QuickLok Dinghy Launching Wheels - Workshop Installation

$415.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

With our new QuickLok Dinghy wheels you have even more freedom than ever.  Freedom to easily move your boat along the beach or down the boat ramp.  Freedom to quickly remove them and pack your boat away.  They are designed to be low profile so they sit in behind your transom and don't interfere with your outboard.

Our QuickLok wheels are manufactured in New Zealand from marine grade stainless steel (316).  What this means for you is they don't corrode.  They have a unique release system that takes literally a second to remove them.  There are no aluminium parts to cause bi-metal corrosion which is a common problem, especially around salt water.

The large 265mm diameter wheels will power over most terrain with ease.  A simple self-locking mechanism keeps them in place whether they are in the up or the down position.  In the unfortunate situation that your dinghy flips upside down with the wheels attached in the on water position, the auto-lock system will prevent them from detaching from the boat.

Please note wheels purchased through this option are installed by True Kit as part of the package.

QuickLok Dinghy Wheels by True Kit

Each wheel has 4 strong stainless studs that get mounted onto the transom making the wheels clip on and off the transom with a single push of the locking plate.  While our wheels are perfect for a True Kit dinghy, they can be purchased and fitted to nearly any other brand of dinghy (choose self-fitting option).

catamaran efficiency

The Discovery inflatable catamaran hull has significantly less drag than a typical deep-v hull. This allows for much smaller, lighter, more affordable and more fuel-efficient outboard engines. You need less horsepower to enjoy a thrilling ride

aluminium transom

Our in-house design team started with a clean sheet of paper. We have created an incredibly stiff, lightweight structure using unique shapes and quality materials. The triple fold provides strength and direct power transfer from the engine to the boat while also being very light. The whole transom is finished to super yacht level with the AkzoNobel powercoat system.

Unique Tru-Alu transom
lightweight

We strive to keep the weight out of our inflatable boat range to make our dinghies manageable by anyone. Carrying and rowing these boats is a breeze, and for our larger designs we have our exclusive QuickLok Dingy Launching Wheels. 

Whether you are using your True Kit as a tender and need to pull it onboard the mothership, or your True Kit is the water-going extension of your caravan, keeping it light is critical. The secret is in our thermo-welded seams and superior fabrics, which help us to remove all unnecessary weight from the boat.

rubbing protection

Our Discovery range all have the extra layer of protection on the bottom of the tubes. This helps to give you peace of mind when sitting the boat on the beach or boat ramp.

thermo-welded seams

The seam can be an inflatable boat's Achilles Heel - or the strongest part.  We choose to thermo-weld the seams on our boats  to create the strongest bond available (a permanent mechanical bond).  A welded seam on a True Kit inflatable actually becomes stronger than the fabric itself. Don't settle for glued seams.

True Kit partner with Railblaza to bring you the Ribports installed on the tubes of every True Kit. You can clip in oars, rod holders, lights and many other fittings into these ports.

valmex fabric

Quality and durability were uppermost in our minds when we were choosing the materials for the True Kit range.  After extensive research and testing we chose the world’s leading, premium fabric for inflatable boats - Valmex® by Mehler Germany. 

•Mehler has over 60 years’ experience in the development of textiles

•Mehler uses the most advanced technology to ensure their high quality, German made textiles are longer lasting

•The Valmex® fabric demonstrates superior flexibility, elasticity, airtightness and resistance against mechanical damage and UV

•Valmex® is recyclable

•Manufactured in Germany under the internationally recognised standard of quality: ISO 9001:2008

catamaran stability

Experience what we call "stand up stability". The nature of inflatable catamarans means all the buoyancy is on the outside. This provides an incredibly stable platform for stepping in and out of the dinghy.

Is it ok to fold and unfold the boat multiple times?

Yes. We specifically designed our entire True Kit range with folding the boats up in mind.  This is one of the reasons we use the highest quality fabrics and construction available. Cheaper fabrics lose their flexibility and durability over time compared to Valmex® which maintains its suppleness over years of use.

What is the difference between the Navigator and Discovery Models?

Both boats share exactly the same materials and construction methods. The designs also share a similar catamaran platform which offers superior stability and performance when compared to conventionally designed inflatables. The main difference is in the bow section. The Navigator is primarily designed for yacht tender purposes and has a high volume tube running all the way around the bow. This means you can load the dinghy up with more people and gear and have them close to the bow. The Discovery has parallel tubes which are tapered towards the bow. This creates less volume in the bow area which increases performance and also allows the bow to be pushed close to the water when weight is placed there.

What gurantee do you offer?

We offer a 5 year limited warranty on new boats.  Warranty terms can be found in the Warranty page on our websiteTrue Kit Warranty. Actually, boats built with Valmex® 20 years ago can still be seen zipping around demonstrating exceptionally long life expectancy.

Please read our frequently asked questions to find out more.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

Our commitment to producing outstanding inflatable boats has created the head-turning True Kit Discovery, which is clearly no ordinary inflatable boat. 

Unlike a conventional bow, this design ensures that swimmers can exit and return to the boat easily. The bow shape also makes boarding from your yacht, launch or the dock much safer
We have created an incredibly stiff, lightweight structure using unique shapes and quality materials. The triple fold provides strength and direct power transfer from the engine to the boat while also being very light.
True Kit conducted extensive sea trials of the landing craft bow to ensure that it was capable of handling rough conditions

Awesome product!

I would really give this a 4.5 stars.

The only negative I could say is, I wish it had a lightweight non punctured wheels on it. It was a little difficult to blow up the tire wheels. The valves was difficult to get a hold off for tire inflation.

Other than that, The simple design is very clever and elegant. It works really well.

Thank you.

Hi David thanks for the feedback. When we designed our Quicklok wheels we did and lot of R&D and tested many different types of tires both 'hard' wheels and pnuematic wheels. We tested in a variety of terrain including roads, rocks, beaches, esturaries. What we found was the pnuematic wheels were vastly superior at getting over terrain and much more comfortable for the person pulling the boat. The advantage of being able to adjust tire pressure for the type of use is also great as you can drop pressure for very soft sand conditions (increasing surface area). If you would like we can supply 'hard' Railblaza wheels of the same diameter and they will fit straight into the Quickloks - just let us know. Cheers Rod

Amazing design

Have used cheap dinghy wheels before that were a pain compared to how easy the Truekit wheels are.
