Why this product
Why the INNO INA453 Kayak Lifter?
The INA453 uses gas struts to assist with loading — similar concept to the Thule Hullavator but at a lower price point. Aluminum construction, saddle-style cradle, 12 lbs. Details on max boat weight and padding vary, so confirm specs before buying. If you want lift-assist loading without the Thule premium, this is the main alternative worth investigating.
