About every trailer I have is done this way.

my trailer is set up like this one and yes we do have big tides some of the ramps are still ok on low tide but others are not i really need to rethink this as my other boat was a 16ft and didnt matter and was full roller omg more thinking

Mine looks like Tsubaki's, with an AL I-beam frame. My opinion (retired Park Ranger) is that rollers are an uneeded expense, I drive on & slip off bunks all the time & they are cheap easy & durable as long as they are set up right.

My bunks settle under two chines so the boat wants to sit square.

I've rebuilt the rolling gear on my trailer twice in the ten years I've had the boat, bunkers are the ones it came with.

Looked again & stubaki's has those side brackets. I don't have anything like that. One pipe on one side so I can get my bearings. Can't tell you how long it's been since it didn't go right up on the first try.
