The award winning Thule 897XT Hullavator lift system has been enhanced and now offers greater boat capacity and protection with a more robust latch mechanism. The Thule 897XT Hullavator kayak rack makes the loading process a lot easier.

• Accommodates kayaks up to 36 inches wide with improved cradle design
• More robust, user-friendly latch mechanism ensures carrier stays down when loading/unloading, and securely on roof for transport
• Reduces lift height required to load and unload a kayak by 40 inches
• No need to reach top of vehicle to secure boat to carrier – boat strapping is easily done with carrier in down position
• Improved boat protection with oversized, integrated padded support
• Fits Thule square, xsporter, rapid aero, and professional series bars, and Yakima round bars
