RUK Sports Canoe / Kayak Roof Rack Load Assist

Brilliant, I’m very pleased as it takes the heavy lifting of getting the kayak on, and off the roof. Recommended. Took a bit of time to fit as I have “J-Bars” on the roof bars, but works well.

wish I was taller, this does work but I still struggle. Worth putting both windows down on the same side as your lifting as it can get a bit of a wriggle on and I have nearly done the windows twice. it is the only product that I have found to help with loading a kayak on your own and I am a woman of 5,2 and using a regular family car. Easy to fit and stows away within itself.

I have used this over the last couple of weeks, great bit of kit. Fitted to my Transporter, makes getting to kayak on the roof so easy.

Excellent solution to enable one person loading of kayaks onto our VW. Easy to fit, simple to use and very robust. Only criticism... would have like on option to mount it beside the existing roof bar rather than on top. Just an additional hole drilled on the side would facilitate this. I'll maybe try to do it in winter. The problem now is that it sits on top of the roof bar, so for two kayaks, I have slightly varying support heights, involving a fair bit of padding. Minor problem though, and overall a very clever solution.

Strong enough and fairly easy to mount but a few sharp edges , watch your boat and your fingers , and you’ll will need a screwdriver or similar to push the sliding arm retainer button catches in as they are stiff and difficult to access . 7 out of 10 .

Looks ok haven't used it yet buts on my car Could do with a hole drilled through so you can add a padlock as it's only vote the spring pins to hold it in place so anyone could walk of with the pull out bar But other than this it's a good product

Fantastic bit of kit, simple to fit and incredibly effective for loading the SUP and Kayak to the roof of my car (higher than average). No more manual handling issues, or damage to my car!!
