For the past three years, the Monowalker trailmate hiking trailer has been now the best "mate"
for hikers all around the world. Many expeditions and long distance hikes were done with the
Monowalker trailmate hiking trailer in the past three years. This trailer already crossed Patagonia,
Iceland, carried gear and food for weeks in the Scandinavian wilderness and was the best mate for many
pilgrims on their way to Santiago di Compestela.
Incorporating all of the experience and expertise that we have gained in the past years we have now
upgraded our original model. The result is in your hands: the
Monowalker fatmate
which is made for
thru-hikers, hunters, adventurers, preppers, but as well for families with a bunch of outdoor gear.
It´
s
especially made for those who love the great outdoors without paths.
The Monowalker fatmate is an all-
terrain marvel and follows you downhill and uphill on any trail and any terrain.
In remote areas, the
fatmate shows its strengths. With the fatmate, it doesn`t matter if there is a path, if you cross snowfields
or deep muddy ground.
If there is no trail, the 20x4” fat tire wheel will find its way. It runs great on sand,
muddy terrain or snow and rolls with ease over every obstacle. The tough design of the main frame with
crash protector underneath allows you to tow the trailer over rocks or fallen trees. It’s the downhill and
cross country machine for those who love nature and hiking trips, days away from civilisation. The
lightweight aluminum frame, made of 7005 aircraft aluminum allows you to carry your gear up to 110lbs.
What are the benefits of a hiking trailer? The
hiking trailer
will be towed with the help of the specially
designed Monowalker harness. The handles are connected by snaphooks with the hipbelt. But the
biggest advantage is the weight distribution on the trailer ……due to its smart geometry only half of your
equipment's weight is on your hips. With all the remaining weight (50-60%) being on the back wheel,
your hike becomes much more relaxing and enjoyable and you can carry extra supplies with comfort. By
adding the fattire rack, you may reduce the weight on your hipbelt down to 30%.
The special hipbelt carries your gear weight. Additionally, during uphill and downhill hiking, stress on
your knees is reduced because only half of the total weight is on your hips.
The
uniquely Z-shaped
configuration of the handlebar-main frame- swing arm configuration allows for a
very stable platform which won't lean or topple, even when your hands are off the handlebars. This
trailer can be towed across any terrain where you can still walk. It does not restrict your movement while
pulling because of the specialized
MONOWALKER
hip belt.
Downhill routes are easily traversed with help of the mechanical disc brake. Manipulated from the
handle bar, you can choose the level of brake resistance to help you travel downhill. The disc brake
allows you to easily take a break- take a deep breath or relax by leaning back, holding you and your
baggage in place.
