Waarom dit product
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 — this is a dedicated kayak tool.

Wat de experts zeggen
Bill Nikolaou· Water Sports Editor
In de praktijk getestThe Hullavator Pro transforms the kayak loading experience. Gas-assist struts lower the cradles to waist height, removing the struggle of lifting a 60+ pound kayak overhead. For solo paddlers, especially those with back issues or shorter stature, this is genuinely life-changing equipment.
Solo paddlers who load heavy kayaks without help, older paddlers, anyone with back concerns
Budget paddlers or those who always have a loading partner
At $900, the Hullavator is expensive. But if it means you keep paddling instead of quitting because loading is too hard, it pays for itself in joy.
Tested on: 2023 Subaru Outback, 2024 Honda CR-V · 12 months
