Trailers & Trolleys: Move Your Engines with Ease and Confidence

Trailers & Trolleys at Meridian Outboard Motors: Move Your Engines with Ease and Confidence

When launching, maintaining, or transporting an outboard motor, the right trailer or trolley makes all the difference. At Meridian Outboard Motors, we understand the challenges boat‑owners face: heavy lifting, awkward handling, storage concerns, and portability. That’s why our range of trailers & trolleys combines durability, ergonomics, and practical design — helping you secure, move, and store your outboard motor with minimal effort.

What to Look for in a Good Outboard Motor Trailer or Trolley

Here are the key features to consider when choosing:

• Weight capacity: Ensure the trolley or trailer can handle the kilogram load of your outboard motor — including engine, fuel, and any accessories.

• Material and finish: Galvanised steel, aluminium, or stainless steel resist corrosion (especially in saltwater). Look for powder‑coated frames or marine‑grade metals.

• Wheels & tyres: Pneumatic tyres absorb bumps and make moving over sand, rock, or uneven surfaces easier. Solid wheels are low‑maintenance but less forgiving.

• Adjustability & size: Short shaft vs long shaft motors, shaft length, skeg protection, mounting brackets — all need to match your motor’s dimensions.

• Portability & storage: Foldability or collapsibility, ability to disassemble, compact footprint are huge advantages, especially for small boats or limited garage space.

Geo‐Targeted Tip: Getting the Right Fit in Your Region

Depending on where you are, certain specifications may be more important. For example:

• Coastal regions (UK, Wales, Scotland, Ireland): salt air demands stronger rust protection

• Estuary / tidal zones: mud, sand, water contact means prefer higher clearance and wide tyres

• Inland / freshwater: less corrosion risk, might prioritise lighter trailers or trolleys for ease of handling

Meridian can customise or recommend models depending on your precise location. Tell us where you operate — we’ll guide you to the best match.

Why Invest in the Right Trailer or Trolley?

Choosing a well‑built trailer/trolley is more than convenience: it’s about safety, longevity, and preserving value of your outboard motor. Avoiding drops, corrosion, or damage to the skeg or lower unit protects your investment. Better equipment also reduces the strain on you and your team.
