I received the rollers and locks yesterday, mounted today and loaded my kayak. All-in-all, the rollers work pretty well but but I do think that the rollers are over-priced for what you get. So, I knocked off a star.1459145

The Yakima roller make it easier to load and secure a kayak to the roof of a 4Runner. The fit is secure enough that I don't need to use bow & stern straps for shorter trips.1030637

These rollers are great to help load heavy fishing kayaks. There isn't anything else on the market that makes loading and unloading so easy.1092182

Review from a similar HandRoll in Watersport Carriers
I put the rollers on a strong arm loader it
Works great, the loader fits a 2in receiver it pulls backwards at a 45 degree angle and it is springs loaded you put the kayak onto it then go to the back of the kayak push forward and the kayak is at a 45 degree angle in the air then you push it's on the rollers and stop when you get where you want it let it down gently a d that's it ,take it off in reverse thanks to the wheels it makes it very easy 682377
It has been working out just fine,I also use it for my float tube.

You need a smooth hull otherwise any tracking grooved hulls will swallow the wheel and render it useless1301356

You mentioned that any grooves on the hull will swallow the wheel and I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you mean.

The “grooves” are really tracking channels. The give Nucanoe kayaks handling, but they will eat the rollers.

I appreciate the additional information. I recommend the BigCatch system from Yakima, part # Y04091 Yakima BigCatch Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Clamp On $258.95, which is a 4-saddle based system verses a roller. If your roof rack has top channels you can use adapter kit part # Y04092 Smart-Slot Crossbar Adapter Kit for Yakima BigCatch Saddles $38.95 for a cleaner install and if you have round bars you would need part # Y04093 RoundBar Adapter Kit for Yakima BigCatch Saddles - Qty 4 $21.44.

Recently upgraded to a larger Kayak and found that the Yakima Sweet Roll I was using had too much resistance making it difficult to load. The Handroll definitely makes it easier.1329444

Review from a similar HandRoll in Watersport Carriers
Had same setup on old suv which was sold with rack. So I ordered same for new Honda Pilot. This Rack is especially useful to safely load and unload heavier kayaks ( like Hobie) even by ladies and smaller people like teenagers.1235253

Review from a similar HandRoll in Watersport Carriers
I have two vintage 1980s 17 ft. ocean kayaks that I transport on a GMC Yukon. Yakima DeckHands mounted on my vehicle forward roof rack and because of the length of my kayaks Yakima HandRollers mounted to a Yakima LongArm and LongArm extension fitted to my vehicle trailer hitch receiver. These are excellent products that allow me to safely transport both boats side by side. The HandRollers allow me to single handed load and unload. Front of the boats on the HandRollers attached to the LongArm, push from the stern of the kayak and they are easily in place on the top of my Yukon ( a pretty tall SUV). I do recommend these products. They work very well. Much easier than hefting a nearly 60 lb kayak on top to a tall vehicle by hand.707718

I’ve always had great service with etrailer. I opted for 3 day shipping this time and it showed up in 2 days. The Yakima rollers are the perfect addition to my m416 trailer for loading and hauling my kayak.802511

For a similar Yakima kayak carrier that will fit your Thule Aero bars you would want the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier part # Y04082 or # Y04082-2. The Mako setup you referenced would not fit the Aero bars so I would not recommend them for you.
I attached a review video for the HandRoll for you to check out as well. view full answer...
Customer Brad is using kayak rollers on his Thule Goalpost TH997. There are several options for these. You can get a set of 4 from Yakima using # Y04082-2 or a pair using # Y04082. I have linked a video of these rollers for you. view full answer...
From what I could find it looks like your MotorFansClub Roof Rack Rail Cross Bars are a pretty standard size so the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082 should fit just fine. These were designed about the Yakima JetStream crossbars which measure 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall so if your crossbars are similar then you should be fine. If not, just let me know what they measure and I can do some digging to see if they will fit.
Please be mindful that the kit you referenced is only... view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, but there is not a Mighty Mount adapter like the # Y03539 that will work on the Yakima Overhaul HD bars, so you wouldn't be able to use an older Hully Roller system. However, the newer Yakima roller systems like the Hand Roll # Y04082 (1 set of rollers) or # Y04082-2 (2 sets of rollers) are compatible with the Yakima HD bars with their existing mounting clamps. This would be the only option available for this setup, but any Yakima kayak carrier sold after... view full answer...
You can use the Yakima HullyRollers # Y04082-2 on a 2014 Subaru Outback with factory roof rack and crossbars. I have included a link to a video review of the HandRoll for you. view full answer...
Yes, the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier # Y04082, which is the 1/2 system, or # Y04082-2, which is the full system with 4 rollers, will fit aero bars from Thule, such as the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420.
These kayak carriers come with tie-downs and I highly recommend using the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07202 to secure the rollers to your crossbars and help protect your investment.
The Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier # Y04082-2 has an 80 lb weight capacity and will... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but the Yakima ShowDown Kayak Lift, part # Y04081, is only compatible with roof racks that extend at least 3.5 inches past the tower. The factory roof rack for the 2007 Nissan Xterra is not a compatible fit.
If you're looking for load-assist, the next best fit for your goals is to use a roller-style mount, like the Yakima HandRoll, part # Y04082-2.
This rack will help you load by providing a set of rollers on the rear of the vehicle to help guide and support... view full answer...
I love the Yakima Rack and Roll, part # Y08107, but the trailer isn't designed for in-water use, as none of the electrical components are waterproof or water resistant. I do, however, have an alternate solution.
The Rack and Roll is aluminum alloy, and you can get the rear part of the rack in as long as the lights on the rear of the trailer are not submerged. A good rule is to keep the water off of the actual wheels, and you should keep enough clearance to keep them out.
Since the Rack... view full answer...
Yes, you will be able to use a complete set of Yakima HandRolls on your 2013 Audi Q5's 3-inch wide factory crossbars. We do sell the complete system that comes with 4 HandRolls. For that system, you need the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Roller Style # Y04082-2. The padded, pivoting cradles conform to the shape of your hull so you do not have to worry about any scratching or damage to the kayak. If you want extra security, I recommend the Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07202. view full answer...
The Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082-2 are designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. Due to this, you will have absolutely no issue getting these nice and secure on your Rhino Rack crossbars.
Now if you really want to secure these to your crossbars, you will want to add the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204. This includes 4 lock cores for each of the rollers and includes two keys. view full answer...
I may have an option for you, however the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898 that you referenced will not work with the factory crossbars on your 2018 Chevy Equinox. The system does need to utilize the channels on an aero-style crossbar for proper installation so it won't be able to fit your factory bars that don't feature a top track. Also, based on my research it doesn't look like the factory bars on your Equinox extend out past the roof sides enough for the Hullavator to be compatible.

