Saddle Style Kayak Carrier that Can be Used on Load Bars of Truxedo Elevate Ladder Rack
Updated 01/19/2026 | Published 08/06/2024
Question:
Will the clamp on the Yakima sweet roll expand enough to fit on the bar of the “elevate” truck rack?

Hey Lisa, we have a solution but the load bars of the Elevate ladder racks are too large for any of the clamp on style kayak carriers to fit on them. Instead you would need a carrier setup that was designed to fit the top channels on loadbars like the Rhino Rack Nautic 581 part # RR581. This comes with hardware that attaches the rack to the top channels of the bars you have so it will fit and work great.
