Roodberg has introduced a new generation of modular self-propelled trailers for this purpose. Unlike traditional towing solutions, the trailers focus on lifting and transporting vessels to provide better hull support, improved load distribution, increased transport safety, and reduced risk of damage. A modular design allows operators to configure the system to accommodate different vessel types, handling needs and yard requirements. Configurations can include self-propelled capabilities, rear wheel drive, and electric or diesel power systems. Designed with the focus on vessels from 20 to 60 tonnes, with larger capacity solutions available, modular trailers provide manoeuvrability, operational efficiency, and increased safety for marinas and boatyards.
