing. Would highly recommend.

The 2 replacements have been inspected and tested for 48hrs, no leaks & the seller told me to dispose of the other leaky ones so they will get wader patches and get stored as 2nd reserves. Well done marinesuperstore.

Yep good result... it's not always about the fault but more how it's quickly resolved.

My 3 arrived promptly via fed-ex all in good working order. Bonus, my Avon pump fits the valve no problem.
Happy days!
Thanks again for the tip and the advice on the valves.

Thank you for the link.
I ordered 3 and they arrived this morning. Currently inflated in the garage to see if they have any leaks.
One thing you could always do with a knackered one after it is patched, is glue a couple of hooks on it to use as a fender.
