The perfect solution for lifting heavy gear onto your roof

Let's face it, we're not all 6'5" and able to easily lift 50 pounds or more up over our head. We know the struggle is real, so we recommend the MOS Uplift kayak lift assist for your roof rack. This innovative gadget lets you load your boat without having to climb onto your running board or use a step stool - simply pull a handle to lower the arms to a much more manageable height. You'll still have to do a little lifting, but since it's just over shoulder level it'll be much easier on your back. All you have to do is apply a little pressure and the gas struts will gently lift your boat onto your roof.

And what's really cool about the UpLift is that, unlike most lift assists, it isn't limited to just carrying a kayak. You can also use it with cargo boxes, bike racks, or ski racks, making it a practical solution you can use all year round.

All the straps and tie downs you need to secure your kayak

We've included everything you need to secure your kayak to the carrier and your vehicle. The padded cam buckle straps secure your boat to the carrier, and the bow/stern straps secure it to your vehicle. The bow/stern straps also come with hood and trunk anchor points so you won't have to worry about how or where to connect them, or about the straps or metal hooks scratching your vehicle.
