Product Description
Single-person roof rack loading made simple Ever have trouble lifting your kayak on to your roof rack? You're not alone - most kayaks take two people to lift up without scratching or banging into your car. Fortunately, this Kayak Roof Roller provides a neat solution to this issue. The Kayak Roof Roller is a kayak lift assist that allows you to slide your kayak into place. This eliminates the need to awkwardly lift your kayak overhead. Instead, you can align it with your roof rack and just push it into place!
How does it work? The Kayak Roof Roller has a durable frame and two heavy-duty lever-controlled suction cups that allow you to securely fasten it to a window, hatchback, or trunk. Its closed-cell foam padding gentle cradles your boat during loading. The load assist can be adjusted to one of 2 mounting angles to make loading easier depending on your vehicle. The entire Kayak Roof Roller (one frame and two suction cups) is small enough to keep stored in a trunk or rear compartment when not in use!
Will it work on my vehicle? Because the Kayak Roof Assist can be set at one of 2 mounting angles it's compatible with almost any vehicle! For cars, hatchbacks, SUVs, and vans; one Kayak Roof Roller load assist frame should work just fine for loading your kayak. For hatchbacks and SUVs with large rear window spoilers, be sure to measure in advance to ensure the 6.5" height will provide enough of an angle to clear the spoiler.
Will it work loading J-Style kayak cradles? Yes, the Kayak Lift Assist will work with popular kayak roof rack cradles with a J-shaped design. The rollers will allow you to push the kayak up onto your car in a flat position, then you will need to adjust the kayak onto it's side in order to properly fit down into your J-style roof racks.
- 2.75" tall when set to 90°
- 6.5" tall when upright
- 27" wide with 9" roller area
- 4.62" roller diameter
- (1) Sherpak boat roller frame
- (2) Suction cup assemblies
- Assembly hardware
- Assembly and installation instructions
Q:
Will this work on a ford f-150?
A:
Do you have a covered/capped bed on your Ford F-150? Or would you be in the bed loading the kayak up onto to the roof? The kayak lift assists work to help elevate the kayak - they aren't roof racks, so you would need to have some roof rack system to secure your kayak to your truck once loaded. To work on the truck, if you don't have a capped bed, you could possibly use one of the assists on the back of the cab and maybe the 2nd one top of the truck, to help lift the kayak up; it probably wouldn't work to load from the tailgate to the roof though. If you do have a covered bed, you probably could use one or two of the assists to load it up the back of the cab onto the rooftop. Since its a mostly universal system there isn't an exact fit guide to guarantee it will work, but I hope that gives you an idea on whether it might.
Q:
We have two folding kayak roof cradles. When we load our 11ft ocean kayaks, we turn kayaks sideways and put up in cradles! Do this for both on our SUV! Would this work for our roof cradles! The cradles are back to back and we load one kayak in the two cradles on one side. Than do the same for the other kayak on other side. Kayaks are sideways and back to back to each other
A:
With these Kayak Roof Roller Lift Assists, you will be placing the kayak's bottom onto the rollers (as if it was on the water), in order to maneuver it onto the rooftop. So to get your kayaks into the J-type cradles, you would still need to turn the kayak onto its side, once it was on top of your vehicle, to position it into the cradles. The lift assist could help you get the kayak up to the top of the roof, but it won't get it there with the boat already on its side. How much assistance that gives you loading your kayaks would be a question-mark. Since those are large kayaks, perhaps the momentum of the lift assist will help some. If it did help, using it for first the one kayak and then the second kayak, would not be a problem - but again, whether it offers much assistance, when you still have to turn the kayak onto its the side at the top of the vehicle (or how well/easily that works) may be a question-mark.
Q:
will this product work with a lexus RX 350 SUV?
A:
Does your Lexus SUV have a roof rack system in place already, or do you have a roof rack system you can use on it already? I noticed that some models have the roof rack system already but some do not. The reason I am asking is because the kayak lift assists work to help elevate the kayak - they aren't roof racks, so you would need to have some roof rack system to secure your kayak to your SUV once loaded. Since its a mostly universal system there isn't an exact fit guide to guarantee it will work, but I hope that gives you an idea on whether it might.
Q:
Will this roller work with a 2013 Acura RDX? I have a Yakima Sweet Roll and rack system on the vehicle.
A:
Our Sherpak Kayak Roller should work for your model/year Acura. There isn't a manufacturer's fit guide to guarantee it for any model/make/year auto - so what you would need to consider is the height of what looks like a lip or spoiler above the rear window on your model Acura. The boat roller in the upright position will be raising your kayak a little under 7" high - so when you place the roller on the back window, if 7" clears the top lip/spoiler, you should be fine, and it will help get the boat onto your roof rack. That would be the main concern and something you might want to look at.
