Hauling rolls

Boat rollers provide a practical and reliable solution for anyone who needs to launch and retrieve their boat independently, without having to resort to expensive cranes or equipped slipways. Whether you own a small RIB, a tender, or a light sailboat, using a quality boat roller greatly simplifies hull movement, reducing physical effort and minimizing the risk of damage to the hull.

Our selection of boat trailer rollers includes various sizes and materials to suit different boats and surface types. Models made of PVC covered fabric are distinguished by their exceptional resistance to abrasion, UV rays, and weathering, ensuring greater durability over time. Standard versions, on the other hand, offer a more economical and lightweight alternative, ideal for occasional use.

Osculati offers a complete range of boat rollers with load capacities reaching 600 kg, also suitable for use on trolleys and trailers. A well-sized roller is essential for distributing the weight of the boat evenly, preventing the formation of excessive pressure points on the hull and reducing the risk of deformation or structural damage.

Nautica Basile's Advice

* Carefully check the maximum load capacity of the roller before each use. An undersized roller could give way under the weight of the boat, causing significant damage or, worse, accidents.
* Regularly lubricate the roller with specific marine grease to ensure smooth and quiet operation, prolonging its lifespan and preventing corrosion.
* Periodically inspect the roller for any signs of wear, cuts, cracks, or other damage. Replace the roller immediately if necessary to ensure maximum safety during launching and retrieving operations.
* Consider using fenders in combination with the rollers to provide additional protection to the hull during launching and retrieving maneuvers, especially in the presence of irregular or abrasive surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which roller is best suited for my 3-meter RIB?

For a 3-meter RIB, a roller with a load capacity of at least 200 kg should be sufficient. Always check the actual weight of the RIB, including the engine and accessories, to choose the most suitable roller. Also check the diameter of the roller to make sure it is compatible with the width of your trolley or slipway.

How can I further protect the hull during retrieval?

In addition to the rollers, you can use side fenders to prevent the hull from rubbing against the trolley or slipway. Make sure the fenders are well inflated and positioned correctly to protect the most vulnerable areas of the hull.

Are PVC covered rollers more resistant than standard ones?

Yes, PVC covered rollers offer greater resistance to abrasion, UV rays, and weathering. They are particularly suitable for those who frequently use rollers in marine environments or on abrasive surfaces.

How do I choose the number of boat rollers needed?

The number of rollers needed depends on the length and weight of your boat. In general, it is advisable to use a sufficient number of rollers to distribute the weight evenly and prevent excessive pressure points. Consult the manufacturer's specifications of the trolley or slipway for more precise indications.

Can I use boat launching rollers on any type of surface?

Boat launching rollers are designed to be used on relatively smooth and even surfaces, such as concrete, asphalt, or compacted grass. Avoid using them on irregular, rocky, or sandy surfaces, which could damage the rollers or compromise the stability of the boat.

Is it necessary to use a particular type of grease to lubricate the rollers?

Yes, it is advisable to use a specific marine grease to lubricate the boat rollers. This type of grease is resistant to salt water and weathering, and offers effective protection against corrosion and wear.
