The Cray Pot Hauler Heavy Duty is the stress-free solution for lifting craypots, crab pots, and longlines with minimal effort. Built around a robust 1400W, 12V motor and a marine-grade stainless steel frame, this device is engineered to handle up to 100 kg, making even the heaviest pots feel almost effortless.

Designed for real-world work on the water, the collapsible frame folds down in seconds for compact storage on busy boats. A capstan head on the spinner enables slower, more controlled lifts when hauling heavier loads, while the rope sits securely in the spinner so the pot hauler only engages when a load is applied. For safe baiting and emptying, lift the pot to the side of the boat and lock the line in the rope cleat—keeping your deck tidy and your lines secure.

With one-person operation in mind, the Cray Pot Hauler Heavy Duty is easy to install, transport, and store. It rotates in eight different positions, making it ideal for traveling between pots or boats. All you need to supply is power from your boat’s battery—plug in and you’re ready to lift at up to 30 metres per minute.
