Question:
I have purchased the RU-15-DB-00205914 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Euro Square Crossbars - 49inch long, and DK195 Clamps and Pads for Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack System from you for my 2013 Toyota Prius V naked roof. Realizing how heavy the NuCanoe Frontier 10 that Ill be transporting is 67 pounds with my physical limitations, Im looking for some way to held get the boat onto the rack I have ordered from you. What do you recommend? I have some concern that there be some support from the ground and not just from the rack itself because of the weight that is being lifted. Thanks for any held you can provide.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the Rhino-Rack Universal Side Loader # RR-RUSL that you referenced for loading your 10 foot NuCanoe on the Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RREB126B on your 2013 Toyota Prius. The Side Loader is designed to work with loads of up to 132 pounds, with the telescoping pole being required to assist loads greater than 44 pounds. The load assist with the arm support will maintain stability while you load your kayak. The 67 pound weight of your watercraft is well within the capacity of this load assist system.
I have attached a review video of this side loader for you.
If you need tie-down straps, Rhino-Rack offers straps # RRRTD35P rated at 165 pounds that are 11-1/2 feet long. You may also need bow and stern tie-downs, like the # Y04031 with ratcheting pulleys.
