Vanclaes Gladius Stainless Steel Standard Boat Trailer Braked

The Gladius is suitable for Sailing boats with retractable keel. The wiring is concealed within the chassis and can be connected to your car’s outlet with a 13-pin (Jaeger) plug connector.

The robust chassis of this boat trailer, as well as the steel parts of the Gyro- Rollersystem and the winch post are made entirely out of stainless steel. As well for all the fasteners and fittings to adjust the height of the rollers. The extensive use of stainless steel is what makes this boat trailer so unique.

This boat trailer features two light bars with 100% waterproof LED lights that can be extended over a length of one meter. Lighting does not need to be removed, while launching the boat.

The thermally galvanized axle line is manufactured by the high-quality German brand WAP and features waterproof stainless steel compact bearings. Optional we can supply you with disc brakes which are equipped with 100% waterproof oil-filled wheel bearings. The Vanclaes scuff & scratch proof hull rollers are completely made out of foam and cannot leak. The keel rollers are also made from a scuff & scratch proof material.

The winch post with adjustable bow support can easily be adjusted vertically and lengthwise. The keel rollers are adjustable in height and the hull rollers can be freely moved in height and lengthwise. The orange self-braking winch is equipped with a orange Vanclaes winch strap.

A centering set of rollers which facilitates moving the boats bow into the center of the keel rollers is already included in the product design and price.
