C.E. Smith Roller Bunk Mounting Bracket - 11"

The C.E. Smith Roller Bunk Mounting Bracket – 11" is a purpose-built support component designed to elevate roller bunks above the frame structure on boat trailers and specialized recovery platforms. This 11-gauge swivel bracket accommodates bunks that require flexible positioning to conform to hull shapes and varying load profiles, making it essential hardware for marine trailer setups and heavy-equipment platforms where adaptive support geometry is critical.

The bracket features a 1/2" swivel bolt (included) that permits lateral tilt adjustment, allowing the bunk to articulate and match irregular surface contours without binding or load concentration. The 7/16" mounting hole accommodates standard bunk fastener systems, while the 11" height specification provides the vertical clearance needed to clear frame rails and distribute load energy over a wider footprint. At 1.5 lbs and measuring 3 x 3 x 10 inches, the bracket's compact profile minimizes structural intrusion while maintaining rigid load transfer through the swivel joint. The 11-gauge construction delivers the strength-to-weight ratio required for repetitive loading cycles inherent to trailer service.

This mounting bracket is specified for marine trailer operators, off-road recovery specialists, and equipment transport professionals who demand precise load distribution and articulating support. It suits applications where bunks must maintain contact with variable geometry—such as fiberglass and aluminum boat hulls with deadrise, or irregular cargo surfaces. The swivel design reduces concentrated wear points and extends bunk service life by preventing lateral binding that occurs when fixed supports encounter asymmetrical loading.

C.E. Smith is recognized in the marine trailer hardware segment for engineering components that prioritize load stability and ease of adjustment. Roller bunk mounting brackets are foundational to proper trailer setup, and this 11" model is sized for mid-range bunks where standard 8" brackets do not provide adequate clearance. Compatibility verification with your existing bunk assembly and frame design is recommended before ordering.
