Installed it today on my Thule rack. Great product!
by: Steve M.10/27/2021
The problem: How to transport kayaks with smaller vehicle as weight of cross & kayak racks plus kayaks was above vehicle roof weight limits. So I shopped for a "kayak" trailer.
The people at etrailer made the ordering process easy and successful to complete this project.
Great trailer, impressed with the size & strength of frame, and assembly went together as instructed.
Installed bunk boards and mounted Thule DockGrip for Kayaks.
This for me is an easier and safer way to transport kayaks.
Thank you etrailer...

Purchase Experience: Excellent, Melissa gave me a few options and discussed differences between them. Was friendly, courteous and professional. Found my customer information based on just my email address and took my new order easily. Shipped out quickly and arrived in a few days.
Thule DockGrip carrier: Works fine with my Toyota 2016 RAV4 OEM crossbars. Did have to use the universal mount flipped with the arch UP to make it work. Included documentation was clear and easy to understand, came with mounts and straps to hold my kayak. I do need a front tow hook for my vehicle, didn't know this until after I got the mount, had to order that extra and wait a few more days to use it. Grip is adjustable for size and shape of kayak, which is nice. Mostly plastic construction, lightweight, hopefully durable. A little pricey for what you're getting, but hopefully the engineering is better than the cheaper alternatives.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase and continued experience with etrailer.com, I've recommended it to others who have asked and will continue to do so.

The Thule kayak rack was shipped quickly and arrived on schedule. The rack was as advertised and I'll continue to order from etrailer given the numerous positive interactions I've had with them.
by: Keith 07/30/2020
Bought them for my Thule rack, easy to install even with out directions (none were included) I liked that there is two options with these cradle style carrier.
by: Kevin K06/10/2017
Easy install for the dockgrip kayak. Definitely nice that they are plyable and will conform somewhat to kayak bottom. Customer service very helpful.

I am very happy with my Thule DockGrip kayak carrier. Since I can load the kayak by myself when loading from the back of my SUV. I just lift one end of the kayak up onto the back pads then go to the other end and push the kayak into place. This is very important since Im 72 yo and sometimes go kayaking alone while the old folks rest.
by: Carl09/19/2018
Easy order process online..Great communication and status of delivery..product was as described and worked perfect.

See what our Experts say about this Thule Watersport Carriers
- Comparing Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier to the Thule DockGrip Saddle Style Kayak and SUP CarrierFor your Thule truck rack aero bars, the Thule DockGlide # TH896 is better if you want to slide your kayak from the back and utilizes felt pads to protect your boat and ease loading. I've attached a video to assist. The contrast is the Thule DockGrip # TH895 which has rear feet that grip. This is helpful for Stand Up Paddleboard use as well. I've attached that video for you to see the contrast. I recommend the Thule DockGlide for Kayak applications as the preferred easier product.
view full answer... - Is Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Compatible with Blue Sky Angler 360 and Highway Speeds?The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer - 66" # Y08106 is compatible with any posted speed limit so you will be able to travel at 75 mph without issue. The Rack and Roll trailer is one of the best lightweight trailers I've seen. It has a quality craftsmanship and tracking that make it popular with customers. It is rated for up to 250 lbs, so you won't have any issue carrying your boat. I recommend also getting two sets of the Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs # TH895 to secure...
view full answer... - Will the DockGrip Kayak and Paddle Board Roof Rack Work w/ the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack?Thanks for the pictures! Yes, the Thule DockGrip Kayak and Paddle Board Roof Rack item # TH895 will fit the square bars of the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack item # SR1002. They have a maximum weight capacity of 89 lbs. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how the DockGrip attaches. I noticed you mentioned using foam blocks. If you need a new set of tie downs then I recommend the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops item # TH855XT. The SportRack...

