Oak Orchard's
"BASIC KAYAK J-CRADLE"

Our designers here at Oak Orchard also have designed the "J- Cradle" kayak carrier to car top kayaks safely and easily. Our standard hardware will fit either Yakima or Thule bars. Optional hardware is available for most other factory luggage racks. This design is much more effective than a mere stacker and its tall enough to handle even the widest tandem kayaks -yet narrow kayaks are no problem. Other J's and stackers have many more parts to remove, are more difficult to take on and off and are usually only about 1/2 the height of our J-Cradle.
J-Cradle is an easy one person load! (others require 2 people)
You can actually set your kayak in the J-Cradle without it falling over before you get it strapped down! (try that with a stacker!)
Includes two hull straps.
Use J-Cradles for kayak wall storage with optional Wall Mount Kit.
Always use bow and stern straps (sold separately).
(Basic model shown) No Rust Galvanized Steel with durable 3" wide rubber padding.

OUR BEST SELLING KAYAK CARRIER!
Be kind to your expensive composite, poly or wood kayak! The experts are paddlers here at Oak Orchard and know what it takes to build the ideal J-Cradle.

It has special Stainless steel construction and rubberized Trimlock edging and triple rubber padded surface.
All exposed edges are completely padded for the ultimate protection and security.
We call it the "Deluxe J-Cradle" -without a doubt, the best way to carry a kayak on it's side.

Kayak
Mini Roller
"Loading and Unloading
doesn't get any easier than this"


Fits Yakima and Thule bars.
An excellent aid for those who load their kayak from the rear of their vehicle.




Above - Mini Roller shown on rack with Yakima Hully Rollers®
Oak Orchard Kayak Mini Roller
"Loading and Unloading doesn't get any easier than this"
Fits Yakima or Thule bars. An excellent aid for those who load their kayak from the rear of their vehicle.
At Oak Orchard we are always trying to improve the Kayaker's way of life! Our most recent innovation is our "Mini Roller". Now loading and unloading is easier with the Oak Orchard Mini Roller. Less work = more fun! The "Mini Roller" is particularly helpful if your kayak is a little heavy or if your Hullys need to be spaced farther apart. This device goes between Yakima's Hully Rollers or any other type of saddles such as Thule Hydroglides and makes loading and unloading a snap!!! The dilemma many people have with Hully Rollers is if you place them far apart you'll have good hull contact and be less likely to dent the bottom of your kayak but that means loading is more difficult since the kayak can only slide on the crossbar. Mini Rollers improve the effectiveness of your Hully Rollers or saddles by preventing your boat from skidding on the bar until the larger Hully Rollers can roll the hull. Your kayak will be on rollers 100% of the time while loading or unloading if you use our Mini Roller!
Our Mini Rollers all Stainless steel frame and 5" rubber roller will work between any pair of saddles or rollers. Specify whether for Thule or Yakima bars.

Oak Orchard’s Exclusive "SUV KAYAK ROLLER LOADER"

Now, loading/unloading your kayak on to your SUV, Suburban & mini-van vehicles with a rear lift door, just got a lot easier.

The KAYAK SUV ROLLER comes in three versions and two sizes.
The "Fin" style with a bottom "fin" to simply drop into the "crack" in the roof where the door meets the roofline. Load the boat, lift the roller out and put it away.
The "Velcro" style comes with a flat bottom (no fin) and will simply "Velcro" to the flat surface of most vehicles that may have a swing type door. Also fits most car rooflines, trunk lids & pickup truck opened tailgates. Industrial grade Velcro is used to adhere this roller while you slide your kayak on – then simply remove. The one piece of Velcro will stay in place on the vehicle for next time.
The "Magnetic" style comes with a flat, magnetic bottom (no fin) and will simply "stick" to any, flat metal area of a vehicle that may have a swing or lift type door. Also fits most car rooflines, trunk lids & pickup truck opened tailgates. A powerful magnet will adhere this roller while you roll your kayak on – then simply remove.
NOTE: The Magnetic Style SUV Roller requires a metal surface. If your vehicle does not have an appropriate metal surface, use our "Velcro Style" roller.

NOW KAYAKING WILL BE EVEN MORE FUN !!

Fin Roller available in two Widths
Big 12" Roller (for all kayaks - Our Best Selling model!)

Yakima Boatloader
Having Trouble Loading That Heavy Kayak or Canoe?
Integrated, load assistance for all types of kayaks and vehicles with Yakima Racks. Telescoping design helps keep the kayak away from the vehicle while loading then retracts out of the way. Provides an extendable and retractable extra length to your front crossbar so you can easily lift the bow of your kayak onto the Boatloader and then lift the stern onto the rack. This is much easier since you are only lifting 1/2 the weight at a time. Great for Sedans and other scenarios where Hully Rollers are less effective than loading from the side. Especially useful on tall vehicles. Works great with J Cradles. Clever telescoping design stores neatly inside Yakima round bars.

Thule Rack Accessories

Thule Kayak Hullavator 897XT
For many solo and tandem paddlers, one of the biggest challenges they face isn?t on the water, but the loading of their boat on their vehicle. Thule, the world leading manufacturer of sport racks and car carrying solutions, is introducing Hullavator that reduces the power needed to load a boat to the roof of vehicle by 50%. "As easy as our current carrier systems are to load and unload, the fact of the matter is that in most cases the boat still needs to be lifted above the paddler's head to load the boat on to the vehicle," said Steve Doviak, Marketing Manager Thule Inc. "With the Hullavator, the boat only needs to be lifted to about waist height and the loader provides the extra muscle to make loading and unloading a breeze no matter your height or strength." The Hullavator features a gas strut that assists the loading and unloading. It can be attached to any Thule or Yakima rack system and takes up only 28 inches of the load bar, leaving plenty of room for other gear carrying accessories. The lift system functions without any contact to the vehicle and reduces traditional loading height by more than 3 feet. The Hullavator is capable of carrying all types of kayaks and will come with an installed cradle assembly and tie downs. The new Thule #897 Hullavator kayak carrier is on sale NOW at Oak Orchard.
