Stackable Rooftop Kayak Transport Up to Four Boats
The Thule 830 Stacker Rooftop Kayak Carrier is an ideal kayak carrying solution for paddlers who need to transport multiple boats on a budget, and/or with minimal available rack space. Designed around two folding Stacker support assemblies, each attached to your pre-installed roof rack load bars, the Stacker Rooftop Kayak Carrier allows kayaks up to 34-inches wide to be secured on their sides, side-by-side. Stacker support assemblies sit upright between kayaks, with straps running from supports, across the top of kayaks to load bars to secure boats. Each carrier, with its two supports and two attachment straps, can secure up to two boats (additional rope and ratcheting hooks may be needed for front and rear securing of the second boat), with a maximum of four boats per vehicle. Vertical stowage and transport in this way also efficiently uses the precious space atop your roof rack, allowing for other roof rack accessories to share space with the Stacker Rooftop Carrier. The Thule 830 Stacker Rooftop Kayak Carrier with its foldable design is also very aerodynamic Folded down this way when not loaded, its low profile instantly reduces wind resistance on moving vehicles, thus improving gas mileage and reducing wind noise. This functionality also allows for better clearance around low branches and garages.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
