Thule Hullavator Pro: Easy-Load Roof Rack Kayak Carrier System

The Thule Pro Kayak Lift-Assist Rack redefines convenience for outdoor enthusiasts seeking effortless kayak transport. Designed to simplify loading and unloading, this rack’s gas-powered struts effortlessly lift 40 pounds of your kayak’s weight, enabling solo operation without strain. Its innovative double-extendable arms lower the kayak up to 3 feet to waist height, eliminating back strain while securing your vessel with ease. With an expanded capacity for kayaks up to 36 inches wide and eight padded touchpoints, it safeguards your investment against scratches while maintaining stability during transit.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum and steel, this rack withstands harsh weather and saltwater exposure for long-term durability. Included Thule QuickDraw tie-downs and center straps with car-protective bumpers ensure secure attachment, while compatibility with Thule SquareBar, AeroBlade, ProBar, and Xsporter Pro roof systems (excluding AeroBlade Edge) offers flexibility for most vehicles. A lockable design integrates with Thule’s One-Key system (sold separately) for added peace of mind.

Perfect for adventurers in continental U.S., this rack handles loads up to 75 pounds but cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands—shipping costs will display at checkout. Additional fees may apply for oversized orders; you’ll receive prior approval before processing.

Whether tackling rugged trails or coastal waters, this rack combines strength and user-friendly engineering to make every outing smoother—without compromising on safety or style.
