Product Information

Full details

The Preston Space Station Shuttle (SPST/09-PN) is an essential transport solution for dedicated anglers who need to move heavy seatboxes and large amounts of fishing tackle from their vehicle to the water's edge. By centering the wheels directly under the heaviest load, it significantly reduces the physical strain typically associated with transporting bulky gear; however, users should note that while it is designed for convenient storage, it requires full disassembly after each trip to fit in smaller vehicle spaces.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this shuttle fit other brands of seatboxes?

While optimized for Preston Space Station and XBox models, the versatile design often accommodates other boxes, though you may need to adjust your setup to ensure it remains stable.

Is the utility bag waterproof?

The utility bag is made from durable materials that protect gear from splashes, but it is not intended to be fully submerged.

Does the shuttle come with spare parts?

The kit includes the primary shuttle frame, wheels, and the converter bar; spare parts are generally available through authorized Preston dealers.

Can I leave the shuttle assembled in the car?

It is recommended to dismantle the shuttle for storage to ensure it is protected and fits safely within your vehicle's cargo area.

How do I maintain the wheels?

Keep the axle clean of mud and grit, and ensure the tyre pressure is maintained so the shuttle rolls easily over bankside paths.

Troubleshooting

The shuttle feels unstable or wobbly while loaded.

Check that the load is balanced directly over the wheel axle and verify that all frame connections are tightened securely.

Difficulty attaching the converter bar.

Ensure your seatbox legs or frame are set to the correct width to align with the converter bar mounting points.

The shuttle is difficult to steer on soft ground.

Ensure tyre pressure is adequate and try to distribute the load slightly further forward to reduce wheel sinkage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly reduces manual strain through optimized weight distribution
Dedicated support for large seatboxes like the Space Station and XBox
Convenient extra storage via the included removable utility bag
Rod holdall support integrated directly into the handle structure
Compact breakdown for easier transportation

Cons

Requires manual disassembly for storage rather than folding
May be cumbersome for anglers with very limited car boot space
Best suited for firm, even paths rather than extremely uneven terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the shuttle, ensure all frame locks are fully engaged before loading your seatbox. Use the provided converter bar to bridge the gap between the shuttle frame and the seatbox footprint for maximum stability.

Regarding care, always wipe down the frame after use, especially if used in muddy or saltwater environments, to prevent corrosion of the joints. Periodically check that the wheel axles are free of grit or debris to ensure smooth rolling. When storing, ensure the unit is dry to avoid fabric rot in the utility bag or rusting on the metallic components.
