Does Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunk for Boat Trailer Come in Stainless Steel?

Question:

Thank you for your quick response. I am planning on using this for stripping containers of lumber that are bundled together the max weight of each bundle is approx 4200#lbs.. What would the capacity of weight be on these units? Basically right now we are putting a 5 ft length of wood and allow for better bite on the bundle, but I am thinking if i can use your roller bunk as additional leverage for easier and smooth extraction of the bundles from the container... Your thoughts.

The Dutton-Lainson Boat Trailer Deluxe Roller Bunk - 5' Long Sections - 12 Sets of 3 Rollers # DL21741 does not come in stainless steel, but they are made of galvanized steel to resist rust and corrosion and stand up to both freshwater or saltwater use.

I recommend using the Roller Bunk Bracket # DL21742 with this roller bunk.

Each set of 2 roller bunks is rated for a 3,000 lb capacity. If you were to use 3 rollers wide, that would give you a 4,500 lb capacity or 4 would obviously give you 6,000 lbs. I suggest using 4 wide as the bundles could easily have the weight off-centered. If they are usually overly loaded on one side, I wouldn't recommend using this type of system as they are rated for fairly evenly distributed weight. I'm picturing a rolling conveyor belt type system like you see in warehouses as your solution to get the bundles to move easy.
