Caliber Products Bunk Carpet & Slides
Caliber Products: Engineered Solutions for Effortless Boat Loading
When it comes to making boat trailer loading and unloading easier, Caliber Products has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of bunk carpet and slides designed to reduce friction and eliminate the strain at the launch ramp. Their product lineup addresses every boater's needs—from quick spray-on lubricants to permanent bunk surface replacements—with a focus on practical engineering and real-world performance.
Marine Slides: Customizable Friction Reduction
Caliber's Marine Slides install directly over existing bunk carpet, offering a cost-effective way to customize the friction reduction you want to achieve. The closer you space the slides together, the more reduction you'll experience; spacing them farther apart provides less reduction, giving you complete control over your launch experience. Available in three colors (White, Black, and Yellow) and two sizes (1.5" and 3"), these segmented slides come in 10-piece kits with stainless steel mounting hardware for strength and corrosion resistance. The unique profile provides extra cushioning between the boat and trailer bunks, while delivering a dependable surface that stays slick and tough through repeated use.
BunkWrap: The Premium Permanent Solution
For boaters who load and unload frequently or need to replace worn-out carpet, Caliber's BunkWrap is their premium option, providing a seamless, self-draining solution with a 3/4-surround and built-in lubricant for the highest reduction in force. This plastic wrap won't soak up water, trap dirt, or grow mildew like carpet can, making it a lower-maintenance alternative that's ideal for raw aluminum boats, pontoons, and personal watercraft. Available in bulk 250-foot rolls, BunkWrap allows for custom installations across multiple trailers or non-standard bunk lengths, perfect for marine dealerships and service centers.
Slydz-On: Spray-On Convenience
Caliber also offers a complementary product for boaters with newer bunks: Slydz-On spray-on bunk lubricant, a great option for those who don't regularly load and unload, penetrating and coating bunk carpet fibers to aid in loading for about 20 cycles before reapplication. This simple solution works across all watercraft types and is particularly suited for painted hulls, fiberglass, or gel-coat boats where you want to preserve the protective qualities of carpet while gaining easier launching.
Application-Specific Guidance
Caliber doesn't just manufacture products—they help customers choose the right solution. The age and condition of your bunks and your frequency of trailering influence which product is best: if you have new bunks and don't trailer often, Slydz-On may be ideal; if you have old bunks, torn carpet, and trailer often, BunkWrap may be the best option. Marine Slides fall perfectly in the middle, offering an upgrade path without the commitment of full bunk replacement. Whether you're outfitting a single personal watercraft trailer or managing a fleet at a marina, Caliber's bunk solutions deliver measurable reductions in loading effort while protecting your investment.