- Can Thule 895 DockGrip Kayak Rack Fit BMW OEM Crossbar ChannelsYes the Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier part # TH895 that you referenced will fit into the top channels of the BMW OEM crossbars that your vehicle has. I can't attach the pictures you sent in as they look to be copyrighted but if what you have is the same as those pictures then this would work great.
view full answer... - What Shape of Crossbars Does the Thule DockGrip Kayak Carrier FitThe Thule DockGrip kayak carrier, part # TH895, fits on most factory crossbars as well as round, square, and aero bars. I've linked a demo video of the carrier on Thule AeroBlade bars for you. Let me know the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and what kind of crossbars you have, if any, and I'll confirm whether not the DockGrip will work for you.
view full answer... - Kayak Carrying Options for 2007 Dodge Ram Quad CabTo carry your Kayak on the roof of your 2007 Dodge Ram Quad Cab, we have a few options. If you will be carrying the kayak pretty frequently, I recommend an actual Thule Roof Rack system in conjunction with a Kayak carrier designed to work with the rack. A roof rack can be constructed by ordering the following parts: Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # TH711520 Rapid Traverse Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roof - Qty 4 # TH480R Fit Kit for Thule Traverse...
view full answer... - Can Thule Hullaport XT Fit to TracRac Ladder Rack Load BarsTo install the hullaport to the larger crossbars you can use Xadapter part # THXADAPT11 which was designed for this this situation and you'd be set!
view full answer... - Thule Kayak Carrier Recommendation Similar to Thule HydroGlide that Fits Aero BarsI wish there was an adapter that allowed a Hydroglide 884 kayak carrier to fit on aero shaped bars, but there's not so the best solution would be the Thule part # TH881 which does fit aero bars and would be a great option.
view full answer... - Roof Mount Kayak Carrier for a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with Factory Roof RackThere are several kayak carriers that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. One option is the Thule DockGrip, # TH895. This carrier holds the kayak by the hull using 4 saddles. For a similar carrier that loads from the rear you can use the SweetRoll, # Y04074. The rear saddles on this carrier have rollers to make loading the kayak easier. The weight capacity of this carrier is 80 pounds. I have included links to video reviews of both carriers for you.
view full answer... - How to Carry 55 lb 12 Foot Long Kayaks on Class C MotorhomeYour best bet for carrying two kayaks like what you describe would be to use a small trailer like # MPG460G. Due to the weight of your kayaks and the height of a Class C motorhome, carrying them on the roof wouldn't be feasible. If you don't already have a kayak carrier, I'd recommend using the Thule DockGrip, part # TH895. Each DockGrip kit can handle one kayak.
view full answer... - Locking Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier to Roof Rack CrossbarsThe Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier # TH895 won't work with the One-Key Lock Cylinders # TH450400 as there simply isn't a place for these to install. The cradles themselves aren't able to be locked to the crossbars unless you are mounting them to a T-track on the crossbars, in which case locking end caps on the crossbars would help protect them from theft. Another option would be to just use a cable lock like # e98891 to weave through the cradles and around the crossbars to secure...
view full answer... - Mazda CX-9 Crossbar Compatibility with Yakima Crossbar PadsThe Yakima Crossbar pads, part # Y07413 are not a confirmed fit for the 017 Mazda CX-9 factory crossbars. I instead recommend buying a full, traditional carrier for your crossbars, as you'll be happier with the long term usability and additional features you can get from a full carrier over crossbar pads. Additionally, the pads don't include any of the tie downs you'll need to safely transport the kayak. I recommend the Thule DockGrip carrier, part # TH895. Aside from including all...
view full answer... - Will the Thule DockGrip Fit the Channels of the Rhino-Rack Vortex System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600?Yes, the Thule DockGrip # TH895 will work with the channels of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbar System # RRVA180B-RRRLT600. If you need recommendations for a compatible Retrax XR tonneau cover that works with the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars, it depends on the bed length of your truck and if you have a RamBox on your 2021 RAM 1500. Retrax XR models are only available if your truck does not have the RamBox system. With that being said, I recommend the RetraxONE XR Tonneau Cover # RTT-60243...
view full answer... - Recommended Two Kayak System for 2017 Ford F450 with Sunroof Pulling 5th Wheel TrailerTo avoid your bed when towing a 5th wheel on your 2017 Ford F-450, the best way to carry your couple of kayaks is to use a roof rack and a front hitch receiver with a load extender. You may not be able to use your sunroof with the kayaks installed. My recommendation is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65076 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle along with the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Bar # TH997. Then I recommend the Thule roof rack...