Yes, you can definitely use the Rola Rail Extreme DFE Series Roof Rack R5015 and etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 on your 2017 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan being flat towed behind your motorhome. This is a great way to get your kayak to your destination without trying to find a way to hoist it up on the roof of your motorhome.

There are several roof kayak carriers that will fit your 2013 Nissan Xterra with the factory roof rack. Here is a list of what will fit:
JayLow # Y04073
SweetRoll # Y04074
HandRoll # Y04082-2
DeckHand # Y04083-2
I have linked several videos for you. If you are carrying more than one kayak the JayLow is your best option and the kayaks will take up the least amount of space on the roof rack. view full answer...
The biggest concern with using both a paddleboard carrier and a kayak carrier on the roof of your 2010 Escape is the crossbar room that is required for the carriers.
The SUPDawg Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier, part # Y04075, measures 40-1/8 inches wide. Depending on the kayak, you may have a tough time trying to fit both on the crossbars.
A carrier like the Yakima HandRoll, part # Y04082-2 has rollers that are placed on the rear crossbar and allow you to load your kayak by placing it... view full answer...
Kayak carriers come in many varieties and some do indeed require a roof rack be present on the car. But there is also a lightweight and cost-effective type called a foam block kayak carrier that can be used on a vehicle with a bare roof, such as your Toyota Camry.
Apart from being less costly and lighter than other types, these foam block kayak carriers allow your car to retain its normal appearance when you're not hauling your kayaks. They are also really easy to store inside the trunk... view full answer...
We can help you with a method to easily transport your 10-foot 55-lb kayak on your roof of your 2008 Saturn Vue.
If you want the best 1-person loading option then I suggest the Curt Roof Rack # C18118 and the roller-assisted Yakima HandRoll # Y04082-2. Tie-down straps are included. view full answer...
We have roof racks confirmed to fit both the 2015 Ford Edge with a bare roof and also the version like yours that has the glass roof with flush-mount rails that run front-to-back.
The Rhino-Rack setup I suggest is their Vortex Aero rack made of parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX024. The Vortex rack will typically be quieter than the square bar rack.
We have many kayak carriers that fit both types of roof rack bars and all of them are shown on the linked page.
Great carrier options for either... view full answer...
If you need to transport only one single kayak of no more than 75-lbs total weight then perhaps the easiest option in a rear-loading carrier is the Yakima HandRoll # Y04082-2 along with SKS lock core kit # Y07202.
In a compatible roof rack you have many options, shown on the linked page, but for both weight capacity and value I suggest the Rhino-Rack Vortex rack that features quiet aerodynamic bars. This rack has 49-inch load bars and a 175-lb weight rating. Order parts # RRVA126B-2 and... view full answer...
I'm glad to hear you had a good owner experience with your last Yakima roof rack and I am happy to help you with a new one for your 2019 Outback Wagon non-Touring edition.
My favorite Yakima roof rack is their black Jetstream aero-style bar roof rack. This system consists of parts # Y00425, # Y53TR and # Y00241. The black crossbars lend a clean OEM-like appearance and they will be much quieter than basic round Yakima bars (or any other bar shape for that matter) since their design allows... view full answer...
In order to install the Yakima HullyRoller Roof Rack Kayak Carrier part Y04035 on the roof of your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee using the the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7602B-TH7602B, you will need to use the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories part # Y03590. The MightyMounts are designed to allow for the use of aero crossbars while using the HullyRoller. In order to lock the HullyRoller to your crossbars, you will need both the Yakima Accessory Lock Housing... view full answer...
For your 2017 Ford F-450 Jason recommended the Thule roof rack that consists of the Thule Wingbar Evo # TH711520, the Foot Pack # TH710501, Fit Kit # TH145177, and locks # TH450400. I attached an install video of this rack on a very similar Ford truck as yours that will show you how it all goes together. That will be the easiest way to visualize everything.
I also attached a review video for the Yakima HandRoll part # Y04082-2. view full answer...
We have a number of load-assisted kayak carriers, some side-loading such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 and others rear-loading. For use on the factory crossbars of your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend a rear-loading carrier. For what its worth, I am a kayaker and I find a rear-loader easier.
I think the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082-2 offers an excellent combination of convenience and value for your dollar in a rear-loading roller-style carrier. This system... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but there are not any ladder or overland racks that are going to allow the full functioning of your BAKFlip MX4 folding tonneau cover; because most ladder/overland racks have an inward tilt, it's normally recommended that you use a rollup tonneau cover like the BAK Revolver X2 # BAK39329.
The Putco Venture Tec is a great solution and is designed to fit on the 2019 Ford F-150 and you can mount this to your truck with the BAKFlip MX4 Folding Tonneau for a 5-1/2... view full answer...
