How Much Does the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 Weigh

Question:

Thank for your initial response to my question. I’d like to know the total weight of the Thule Hullavator setup I have minus the kayaks. I am using the Thule on. 2017 Subaru Forester and have the 60” square bars and required foot assemblies. I have two sets of Hullavators on each bar. When putting it together each piece did not seem to weigh too much but when my wife and I we’re both 68 y/o took it off before winter it seemed quite heavy. Now we’re putting it back on the car and would like to know how much weight we’re dealing with. Thanks.

That all depends on what roof rack you have or that you are looking at. The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 itself weighs in at 39.7 lbs but that is not including any roof rack parts.

If you could verify which roof rack you have I can let you know the total weight if we carry it. If you don't already have a roof rack just let me know the year/make/model of your vehicle and if you would prefer traditional bars, like square or round, or if you would rather have aero bars and I can make a recommendation for you and add all of the weight up as well.

We have 2 roof racks near 60" long which fit your 2017 Subaru Forester. These are both from Malone and we have the 58" # MPG202 which weighs in at 10.7 lbs and the 65" # MPG203 which weighs 15 lbs. If we round the Hullavator up to 40 lbs that means you are looking at about 55 - 60 lbs per bar or 110 - 120 lb for the whole roof rack and 2 Hullavators. If you have a different system that uses square bars then unfortunately we don't carry them and you would need to either weigh them on a scale or contact the manufacturer.