- Will Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier Fit OEM Crossbars on 2008 Nissan XterraWe do have some kayak carriers that will fit the OEM roof rack on your 2008 Nissan Xterra but the clamp system on the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero # TH849000 won't be able to install on the larger crossbars. A similar system from Yakima is the JayLow # Y04073 and it has been confirmed to fit. I have attached a review video of this for you to check out. If you are brand loyal and want to stick with Thule then the following has been confirmed to fit your OEM roof rack: DockGrip - # TH895 DockGlide...
view full answer... - How to Carry a Kayak and Two Paddleboards on a Yakima Rack and Roll TrailerYour Native Ultimate 12 kayak would work great on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 that has 66 inch wide crossbars. The Thule DockGrip part # TH895 would work best on a kayak of your size and then for paddleboard carriers the # Y04075 which can carry up to 2 at a time would work great and would allow you to fit everything on the trailer.
view full answer... - Will the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs Fit Rounded Crossbars?The Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH895 does fit rounded crossbars. However, I cannot guarantee they will fit the bars listed from a third-party site. If you want a definite fit, I recommend the Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00408. In addition, you will need: 1. RidgeLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y00145 2. RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536 3. RidgeClip Fit Kit for Yakima RidgeLine...
view full answer... - Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2002 Class C Winnebago Spirit 24 RVRoof racks are not super popular for Class C motorhomes like your 2002 Winnebago Spirit 24 but I do have a great option that will work really well with the Rhino-Rack System with Aero Crossbars # Y02-490B. This rack will install by first having a track mount to the roof of the motorhome that will then allow you to install a set of sliding aero crossbars. Then for a kayak carrier you could use Thule DockGrip part # TH895 which will fit these bars well and easily give you a way to carry...
view full answer... - Will Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65415 Fit 2013 GMC Yukon w/ Factory BarsI spoke with my contact at Swagman and the Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System, # S65145, will fit on your 2013 GMC Yukon factory crossbars. The tie down buckles are metal and as for weight limit, you will be bound by the capacity of the vehicle's roof. The carrier will either meet or exceed this capacity. Now for the width. Since you mention that your kayak is 34 inches wide, this is quite wide so I recommend going with something that can adjust for wider kayaks, instead. For that,...
view full answer... - Will Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier Fit 2017 Honda Pilot Factory CrossbarsYes, the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier # TH895 will fit the factory crossbars of your 2017 Honda Pilot; I checked with Thule to confirm this. The DockGrip also has an 85 lb capacity which is enough to secure your 75 lb fishing kayak. The DockGrip comes with tie-downs as well, saving you from any extra expense. I have added a link to a video review of the DockGrip for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Mounting 2 Kayaks and a SUP to 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe With Factory Roof RackIt is possible you may be able to mount a pair of kayaks on their side and your SUP on the factory roof rack of your 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe, but you'll need to measure the width of your bars to ensure you can use both a SUP carrier and a carrier for two kayaks I recommend the Thule Stacker Kayak Carrier System # TH830 to mount two kayaks on the side and the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier # TH895 next to that if you have the room on your crossbars. The pair of kayaks will be mounted...
view full answer... - Recommended Crossbars and Kayak Carrier For 2017 Subaru CrosstrekFor your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, I recommend the Thule WingBar Load Bars - Aluminum - Black - 53" - Qty 2 # TH711420 along with the Thule Evo Roof Mounted Railing Foot Pack # TH710401. This will mount to raised factory side rails on your vehicle. I also recommend locks # TH450400 to secure your roof rack and deter theft. For your kayak carrier, I recommend the Thule DockGrip Kayak and SUP Carrier with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Rear Loading # TH895. These cradles will fit into the slots...

It features a built-in lift assist to help load and unload the kayak.

The kayak pads work very well on my 14Hobie. They follow the contour of the bottom of the kayak perfectly!
