Ironwood Pacific Bunk Carpet & Slides
Ironwood Pacific E-Z Slide Trailer Solutions
When it comes to making boat trailer launches smoother and protecting your investment, Ironwood Pacific has earned a reputation for practical, Oregon-made innovation in the bunk carpet and slides category. Their flagship E-Z Slide system addresses one of the most common frustrations boaters face: excessive friction between hull and bunks that forces you to submerge your trailer deeper than necessary, exposing lights and components to corrosive water.
Ironwood Pacific's E-Z Slide pads are molded from a slippery, PTFE-infused composite to reduce friction as the boat slides on and off the trailer. This specialized material minimizes resistance during both launching and recovery, allowing boats to glide smoothly even on shallow ramps where traditional carpeted bunks would grip and hold. The Oregon-based company designs products for boaters and anglers, with E-Z Slides and BunkEnders manufactured in the United States with top marine-grade materials.
Patented BunkEnder Protection Technology
What sets Ironwood Pacific apart in the trailer slide category is their patented BunkEnders that wrap over the end of the bunk to prevent carpet wear. This is the critical high-contact zone where your boat first makes contact during loading, and where traditional carpet fails fastest. The BunkEnders integrate seamlessly with the E-Z Slide pads, creating a complete friction-reduction system that extends the life of your trailer bunks while making solo launching and recovery significantly easier.
Application-Specific Engineering
Ironwood Pacific doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach to their bunk slides. E-Z Slides are suitable for welded metal boats weighing up to 4,000 pounds, and fiberglass boats weighing up to 1,500 pounds, with the company providing clear usage guidelines to prevent hull damage. The system is available in multiple widths to accommodate narrow, standard, and wide bunk configurations, and each kit includes stainless steel mounting hardware designed to recess flush when installed.
The slides mount directly to trailer bunks with included stainless steel screws and come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. For boaters dealing with shallow launch ramps, deteriorating carpet, or the physical strain of winching boats onto high-friction bunks, Ironwood Pacific's E-Z Slide system offers an American-made solution backed by real-world testing from the Pacific Northwest boating community.
