Tired of struggling by yourself to get your kayak onto the roof of the car?
It really doesn't get any better than the Hullavator Pro when it comes to kayak carriers, it's the best available in terms of design, features and quality.
The Hullavator takes the hard work out of getting your Kayak onto the roof and getting it back down again, as the name suggests it's like an elevator for your watercraft. It has clever gas assist struts which take up to 18kg of the kayak's weight, allowing you to easily load/unload your kayak no matter how physically strong you are. The double extending arms lower down 100cm from your roof rack height, so you can load/unload and strap your kayak at waist height. The package also includes a set of bow/stern QuickDraw tie downs for one kayak.
Maximum protection for your hull's finish is provided with 8 padded protection points, and lateral adjustment is available to fit various hull shapes and widths. The maximum weight capacity is 35kg with a maximum hull width limit of 86cm. The corrosion resistant cradles are also adjustable to fit both wide and narrow kayaks.
The Hullavator is not only feature packed but also built tough, with double coated steel and aluminium construction for maximum corrosion resistance and a long product life.
Each hullavator carries one kayak, if you would like to mount two hullavators then please bear in mind that your cross bars will need to be at least 135cm long.
Bear in mind the Hullavator can only be fitted to roof rack crossbars which have an overhang and t-slot, for example Thule's Wingbar Evo would be fine but their Wingbar Edge crossbars are unsuitable.
You can key alike all your Thule products by purchasing lock cores separately. If you have any further questions about key matching please contact us for more information.
