Homemade Kayak Elevator Trailer: A Viewer's DIY Build
I'm sharing a creative homemade kayak elevator trailer built and filmed by Roger Coker, a member of our KayakDIY Facebook group.
What’s in this video
This build isn’t mine. Roger Coker, a fellow member of the KayakDIY Facebook group, posted his homemade elevator trailer and I loved the creativity. He agreed to let me share it, and he filmed and explained the whole project on his phone. I think he did an awesome job.
The video goes from an overview of the trailer to a demonstration of how it works, then into the assembly so you can see how it all comes together. If you like it, give it a thumbs up for Roger, not us. As always, DIY at your own risk.
Key moments
Quick takeaways
- Watch the demonstration first, then the assembly section, to see how the elevator part of the trailer works before you plan your own.
- DIY at your own risk: neither KayakDIY nor Roger is liable for injuries or damage from copying this project.
