Roof Rack Load Assist Devices for Kayaks & Canoes

Ways to make lifting a kayak or canoe onto roof bars easier

Loading a heavy kayak or canoe onto roof bars is a universal problem most paddlers have to deal with. You can make life easier by using a device to help you load your craft onto your roof rack. We sell load assisting bars that attach to your existing roof rack and allow you to prop one end of the kayak or canoe against the bar whilst the other end is still on the ground. You then lift the other end up onto the roof rack, alleviating the need to lift the full weight of the craft in one go. We also sell lift-assisting kayak carriers with gas-struts that takes some of the weight of the kayak as you lift this onto the roof rack.
