Why this product

Why the Thule Hullavator Pro?

The Hullavator Pro is the go-to if you paddle solo and cannot safely lift 50-plus pounds over your head. Gas-spring assist handles about 40 lbs of the load, lowering the kayak to waist height for loading. At 39.7 lbs and a premium price, you are paying for your back and shoulders. One boat only, no SUP compatibility โ€” this is a dedicated kayak tool.
