Description

The Thule Hullavator Pro is a top-of-the-line kayak rack that is designed to make loading and unloading kayaks easier and more efficient. It uses a gas strut to lift 40 lbs of the kayak's weight and reduces the loading height, making it ideal for kayakers of all physical abilities, especially those with shoulder or back problems who find the process of getting the boats up onto the roof of the vehicle difficult.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.

Is there any maintenance required for the Hullavator?
Thule does not specify that any maintenance need be done on the strut specifically. Some practices that would help extend the life of the Hullavator would be to rinse it off after using it to transport boats from salt water. It also would be beneficial to grease the pivoting points on the rack on occasion to keep everything operating smoothly.
Can you put two Hullavators on a vehicle?
It is certainly possible to outfit a vehicle with two Hullavators, however it isn't just as simple as just mounting two of them up there and calling it good. Factors such as the weight rating of the vehicle's roof, crossbar width/overhang, and the weigh of the kayaks being transported all factor into the equation. To confirm if you would be able to mount two Hullavators on your vehicle we would recommend reaching out to our customer service team! Please reach out to us at (800) 272 - 5362.
