Heavy-Duty Kayak Lift Assist Roof Rack, 45 KG Capacity Kayak Canoe Rooftop Loader, Elevating Assist System for Easy Loading

Makes transporting our 2 seat sit on kyak alot easier. The kyak is very secure and easy to lift on to the roof after a long day paddling.

This has been a game changer. I've been approached by several paddlers all commenting on how good this unit seems to be. I'll tell others to try and lift the kayak with one hand and they are always surprised at how easy it makes the process. Especially useful at the end of a session when I'm a little tired. The only criticisms I have is that the two rubber strips have now come off and have disappeared onto a road somewhere. The double sided tape holding them on is not strong enough and I'm going to have to find a replacement solution for the strips now that they have been lost. The other thing is that I don't totally trust the locking mechanism. I think if I were to hit a pothole, I wonder if the unit would become unclipped and would slide open. To get around this I either lash the kayak strap around the main frame and the sliding frame or do the same thing with a bungie. Overall though, would definitely recommend.

It does work I have a 32kg sea fishing kayak which it lifts quite easily with a bit of arm power too. I had to take a loan out on this lift because at £400 it ain’t cheap. I take the top section off if I’m not using the kayak because 3 reasons 1) wind noise 2) security3) preservation. I’ve got some silicon spray to coat the moving parts. My roof rack cross bars said they would hold 100kg, this is the bit that holds lift frame but when I fitted everything with the kayak one of roof bars was bending. So spec from roof bar company wasn’t accurate so had to fit 1 metre x 30mm x10 mm Ali bar to roof bar. Using T bolts in roof bar slot. The frame assembly was relatively simple but if manufacturers could have done this for customer and put it into a larger box would’ve been helpful.

Very well packaged product with good instructions and easy assembly. Very well manufactured. Used twice now and what a different it has made to loading my heavy kayak. I’d tried various other methods and equipment but this is really very good. Yes you can only load one kayak but if I was going to load more I would have purchased two of these or a trailer. In all very good price for a quality product.

Great aid to continuing kayaking into my dotage. I have it on a Peugeot Partner Tepee and still a little lifting required, so think it would be fabulous on an estate car.

Good sturdy product at a reasonable price. Easily fitted to my T Slot roof bars. Makes lifting the heavy Canadian Conor onto the roof of my Forester a lot easier. I can do it by myself now too 👍

Superb. If you are looking for a cost effective kayak assisted loading device you can’t really go wrong with this. Forget the notion that Chinese products are inferior! This flat pack was very well packed in good strong cardboard and the assembly instructions were clear and detailed. Operation is simple and it can lift my 21kg sea kayak without assistance from me! It is fairly straightforward to release and remove the moving part but I don’t bother!

Eccezionale come qualità dei materiali. Ho eliminato la necessità di avere un gancio di traino. Mancano solo i binari per due biciclette, ma, una volta montati, oltre alle due biciclette, possono essere caricati con le cinghie sup e surf o sci ed altro. Sarebbe solo opportuno avere nel kit dei bulloni e dei dadi quadrati di fissaggio dei binari delle bici, perché il binario è quadrato.

Alors là c’est un vrai bonheur à utiliser faire . Je mets cinq étoiles quand même, malgré certaines choses qui me semble un peu légère, comme les protections je trouve ça un peu léger, choses bizarres, et vous le verrez sur la vidéo les crochets pour désactiver le blocage dans toutes les vidéos que j’ai pu voir ils sont à l’extérieur alors que sur le miens ils sont à l’intérieur. J’espère que dans le temps cela ne posera pas de problème et je ne les ai pas monté à l’envers étant donné que ils sont sertie au niveau de la barre d’action. Le système de réglage pour la taille de Kayak est super bien fait car personnellement je l’utilise pour Kayak de Rivière mais aussi de mer donc les largeurs ne sont pas les mêmes certes un peu cher, mais tellement efficace je ne regrette pas.

Top Qualität bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt. Zusammen bau sehr einfach Beschreibung könnte bloß auf Deutsch sein.

It helped me to load the Kayak on top of my tall Land Cruiser, but I hoped it was much lighter, It’s not as easy as advertised, it’s heavy and not easy to remove from rack !!! Also the locking mechanism is not very easy to use ! It helps but not very easy to use !

The side kayak lift is the best purchase I have ever made. Easy to use to be able to load boat by myself. Took a few hours to initially install and needed help to assemble but once installed it has been great. Highly recommend to anyone who needs help to get boats on vehicle by themselves. I am 60 yrs old, not tall and full of arthritis but I still want to be able to paddle and be independent. This lift allows me to do just that. Thanks, Kathryn
