I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier

Description

The Thule 898000 Hullavator Pro Kayak/Canoe Carrier is a next-generation lift assist carrier designed for kayaks. It features gas-assist struts that can reduce up to 18kg of the kayak's weight, allowing for easy loading and unloading by a single person.

Key features of the Thule Hullavator Pro include:

  • Gas-assist struts that lift and lower 18 kg of the kayak's weight, enabling one-person operation
  • Double extending arms that lower the kayak up to 1 meter, making it easier to load and unload at waist level

  • In regards to some frequently asked questions:

  • Can you go through the car wash with this on your car? No
  • Will it mount on the factory installed rack on an Equinox? I don't know. I'm using a Toyota Tacoma with utility racks with crossbars mounted to those.
  • Does this come as a set as shown in the image? You will receive a set of two. The first set that I received came assembled. The second set that I ordered came disassembled.
  • Will this fit on a square tube rack, and will it fit the Hobie outback fish kayak? It will fit the square tube rack if you are sent the universal mounting kit. If not, contact support to send you the needed parts.