Q:
Will this work for a stand up paddle board?
A:
These Kayak Lift Assist Rollers are not suited for use with a SUP, the are fitted to work with the shape of the bottom of a kayak. Unfortunately, we don't currently have a comparable item that would work helping load a paddle board on your rooftop.
Q:
Will it work on a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe? It has a roof rack and cross bars. I am looking for something that will lift it above the funky antenna thing that sits in the middle behind the cross bar at the back.
A:
With this kayak lift assist roller in the upright position, it will will raise the boat about 6.75 inches above the car, so if you placed the roller in the right spot, it might have the kayak at the right angle to clear the antenna; if placed at the other angle, 90 degrees, it raises the boat about 2.75" above the car, but at that increased angle, so that could also possibly work to clear the antenna. I can't 100% guarantee it will work -- but it appears like you should be able to find the right spot on the car, and the angle to use and it would work.
Q:
Will this work on a nissan rogue with a rear spoiler?
A:
These Kayak Lift Assist/Roof Roller may be able to work with that spoiler; there isn't an official fit guide for them, so we can not guarantee they will work for a specific year/make/model vehicle, though. They have a few adjustments, so it may depend on where you place it on your rear window, whether it will clear that particular spoiler; at the two main adjustments: at one setting, they are going to raise the boat about 2.75" above the car, and that is at a 90 degree angle, so the boat will be tilting upwards towards the rooftop - so it will be a bit more than that 3" inches that it will be raised - so depending on where you place the suction cups when using that angle, it could have enough clearance. At the other setting, upright, it is raising the boat up 6.75" above vehicle, so that as well could possibly clear the top. So you may want to look at your car and your boat and see if either of those angles could possibly work to give yourself an idea.
Q:
I have a Yakima bowdown rack. will I be able to roll the boat up while in a side position? Also have this on a Honda Odyssey will it be too tall for me? I am 5'4''
A:
These Kayak Lift Assists don't work for rolling the boat up on its side - you would be placing the underside of the boat on the roller system, so if you are trying to get it to a roof rack that holds it on its side, you would need to turn it at the top and that might not be easy or smooth to do.
Otherwise it should work for your Honda Odyssey - it would just need to clear any spoiler near the rooftop, and it should.
Otherwise it should work for your Honda Odyssey - it would just need to clear any spoiler near the rooftop, and it should.
I don't have a good alternative to suggest to help you lift it on the side, as most of the lift assists don't seem to orient that way. Though this alternative loads the boat from the side of your vehicle, which is different, but I am not certain how easy it is to get the actual kayak into a side-holding roof rack, as it too seems to be inclined to think you aren't using a cradle that holds the boats on their sides -- for reference though its seen here:
https://www.storeyourboard.com/kayak-and-canoe-lift-boat-lift-assist-from-inno/.
https://www.storeyourboard.com/kayak-and-canoe-lift-boat-lift-assist-from-inno/.
Q:
Would this work on a tall truck canopy window?
A:
This kayak lift assists could possibly work for the rear of truck canopy. It is a bit tricky to say - if you have any sort of lip or spoiler on the top of the canopy, the boat would have to be angled to clear that, to get over the top onto your roof rack. You can place the roller anywhere on the back window, and then adjust it to two settings, one that will angle it more if needed (raising the boat a few inches at a 90 degree angle) -- the other position will raise the bout almost 7 inches. So when you are looking at the back of your truck - you want to try to picture what the boat would look like on the roller to see if it might help get it up to the top.
If it it is a very vertical (up and down/straight) rear of that canopy, and tall as you said, it would be a matter of whether you could angle the boat just right.
I wish I had a better way to give you an idea how well it might work for your auto, but maybe if you look at the videos on our listing they can help you see how it works, and then look at your canopy and that may help give you a better idea if it could help you get your kayak up onto your roof rack.
Q:
Will it work on a Porsche Macan 2017?
A:
This kayak assist roof roller should work for your Porsche. There is not an official fit guide available from the manufacturer that guarantees how it will work for different model/year autos though. It looks like that model has a spoiler above the rear window, so it would just be a matter of whether in either position you can use the roller, whether it would raise and angle the boat enough it would help it clear that spoiler onto to your roof top, to be secured to your roof rack. It looks like it should though, especially if you place the system closer to the spoiler.
