Side loading lift assist helps you load a kayak onto your roof rack carrier from waist level. Detachable arms clip into compatible carriers in seconds. Ratcheting cradles keep boat from sliding down as you raise it vertically along tracks.Needed something that would help me load our kayaks on top of my pickup. After much research went with the Telox XL coupled with the Malone Sea Wings. This combo is great. A lot less effort then lifting and sliding the yaks from the tailgate. Good investment.
This is an ingenious system for loading a kayak on top of a tall car such as our minivan. We were able to use it the first time out without difficulty. A nice alternative to the much more expensive Thule Hullivator. The required kayak carriers can be folded so we can still put the car in the garage, which would not have been possible with the Hullivator. . In addition, we were able to use it with our current roof rack. No need to buy a new one. The verdict is out on how durable it will be over time but we are pleased with the initial use of it.
I got this to help load my kayaks. As of now me and wife were able to load with some difficulty, but we know we're getting older and help would be nice.
This is just that, a great help! It's well built and etrailer has the best price, and delivery was fast with no damage!
Little bit of a learning curve to figure out the best way to use the load assist.
I think the Telos XL Load Assist works fine but the Kayak I purchased was 74 lbs and 34 inches wide so it just did not fit the Malone J-Style Kayak Carriers. I never used this product but it seems to be of very good quality.
The quality is good, will have more to say when I use it. The service from etrailer is the best. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.
Ordered it on a Wednesday, was on my doorstep the next day.
Telos XL loader came today, even tho my projected reception was in september. It makes it a lot easier to get my kayak on the roof of my Yukon, which probably will translate to more kayaking. Thanks for prompt service and good products!
Easy to use
Won't use until spring.
Really well made - a bit heavy but confidence building for hoisting a 67 kayak.
