Kayak Load Assist Options to Work with Thule J-Style Cradles
Question:
Ive seen something on Pinterest that was a kayak load assist with a winch. It says it can work with any roof rack and carrier mine are Thule J style. Can you send me a link? I cant find it on your website. Thanks.

Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out!
We have a great selection of kayak load assists, but the only thing remotely close to a winch that I can think of is the Malone Kayak Hoist # MPG346, which is for kayak storage.
Since you're already using Thule J-Style cradles I recommend checking out the Rhino-Rack # RR-RUSL or Inno # INA453 which are both universal-style load assist that mount directly to your crossbars.
If you need more help than that, we have the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 which makes loading and lifting a breeze, or the Malone DownLoader and Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL to give you a little more help in loading a kayak on their J-Style cradles.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm familiar with the Malone and other devices. This was unique. I can't find it anywhere and the poster did give further details other than the impression it came from you. Thanks again.
