I give the Hullavator Lift a 5
star hands down with me
having a 53 pound kayak. The
lift makes it almost too easy to
lift the kayak on the top of my
yukon. It will pay for itself
time and time again. I wish I
found it years ago.
P.S. the shipping was
extremely fast as I got it in
only 4 days

Works great and makes loading
and tie downs soooo much
easier and fast. I bought the
Telos first and used it twice
and it did not work to well
for me and my set up, took
more time, and was not to
safe. Save yourself and get
the hullavator.

I was hesitant to spend $500
on a kayak carrier, but after
putting it on my fj cruiser
and using it I would have paid
more for it. Makes it very
easy to load my 12 foot
fishing yak on my lifted suv.
I leave the crossbars on all
the time and put the
hullavator on just when i need
it. Takes about 2 min to put
on or take off. Anybody that
struggles to get their kayak
on a suv would get good use
out of this.

They are a substantial help to
loading and unloading two
kayaks. When loading make
sure the chrome installation
pins are rotated down. They
want to flip up and push out a
bit keeping you from rotating
the kayaks onto the roof. I
wish the pins were easier to
take out and install making it
easier to take the Hullivators
off when not in use and
putting them back on.

Awesome !!! I sold my truck
and had to use my Honda
Element for yak transport. I
go by myself a lot and there
was no way for me to lift my
ride 135 on to the roof. It
was just to high and the ride
is around 70lbs. This made it
easy. I only have to lift the
yak just above my waist and
the just use the hullivator to
ease it on to the roff. Did I
say , AWESOME !!!! It was
also easy to install.

It looks like it costs a lot. I could have saved money just by getting it first. Don't settle, you only have one back.

From a small white water kayak to a large tandem kayak, the Hullavator can handle it. We purchased the Hullavator for one of our smaller shuttle vehicles. We have already loaded and unloaded in just a short time many different models of kayaks with the Hullavator. It is a huge time saver and we Highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Best accessory I have ever bought for my Kayak. It makes loading and unloading the Kayak from the top of my truck a breeze. Especially when I'm tired from a long days paddling and fishing.
