Preston Innovations Absolute 5G Shuttle Adaptor

Preston Innovations Absolute 5G Shuttle Adaptor | Universal Box Transport Solution

The Preston Innovations Absolute 5G Shuttle Adaptor is a precision-engineered accessory designed to integrate the latest generation of seatboxes with the legendary Preston Shuttle barrow system. As seatbox designs evolve with different leg widths and frame configurations, this adaptor ensures that your Absolute 5G, Absolute Station, or Inception box remains rock-solid and perfectly balanced during transit. It eliminates the wobble often associated with older barrow attachments, protecting your expensive station from tipping on uneven bankside terrain.

At Gerrys Fishing, we consider this an essential upgrade for any match angler. Moving a fully loaded Absolute 5G can be a chore; this adaptor transforms your Shuttle into a custom-fitted transport rig, making the walk to a distant peg effortless.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal Seatbox Compatibility: The hallmark of the 5G Adaptor is its versatility. By simply removing the bolts and relocating the arms into the pre-drilled positions, you can customize the width and depth of the support. This makes it a future-proof investment that works across the entire current Preston seatbox range.

• Enhanced Load Stability: Once adjusted to your specific box, the arms cradle the frame. This prevents the box from shifting forward or sideways when traversing steep slopes or muddy tracks, ensuring the weight remains centered over the Shuttle wheels.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the weight of a fully loaded Station filled with rigs and feeders. The robust steel construction and durable coating ensure it resists rust and wear, even after seasons of heavy use in damp conditions.

• Easy Adjustment: The bolt-system is designed for simplicity. You dont need complex tools to change the configuration; once set for your specific box, it remains fixed, allowing for a drop-and-go loading process every time you arrive at the fishery.

• Low-Profile Design: When fitted to your Shuttle, the adaptor adds minimal weight and bulk, ensuring the barrow remains easy to fold down for storage in your car or van.

How to Configure for Your Box

1. Identify your Box: Determine if you are fitting an Inception (narrower) or an Absolute/5G (wider) frame.

2. Reposition the Arms: Unscrew the securing bolts on the adaptor.

3. Select the Slot: Align the arms with the corresponding holes that match your seatbox frame width.

4. Secure: Re-tighten the bolts firmly. Your box should now drop into the adaptor with a snug, secure fit that prevents movement in all directions.

The Gerrys Fishing Verdict

The Absolute 5G Shuttle Adaptor is the missing link for owners of modern Preston seatboxes. Its a small component that makes a massive difference to your pre-match preparation. If youve ever had your box slip off a barrow halfway to your peg, youll know exactly why this tailored adaptor is worth every penny. It brings the security and stability of the Absolute 5G system to the transport phase of your day.

Gerrys Pro Tip: When loading your Shuttle, always place your heaviest items (like your bait bag or accessory bag) at the bottom, directly over the axle, and let the 5G Adaptor hold your seatbox securely on top. This creates the best center of gravity and makes the barrow feel much lighter to push, even over long distances
