  • Patent number: 11535144
    Abstract: A transporting device for launching and hauling boats is provided. The device includes a frame arranged to support a boat hull and is provided with at least two pairs of wheels. Each pair of wheels is formed by two wheels aligned with each other on opposite sides of the frame, and the frame is further provided with one or more tracks. The device is capable of easily and effectively moving both on roads and other hard terrains, and on soft terrains, such as for instance sandy or muddy terrains. According to an embodiment, the wheels and the tracks are mounted on the frame so as to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame itself so that they can be selectively brought into contact with the underlying ground or moved away from ground depending on the kind of terrain on which the device is moving.
