Amphibious freedom for any boat

The latest innovation from Tectrax is a game-changer: an autonomous, amphibious trailer system.

The Tectrax Boat Launcher revolutionises boat launching by offering an autonomous, remote-controlled amphibious trailer that can be operated from onboard the boat, eliminating the need for wading into water or dealing with traditional trailer challenges. This technology provides the benefits of amphibious boats without requiring vessel modifications, allowing owners to choose any hull design while enjoying easy beach launching and independent mobility.

The Boat Launcher is a self-driving trailer system controlled remotely from the boat helm, enabling smooth launching and retrieval without wet feet or stuck vehicles. It supports any boat, providing freedom from ramps and marinas.

Powered by Tectrax’s Gen 2 system, each wheel has an electric motor with high-torque gearing, eliminating hydraulic components for faster deployment, tighter turns, and reduced maintenance.
