I would be happy to compare the Dutton-Lainson Roller Bunks item # DL21741 and CE Smith Roller Bunks item # CE27710 but there's not that much of a difference. Both are 5 foot long and have 6 rollers per section. Each section is rated for 1500 pounds. Both are made with galvanized steel and heavy duty black rubber rollers. The main difference besides price is the shape of the rollers is not exactly the same. The CE Smith rollers are more round where the Dutton-Lainson are boxy and almost square.

Either set can be mounted on a bunk or independently. To mount independently you would need the brackets. For the Dutton-Lainson set you would use item # DL21742 and for the CE Smith set you would use item # CE10003G-4.
