The ultimate launch and retrieve experience
Enjoy boating again – from start to finish No winching, no slipping on the boat ramp, no stress! The Balex® Automatic Boat Loader automates the launch and retrieval of your trailer boat. You don’t even have to get your feet wet! No more clambering down the slippery boat ramp to attach the winch. No more cranking on the manual winch or slow unreliable electric winching. Transform your new or existing wobble-roller boat trailer into an Automatic Boat Loader for controlled, hassle-free launch and retrieval of your boat.
Safety First
Go Solo
Wireless remote control eliminates the need to clamber down slippery boat ramps to hook or unhook your boat, improving safety – and enjoyment!
Go boating alone with effortless launch and retrieval.
Stress Free
Designed and manufactured to high quality standards, using marine grade materials and components from world leading suppliers, the Automatic Boat Loader provides reliable performance over time.
You don’t need strength to operate the Automatic Boat Loader and it’s simple and intuitive to use. Speed up the launch and retrieval process and reduce your stress levels with controlled movement.
Touch Control Launch and retrieve your boat at the touch of a button, without the need to power load. Automatic, powered alignment and control means the boat won’t get away on you, even in difficult cross-winds and currents.
Launch & Retrieve Anywhere Don’t rely on gravity to launch your boat into the water. The controlled launch capability lets you tackle any ramp at any angle – steep, shallow, even the beach!
Goes the Distance
Reduce Your Maintenance Reduce the wear and tear on your boating equipment. The mechanisms and rollers are designed to gently power your boat on and off the trailer. Strong pulling power means your trailer spends less time in the water.
No Power Loading Using the boat’s engine to load your boat onto the trailer can erode and damage ramps and is increasingly being outlawed by regional authorities. Don’t damage the ramp or risk a fine – launch and retrieve your boat with the Balex® Automatic Boat Loader.
Uni-Roller
Dual-Roller
The Automatic Boat Loader The patented technology uses hydraulic rollers to guide and power your boat quickly and safely on and off the trailer in a controlled manner. With enough torque to pull up to 5,000kg (11,000lbs) of boat, the system operates quickly and smoothly in all weather conditions. No pushing, shoving, ropes, hooks, or winches required.
