5 customers mention4 positive1 negative

Customers like the lifting capabilities of the transport rack. They say it beats lifting and works much better than other things they tried. Some say it helps with over the head lifting to some extent, but for $350, they expected more. That said, it's great for lifting kayaks and boats, and it'll make it easier to raise and lower them.

Good overall but expensive
This Kayak cazrrier and load assist is a God sent. I was having a lot of trouble loading my kayak on my own and this set is great. The con's I had to buy them seperately which was not cheap at all and the load assist is a little bit flimsey. Overall I would recommend this set to any kayaker.
