Rollers to Carry Raft on Modified Trailer
Question:
Ladder Roller for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars - 59 Long Item # RR1500 I trying to modify my trailer to carry my raft. I was wondering if these brackets could be upright so that the raft rests on the roller. I will probably have a bar across so could easily invert the brackets to raise the bar. Or do you make a roller strictly for rafts?

Expert Reply:
The way the Ladder Roller for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars # RR1500 works is that the top bracket mounts into the t-tracks of your bars and roller is on the side. That means they can't be flipped upwards since there are no t-tracks on the side of the bar that they can clamp onto if the bar was mounted traditionally like it would be on a roof rack.
If you're modifying a boat trailer though, you might be interested in Boat Trailer Standard Roller Bunks # DL21755. These can attach to mounting brackets, bunk brackets # DL21742 or 2 x 4 bunk boards # CE27845. I attached some videos below if you want to see what it looks like.