Q:
Could this be used from the front of the vehicle? In other words use it on the hood and windshield?
A:
No, this kayak roof roller would not work well from the front of the vehicle, and I wouldn't advise it. The angles would not be good and there could be a few other issues. You would need to use it from the rear window, trunk or hatchback.
Q:
I have a KIA Soul with Thule J-style cradles. Will this boat loader work with the vehicle and equipment that I have?
A:
These Kayak Lift Assists should work for your Kia Soul, though you probably would need two of them - one for on the rear of the car and one on top of the roof. But something to consider is that they don't load the kayak on its side - so if you are trying to land the kayak into a J-style rack that holds the boat on its side, this won't do that. You would be rolling it up with the lift assist with the boat in boating position, it doesn't work with the kayak on its side. That means you would have to turn the kayak once its on top of the vehicle - so something to think about in whether or not the assists would be helpful or not.
Q:
Does this work on a sedan?
A:
Because this Kayak Lift Assist has a near-universal fit for most vehicles, there isn't a manufacturer's fit guide that will guarantee it will work for a specific year, make, model of auto -- however, that being noted, it should work fine for most sedans. It is a lift assist only - you will need some sort of transportation rack or tie-downs on your vehicle to secure the kayak; but it will help load the boat. It has a two different angles it can work at, so you would be placing it on either the trunk trunk or rear window of the vehicle, and then can roll your kayak up to the rooftop to secure to the transportation rack.
Q:
Will this work on a Mazda 2016 CX-5?
A:
This Kayak Lift Assist will most likely work for your Mazda; however there isn't a manufacturer's fit guide that will guarantee it will work for a specific make-model-year auto. The main thing to look at with your particular Mazda is how tall any spoiler is over the rear window/hatchback, as the roller would need to be position so that it aims the kayak to get over that spoiler, to the roof where would be attaching the boat to your crossbars. The lift assist can be set up to be either 2.75" tall or 6.75" tall, to aim the boat, either at a 90 degree angle, or upright, so as long as either of the those measurements would make it over any rear window spoiler, you should be fine.
Q:
I have Malone downloader racks. Will this work to load into those? Most of the pictures I've seen on your product are for a flat mount. I would have to load the kayak on its side to thread through the racks
A:
Unfortunately, this Kayak Lift assist doesn't work to load a kayak on its side, so it really doesn't help get a kayak loaded into J-style or other racks that hold the kayaks on their sides on top of your roof. Instead, it basically rolls the kayak up to the roof top with the bottom of the boat going over the rollers, to then be strapped on top of the car. I don't know how much of a help this would be, as it would get the kayak up to the rooftop, but you would then need to tilt the kayak onto its side to get it into your Downloader racks. I don't have a lift assist that helps by having the kayak start in the side-ways position to suggest as an alternative
Q:
Can this be used to get an Old Town 16’ Camper canoe onto the car roof racks?
A:
These lift assists won't work for an Old Town Canoe - the shape of those boats wouldn't work on the rollers. The only lift assist we have that can help get some canoes onto a rooftop is the one seen here, that you attach to your crossbars to lift the canoe from the side of the vehicle onto to the top. I would be concerned that that one may not work for an Old Town, though.
Q:
I'm only 5'2" and own a Suzuki crossover this looks like a perfect way for me to get my Kayak in the J rack. But how difficult is it to get it out of the J racks
A:
This kayak lift assist won't work to help get a kayak into a J-rack, not easily anyhow, as you can't roll the kayak up to the roof top on its side, you need to push it over the roller basically in "boating" position, with the bottom of the boat going over the rollers, to get it to rooftop. You would then have to tilt it on its side, to get it into a J-Rack once on top of the roof rack, so it doesn't actually help out there to any degree. Unfortunately the only lift assists like this one work the same way, so I don't have an alternative to suggest
Q:
Will this product work on a 2013 buick lacrosse?
A:
