The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898 will not be directly compatible with your 2013 Chevy Equinox factory crossbars. The crossbars simply do not extend the needed distance beyond the side rails for compatibility but I do have a solution for you.

To get compatibility, since you obviously have the raised side rails, I recommend using the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Raised Side Rails # INFR and then the Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 # INB137 to get the length needed to add the Hullavator system.
