Do I need a boat roller?

A boat roller is very practical if you often paddle alone and want to load the kayak onto your car easily, avoiding heavy and awkward lifts. You also avoid the risk of the kayak bumping into and damaging the car. When unloading the kayak, you also reduce the risk of damaging both the kayak and the car. If you often transport your kayak on the car roof, this is a worthwhile investment.

How do I mount it on the car?
The boat roller is easily mounted on the car with its sturdy suction cup. Wipe clean the surface where the suction cup will be attached, then press the boat roller into place and tighten it with the handle on the suction cup. It can be attached to both the rear window and the car's bodywork, and it can be adjusted to different heights to suit the car.

Once the boat roller is attached to the car, place the kayak against the foam-covered supports and push it up onto the roof. For safe transport, we recommend using our foam transport cradles to minimise the load on the kayak while it is on the roof rack.

The boat roller is easily removed from the car by releasing the suction cup with the handle before you set off.

When unloading the kayak, attach the boat roller to the car and carefully pull the kayak back down onto the supports.

The boat roller is suitable for loading all types of kayaks and takes up little space in the car when not in use. The supports are covered in foam to minimise the risk of damaging the kayak when loading and unloading.

If you would like a larger kayak loader, we can recommend our kayak loaders with a rotating roller. Read more here
