“These racks are absolutely amazing. My wife and I are in our 60’s and these racks have made lifting and removing our kayaks on our Jeep simple and effortless. So effortless that my wife loads her kayak by herself. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to save their backs. Sorry that I don’t have any pictures of the racks in the down position.”

“For large and tall SUV's with high roof racks, the Hullvator is the way to go. Reduces loading time to a couple of minutes, elimi ates the need to climb up on the vehicle, and enables single person loading. Prior to getting the Hullivator, my Toyota FJ suffered numerous dents while loading and unloading the kayaks. The Hulavator is a must for Kayak transportation.”

“We have used our Thule Hullavator for two seasons now and I don't know what we'd do without it! It makes transporting our tandem kayak easy and convenient, and the Thule security features mean we never worry about thieves. Highly recommended!”

“The Hullavator has given me the freedom to go kayaking on my own. It's so easy to get the kayak into the arms because I don't have to lift it above waist height. Then the Hullavator does all the lifting. Love it!”

“This rack makes kayaking a continuing reality for me and my wife as we age. I am no longer able to use rollers to push the kayaks up onto the roof of my Toyota Highlander. This product makes the task very easy, especially when my wife is with me. However, I can still put my own boat up and down by myself when I go solo. It's a bit of a heavy product to put on and take off the car but I only need to do that a few times a year. The weight makes it strong and this product would not be possible in a "lightweight" configuration without it's being too fragile for practical use.”

“This rack allows me to go kayaking by myself. I have a 16 foot kayak which is only fifty pounds but is too awkward to load without this device. Easy to take on and off. Takes ten minutes from starting to load including putting the hullavator on the car to driving off.”

“The Hullavator makes loading my kayak on my car so easy. It will be something I use for many years. Even in very windy and rainy weather my 2012 Toyota Yaris was only effected a tiny bit with the Hullavator and kayak on top. I have been recommending it to everyone that is interested.”

“We are very pleased with this rack. It makes loading a single kayak a one person task. We would have two but that would exceed the capacity of our roof rack.”
