Hi all

Is any one using the assistance of a Thule yak loader 'Hullavator' to easily load/unload them onto the roof racks?

After some adjustments, Thule & I have just racked one set up on my 4WD and it's now only a one person show to load and unload an Outfitter with ease. Depending on the roof rack height, you only need to lift the yak to about waist height. :D

Am now fine tuning support locations to suit the outfitter. So if there's any input out there I'll be happy to read it.

Regards
Arthur

have any pics? I am using a Thule x-sporter with a couple of hullaports on my truck. Have to lift my Adventure over my head to get it up there. A bit clumsy given the length. I dont think I have seen the hullavator.

Just thought you might like to know about the following. Maybe it's available in the USA (somewhere?)

Damn! $489! Think I will stay with the hullaports for a while since I can still lift that Adventure over my head. I would like to put some of that toward a Hobie Livewell but I am not sure I can hold out and wait for them since spring is here. May have to go "old school" with a cooler type livewell. Will be speaking with the local Hobie dealer on Sunday about that livewell.
