All-Terrain Super-Duty Cart Replacement STRAPS

I'm so glad Suspenz carries replacement parts. I had cut the straps that came with my canoe cart short thinking I could lash it across the gunwales, but without slotted gunwales the canoe kept sliding off the cart. The new, longer straps allowed me to reconfigure my cart setup and now it wheels perfectly!

The All Terrain cart’s sturdy construction and large wheels make it well suited for transporting a kayak or canoe across rugged terrain. When positioned correctly, boats remain secure and are easy to pull over rocky trails and exposed tree roots. Finding the proper balance point takes practice, but it makes the boat easier to pull and secure. I recommend practicing in your backyard before your first trip to avoid frustration at the trailhead.
Even with practice, positioning the boat at the correct balance point may take several attempts. The cart can also slide on loose gravel or slick surfaces—even with the brake engaged—as it does on my garage’s polished concrete floor. In these conditions, I secure the canoe or kayak as well as possible, move the cart to firmer ground, and then readjust it. Loading on slippery surfaces may become easier with more practice.
The foot brake can be difficult to disengage and may require lifting the boat.
Loading a boat onto the cart can be challenging at a busy launch crowded with paddlers inflating paddleboards or larger boats entering from trailers. When I feel pressure to load quickly and clear the area, it is difficult to take the time needed to recenter the boat if it slides down the cart.
Because these launch areas usually have paved or hard-packed dirt surfaces, I plan to buy a DLX flat-platform cart, which should be easier to use there.
Despite these challenges, I give the All Terrain cart five stars because it performs exceptionally well on rugged ground. However, about 90% of my launches are on easy terrain at moderately busy boat ramps. For my needs, the best solution will likely be two carts: one for quick, easy launches and another for rough, uneven terrain.

One final note: Suspenz provides excellent customer service. When I called for advice, I spoke with a knowledgeable representative—not an unhelpful bot—who helped me solve my problem..
