Thule Hullavator Pro, the next generation lift assist carriers for kayaks

New for 2015 is the Thule Hullavator Pro that help kayakers load and unload their boats easier than ever. The new kayak carrier is built around two gas assisted arms that reduces up to 18kg of the kayak´s weight allowing the paddler to load or unload at waist height, all by themselves. 

“Kayaks have evolved in recent years and are now coming with a much wider profile than previous years. The new Thule Hullavator Pro address these kayak evolutions and also makes it easier than ever for the kayaker to load and unload the boat themselves. With the gas assisted extending arms you load and unload the kayak at waist height and get help to move on to the roof of the car” said Eric Norling, International Product Manager at Thule.
