Crank Triple Tube Center Lift Pontoon Boat Trailers

Lo Loader^® Center Lift Pontoon Trailers by Hoosier

It’s not too early to start thinking about winter storage when it comes to these trailer models. Year after year we are in a sold out situation by mid October. The factory just can’t build enough.

Both the Hydraulic and Hand Crank models are practically made by hand. The complex design does not lend itself to mass production, there are over a hundred welds on each trailer. That’s why competition hasn’t copied them, there difficult to manufacture.

If you’re thinking about one for fall, it’s smart to get your order placed as soon as possible. We don’t require a deposit because if you cancel, we’ll have others waiting. But if you want to pull your boat mid to late September, you should get your order in as soon as possible.

We’re careful when selling a center-lift pontoon trailer to stress that this type of trailer can be “tippy”. If you clip a curb with some brands you will likely tip the boat. But center-lift trailers are good for launching in shallow water or storing a boat in a building with a low overhead door. People often go together to buy a community trailer to handle multiple boats and that’s another reason to buy a center-lift trailer.

Specifications

Trailers are 44” wide. Fits modern 8’6” wide two tube boats with larger tubes. Will accommodate most 8’ (96”) wide pontoons with large tubes. Lifts 40” off the ground (clearance for the largest tubes). Lowers to 23” (sits most pontoons down on the ground without blocking). 4000 lb. carrying capacity. Tandem axle with sure lube hubs (grease zerks beneath the rubber cap on the hub). 12” radial tires on galvanized rims (ST-145R12E Range). The trailer raises and lowers through a 7 pulley lifting system with a 1500 lb. winch. The lifting system is in the stern because that’s where the weight is on modern pontoons. The lifting arms are 2” x 2”, 12 gauge steel. A dual wheel tongue jack is standard. DOT approved LED tail lights in protective cages to prevent damage. Modern Powder-Cote finish keeps your trailer looking new for years. The trailer takes a 2” ball with the standard trailer flat 4 plug wiring.

Center-Lift Trailers Are Not Available With Brakes. (there is not roon for brakes.)

The Most Stable Center Lift Trailer Available

Our low-slung suspension allows wheels to walk over pot holes. If you hit a curb, because of our low center of gravity, the frame is less susceptible to tipping. Our axles are only 6” off the ground. Our 20’ trailer weighs 825 lb. The 24’ trailer weighs 900 lb. Some trailers weigh as little as 500 lb. When a boat is riding on a narrow wheel base frame, the heavier the trailer, the better it will track and handle.

Here's How It Works

Turn the winch and cables move through the pulley system raising or lowering the frame. The 1500 lb. winch working through 7 pulleys yield a terrific mechanical advantage. The frame pivots on 2”-12 gauge steel arms, the strongest available. The weight is carried by these arms. In the up position the weight is transferred to the bottom frame. Our arms are straight up and down when fully raised.

Lifting in the stern is a great advantage. Modern boats have all the weight in the back. Our two stage pulley lifting system is the strongest available. Lifts the heaviest boats with ease.

Standard Features for a Lifetime of Trouble Free Service

Lifting arms are 2” square 1/8” (12 gauge) thick steel

Our Lo-Loader trailer has been in production for twenty years. The bolts in the pivot arms run through a bushing, not just through a hole that will widen out. Stress points are reinforced with welded gussets.

Your boat never rides on cables.
The frame is locked to the stand.

Dual wheel tongue jack is standard.

Modern LED lights are
in protective cages.

Side guards keep the
pontoon on straight.

Wanna Save a Couple Hundred Dollars on a Center-Lift Trailer?

We can’t help you. We won’t sell a single axle center-lift trailer. We won’t sell a trailer with a weak lifting system. We’ve sold single axle trailers in the past but customers tipped their boats we decided it wasn’t worth it. People usually never consider that their boat is often underinsured. Many have a $500 deductible. Worse yet, your beautifully restored 15+ year old pontoon if damaged is not insured for what you’ve got in it. Insurance generally only covers the depreciated value, often only a couple thousand dollars. Tip it over and you’ll regret the couple hundred dollars you saved on a trailer.


Stress points are reinforced. Our trailers are built by the oldest pontoon trailer manufacturers. They know about stress points.	These trailers have front lifting systems. The weight of the boat has bent the frame on the trailer to the left. The trailer to the right has a stronger (multi pulley system) but the stress has actually torn the steel.

Here’s how one company handles different length of boats. They have a bottom frame that’s one length and they add length to the top frame. When the customer put his 26’ boat with a 150 HP engine on this trailer it wouldn’t crank up. This is an attractive trailer but you don’t need to be an engineer to know that weight overhanging a pivot point on a cantilever system is multiplied by two.
