Review on 🚣 Codinter Kayak Roller: Easy Loading and Unloading with Heavy-Duty Suction Cups Mount by Luis Tuazon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works! But try it first.

Works very well. But you need to define a few things. First, when you lean the kayak against it, what prevents the kayak from rolling back? And what protects the steering wheel from bending or rubbing on the road? Second, how will you attach or detach the cart during loading? Third, does the roller put pressure on the sensor on the bottom of the kayak? Finally, is it safe to transport a kayak open? For me, the Hobie Outback Mirage 2020 was pretty easy. Connect the trolley, connect the loading aid (included with the Hobie), set up the kayak and lift the front end towards the ice rink. Then raise your back; the trolley is automatically disconnected. Now slide the kayak into place. Luckily the antenna doesn't get stuck and the kayak touches the crossbars. Repeat in reverse order to unload. Edit: I use this device on every trip for loading and unloading. There were at least 20 trips. And have also tried it with another Hobie kayak (Revo 16). Works great and is lightweight. However, I had two accidents: once it was dark and I didn't realize that the kayak was slightly off-center. He slid sideways, crushed a car parked next to it and fell onto the roadway. On another occasion when I was pushing the kayak up when the transducer's notch hit the foam roller, I kept pushing the kayak on the roller instead of lifting the kayak and continuing to push with just the crossbars. The roller broke off and scratched the barrel. He also hit the glass, which luckily didn't break. Both accidents are half my fault. Loading a 100-pound kayak onto a vehicle can result in serious injury to people and property. The manufacturer must warn users.

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Speed
