Thule Hullavator Pro 898 Kayak Carrier - The Hullavator Pro by Thule Raises the bar (literally) for lift-assist carriers: reducing a kayaks weight and allowing side of vehicle loading. Gas-assist struts lift and lower 40 lbs of a kayaks weight at waist level: allowing only one person to load and unload the kayak at the side of your vehicle for greater convenience and safety. Double extending arms lower the kayak up to 40 inches for faster loading and unloading: while 8 touch points of padded support offer maximum protection: and it includes all straps to transport 1 kayak. The corrosion-resistant kayak cradles expand to fit wide kayaks: and aluminum: double coated steel construction delivers a longer product life. When no one else wants to join you on your next water adventure: no worries: you have your Thule Hullavator Pro.