There really isn't a fit guide, that would guarantee this kayak lift assist will work for a particular vehicle, because it is basically a suction-cup device that can work on almost any vehicle, as long as you apply it to a clean surface. That being said, how well it will work for a particular vehicle and your own needs, may vary. If a vehicle has a top spoiler, or something else like that it needs to clear, it may not work or work well. But if there is nothing in the way for it to have the boat clear, you basically place it on the rear of your car, on a window, hatchback or trunk, and use it to help slide the boat up unto your rooftop; the boat will be in "boating" position -- you have to have the boat's bottom go over the roller for it to work; so that is something else to consider, if you have crossbars and J-style roof racks on your car that hold the boat on its side, the lift assist won't really help, as you would have to flip the boat onto its side once it got to the rooftop. But if you use tie-downs or another way to transport the boat on top of your vehicle, with the boat in a horizontal position (as if on the water), then the lift assist can aide to get the boat up onto that rooftop.
Q:
Will this roller work on a Subaru Outback with mounted J racks for two single kayaks?
A:
There isn't an official fit guide to guarantee how well this kayak lift assist will work for any year/make/model vehicle, since it can be used on most types of autos. Basically you just need to have somewhere clean, on the rear of the auto, where you can place the suction mounts it uses. That can be on the rear window, rear hatch, trunk, of a vehicle.
Then, you have some play on where you set it, and which position you set it at, to adjust the angle your boat would be going/aiming, so that the boat can get to the top of the roof, clearing any spoilers or anything one may have near the rooftop.
So there is flexibility there -- but, you do need to roll the boat over the rollers in what I call, "boating position," meaning you have the bottom/hull of the boat going over the rollers, as the boat is pushed up to the rooftop...so, ultimately, while it would help you get the boat to the top of the auto, if you are securing the boat on its side in a J-rack, you would need to turn the boat sideways once it was on top -- so it really doesn't help as much to get the boat into a rack that holds the boat on its side.
It is mostly designed to get it to a transportation system that has the boat flat, again, in boating position. In your case, too, using it for two boats, you would need to be repositioning the roller to try to get each boat aimed towards the side you would be securing it to the rack, and then flipping the boat upwards on its side once it was there, and that can be awkward, so it isn't something I would really recommend as a great aide in your case. If they are heavy boats, maybe it would help a little, but it may be awkward and not work well.
Q:
I don't have a roof rack on my Toyota Venza because it has a double sunroof. Instead, I use foam cradles. Do you think it would still work? I have a 17 ft long sea kayak.
A:
Yes, this kayak lift assist should work to help you get your boat up to the top of the roof, where you could secure it to your foam cradles, or any other type of tie-downs you use to transport the boat. As long as your cradles or tie-downs work on your vehicle, for transporting the boat, and they hold the boat in "boating position" (not on its side), then the lift assist is a great aide to help get the boat up to the roof. You just need a clean surface on the rear of your vehicle to place the assist's suction cups, then place it at the angle and in the place that works best to maneuver the boat over the roller to clear any rear spoilers, etc., a vehicle may have, to get it up to the roof.
Q:
1) Will this work with a J Style carrier? 2) Will this work with a 2013 Toyota Highlander?
A:
These kayak lift assists work by having you roll the boat over them basically in "boating position", with the hull/bottom of the kayak going over the rollers. It doesn't work to roll the kayak up on its side. So when you are securing your boat to a J-style rack that holds the the kayak on its side, you would need to turn the boat onto its side once it made it to the roof top -- so in most cases, that isn't going to provide as much lift assist as one would want, but basically it would just be helping get the boat directed to the rooftop, but at that point, maneuvering the boat onto its side may be awkward. I don't have an alternative lift assist that works to get the kayak into a rack that holds it on its side. It might help a little bit in some cases where you have a heavier boat and, say, a tall vehicle, to at least get it to the rooftop, though it may be a bit tricky to get it into the J-rack.
As to whether these work on your Highlander, there is no official fit guide for them since they are basically universal -- you just need a clean place on the rear of a vehicle to set up the suction cups, and then you can place it where needed, and at one of the two angles it has, to get the boat directed to the rooftop, as well as over any spoiler on top of the rear of a car.
Q:
How can it help with J hooks?
A:
These lift assists work best for transportation racks that hold the kayak flat. You can get them into a J-hook rack, but since you have to roll the boat up over the list assist in that flat, boating position with the hull/bottom of the boat going over the roller, once you get the boat to the top of the car where your J-hook rack is situated, you will need to tilt the boat onto its side....so the lift assist may help some to get it to the top of the car, but then you will still need to rotate the boat at that point to fit into the J-rack. In some cases, that may be a bit awkward, in some cases the assist may help enough that it makes a difference overall.

