Question:

Will the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier fit on the Truxedo Elevate racks?

asked by: Mike D

Expert Reply:

The TruXedo Elevate ladder racks like the # TX46NV use crossbars that are larger than standard Aero bars, so you won't be able to use the Yakima HandRoll # Y04082.

Instead I recommend the Rhino-Rack # RR581 instead as they'll install into the tracks on the top so you'll be able to install this with no issue.

I included a video of the # RR581 for you to check out.

We’re looking for roller racks as we over 65 years of age and looking for an easier way to get the kayaks up on the elevate rack with e-bikes in the bed of our truck.

@Biestiemom All of the options we have that make loading easier mount to the crossbar, mount to the crossbar with clamps. The Elevate rails are bigger than normal so none of them are going to work. You're going to need to DIY something to make it work.
