The Thule Hullavator Pro is the answer for those who dread having to lift a heavy kayak on top of a vehicle by themselves. This premium lift-assist carrier has gas-assist struts that absorb the weight of the kayak for up to 40 lbs, thereby allowing for an easy slide loading and unloading of the water vessel to and from a car's roof rack. The carrier is made out of corrosion-resistant material so, despite continuous usage, it remains durable enough to be used for many future outdoor adventures. The Thule Hullavator Pro also has wide cradles to accommodate up to 36-inches wide kayaks. It has padded supports added to it to ensure maximum protection for the expensive water vessels. Of course, security is always a priority with Thule so they made sure that this hardware includes two center straps and QuickDraw bow and tie-downs to safely secure the kayaks. The straps have protective buckle bumpers to avoid unnecessary and costly damages to the vessels. Lastly, the Hullavator Pro is made to fit all Thule rack systems and round bars.
