Recommended Load assist for Thule J Bar Kayak Racks

Question:

I have two Thule Hull a port pro vertical kayak carriers on top of my Honda CR-V. I need something so that I can load a kayak up onto the carrier by myself. What load assist would work? They are wide ocean kayaks so they need to load vertically

When it comes to adding a load assist to make it easier on loading up your kayaks The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers - Side Loading # MPG351XL will work for you.

The side loading lift assist helps you load a kayak onto your roof rack carrier from waist level. It has detachable arms that clip into compatible carriers in seconds. The Load Assist weighs 19 pounds. It has foam padding on the cradles that protect your hull from scratches and abrasions.

It has a compact design that allows for convenient storage in the trunk or cargo area. It has a load capacity of 75 pounds.
