Inflatable PVC Hauling Roller “Super Boats” – 500 kg Capacity, 32 cm Diameter
The “Super Boats” 500 kg hauling roll is a versatile inflatable roller/fender that complements the heavier 600 kg model. With a 32 cm diameter, it is slightly wider, providing added buoyancy and shock absorption, albeit with a bit lower maximum load capacity (500 kg). This makes it perfect for scenarios where you need more cushioning rather than maximum load – for example, for fiberglass boats, ribs, or wooden hulls that you want to handle very gently.
Made of the same tough PVC with double-wall reinforcement, “Super Boats” is optimized for all hull types. It’s particularly useful for hulls with delicate finishes or softer chines, as the larger diameter softens the contact. It’s also marketed as suitable for all boats in a marina context – meaning you can use it as a giant fender strapped to a piling or dock corner to protect boats that come alongside (hence the name).
Uses and Features:
- When hauling lighter boats (rib tenders, sailing dinghies, etc.), this roller can be used singly. For heavier boats up to 1–2 tons, you would use multiple units like rollers under a boat cradle – each taking up to 500 kg of the load.
- The “Super Boats” roller can also serve as a dock bumper: Its 32 cm thickness and 125–130 cm length make it an excellent cushion if tied to a vertical dock pillar or wall. Boats can rest against it without any scratching – the soft EVA-like inflation will gently bounce the boat off. (It’s like a removable, ultra-thick fender for marina berths.)
- Because of its high volume and 500 kg buoyancy, you can use it in water as a temporary float. For example, if salvaging a sunken object or needing a quick float for a heavy mooring line, this roller can be inflated and attached to provide lift.
- Ease of handling: It inflates and deflates just as easily as the 600 kg model. Despite the name “Super Boats”, it’s actually very manageable in size and weight when deflated – it rolls up to a small bundle. Many sailors include one of these in their long voyage kit for emergency haul-outs or as a precaution for unexpected groundings.
In summary, the 500 kg “Super Boats” hauling roll is a multi-purpose inflatable tool that offers heavy-duty assistance slightly scaled for medium loads and maximum cushioning. It’s an excellent choice for boat owners who want the flexibility of a hauling device that can also act as a large protective fender or buoy. Whether you’re pulling your boat onto a beach, protecting it against a rough pier, or need extra flotation in a pinch, this roller is up to the task. It’s durable, easy to use, and adds a margin of safety and convenience in boat handling operations.
