Thule Hullavator Pro Lift-Assist Kayak Carrier – Gas-Strut Side-Loading Roof Rack

Effortless Solo Loading with Gas-Assist Technology

The Thule Hullavator Pro (Model 898) is the ultimate solution for paddlers who want to load and unload their kayak without the heavy lifting. Featuring premium gas-assist struts, this rack handles up to 40 lbs of the kayak’s weight, allowing you to manage the process entirely on your own. By lowering the kayak by up to 3 feet to the side of the vehicle, it enables waist-level strapping and loading, saving your back and your vehicle’s finish.

Built with corrosion-resistant aluminum and double-coated steel, the Hullavator Pro is designed for long-term durability in marine environments. The newly updated Pro model features wider cradles that accommodate hulls up to 36 inches wide, secured by 8 padded touchpoints for maximum protection during transit.