Very good; should do exactly as described.
Very useful!

I was very impressed on how easy it was to get my
18’ kayak on top of my 2017 Sabaru Forester. I recommend this product without any reservation.
Excellent addition!

I've started having a little trouble getting my kayak onto my roof, and wasnt kayaking as much as a result. This was the perfect solution for a very reasonable price. Works perfectly on my Forester and am able to get my kayak on and off easily! Thank you for a great product. Highly recommend!

Kayak Lift Helper
Posted: May 23, 2019
Our new 2 person kayak was much heavier and longer than our old one making it a real chore to get up on our roof rack. The Kayak Lift Assist was a great solution allowing us to roll it onto the roof with minimal effort. The assist assembled in a few minutes and mounted easily to our rear hatch window. Would definitely recommend.
Does the trick
Posted: May 5, 2019
I have a 2014 Subaru crosstrek, and it fits the window perfectly, no matter where I place it, so that I am able to put it off to one side, and miss the huge radio antenna. The spoiler on my car is also huge....Just about level with the rollers on the lift assist. But thanks to the shape of the rollers, I am able to take the pressure off the spoiler, ( which I cover with a bathroom rug ) and roll the 49 lb. kayak in the direction I want. It’s not easy, because I am a shrinking septuagenarian.... 4’ 11”..... But it’s doable! Thank you!
Suction Mounted Roof Roller

the product does what is supposed to do. It is easy to get the kayak into my car roof.
Useful product
Posted: November 5, 2018
I bought this so I could get my 17' kayak over the rear spoiler on my car. I worked, but it would have been easier to attach it to the rear window if the suction cups were a bit closer together. In order to get away from the curve in the window, I had to offset the roller quite a bit.
Not as good
Posted: August 1, 2018
This only works if you are loading a single kayak in the center. If you have a two kayak rack and need to load each to side it won't work (on a 2017 Rav 4 anyway). The suction cups are big and do not conform to the contour of the side of the rear hatch glass.
Easy to use and a big help
Posted: July 30, 2018
My husband and I love to kayak but I'm only 5' 3" and we have an SUV. My kayak is fairly light and my husband can put it on the car easily. His kayak is a fishing kayak and weighs almost 75 pounds. We used to put an old towel over the back on the car and he would push the kayak onto the j-rack. I would try to keep it going on straight and not fall off the roof. Now, he places the bow onto the roof roller and I can push it onto the rack with ease. The suction cups will stick to the windows as well as the part of the hood that overlaps the rear window.

