The Thule Hullavator Pro takes the hassle out of loading and unloading heavy kayaks by using gas-assist struts that support up to 40 lbs of the kayak’s weight—making solo loading easier than ever. Its double-extending arms lower the kayak up to 3 feet alongside your vehicle, allowing you to load, unload, and secure your kayak comfortably at waist height. With 8 padded touch points for added protection, corrosion-resistant cradles that adjust to fit wider kayaks, and durable aluminum and double-coated steel construction, the Hullavator Pro is built for long-lasting performance in harsh conditions. It also includes Thule QuickDraw bow and stern tie-downs for safe transport of one kayak.