Excellent product. Saves my back lifting my kayak on the roof of my vehicle
The perfect solution
Posted: May 30, 2018
I have been kayaking for over 20 years and have travelled to many places thoughout the US. This product has made it so easy for me to load and unload my kayak by myself. I am 65 years old and it was putting stress on my shoulder to lift over my head a 50 pound 12 ft kayak. A simple brilliant well made device delivered exactly how it was advertised. Thank you Storeyourboard!
One thing don't forget to press down on the suction cups when push the lever. And keep your hand away when you release them they are very powerful and can snap back on your finger......
Excellent product
Posted: May 4, 2018
I am 52 years old, and I enjoy fishing, I just bought my first kayak so I wanted to be able to get it on the roof of my car by myself. This product allows me to do it all by myself. Love it!
Great product, but not sure if it will reach up over my new car's roof spoiler
Posted: April 16, 2018
This is a great solution for loading my kayak onto my Subaru Forester! However, I just traded my 2012 Forester for a 2018 Forester model, which now has a real hatch spoiler above the rear window edge. I am not sure if this kayak lift assist roller will work without causing rubbing on the roof or the Subaru Forester's roof radio antenna unit.
If only this roof roller's "arms" were maybe a couple of inches longer in terms of "reach" it would be 100% fine. But I still might have to put a rubber mat on the roof to prevent my kayak from rubbing the roof while loading.
BUT... all of that said, this is a GREAT and affordable solution to help get my 'yak up on by roof rack! No complaints, just a suggestion! BTW, all of the other comments about the suction cups not working... not true! I have absolutely no trouble getting the suction cups to stick. But ya gotta hold them firmly down to the glass BEFORE you flip the lock levers, and the glass has to be pretty clean (not perfect, just clean). I have no trouble... works every time.

Was looking for a way to conveniently get kayak on our Subaru without damaging the paint or the fin that overhangs the rear window and protects the camera. This product was just what the doctor ordered!
Poor suction
Posted: September 15, 2017
Bought this a few years ago. Very rarely will it stay suctioned to the car glass.
Flawed suction cup design keeps it from being an excellent solution!
Posted: August 23, 2017
The suction cups have a small nipple in the center which make this very difficult to get connected to a flat surface. Once you do, it's an excellent solution for loading a kayak by yourself. Mine is a tandem kayak and I'm loading it to the top of a Jeep Liberty. It was near impossible any other way. I suggest you buy two as I did, one for the hood and one for the top of your vehicle.

did not work for my vehicle which is a Toyota 4Runner which is quite tall and has a faring on the back and this item does not clear the faring. The suction cups didn't work either but since the fit was not right anyway I did not try too hard to get them to work right.
Kayak roller assist

The roller assist makes putting large kayaks on top of the vehicle much easier. Just make sure the suction cups are secure! Definitely a product worth buying
Single?

Don't let being single keep you off the water. I needed to find a way to load my kayak on top of my SUV. This roller was a cheap, easy, and convenient product. Awesome gadget. I just lean the tip of the kayak on the rollers, position my portable step ladder beside the kayak, pick up the other end and start walking towards the vehicle and up the ladder. Hardly any upper body strength needed.
Might or might not work on your car.

The roller probably works well on a few car models, but on mine at least, the arm does not rise above the roofline. Doesn't matter how the suctions are oriented, the kayak scrapes the roof. Anyone want an unused roof roller?
Also, if you have any curvature in your rear window, forget attaching the device. The shoes do not rotate to account for curvature. Overall, before you buy, try.
Just what I needed!

Gone are the days when I could toss an 85 lb. boat on the roof rack by myself. This roller works beautifully - and doesn't break the bank. There's a bit of a learning curve to get the suction cups to seat properly, but that's a small problem. I love it!
