Thule Folding Uprights 520-1
Thule 520-1 Kayak Stacker
Folding Kayak Uprights for Roof Racks
The Thule 520-1 folding uprights allow you to carry multiple kayaks on their side. The side carrying design allows for space to also mount a narrow roof box or cycle carrier, perfect for holidays and day trips.
When not in use, this kayak carrier can be folded down flat to deduce the vehicle height and to reduce drag.
The Thule 520-1 is supplied with a T track adapter so that it can be fitted directly to the T track profile used on the Thule Aero, Wing, and Slide Bars.
One pair of 2.75m Thule roof rack straps are supplied, but If you are planning to carry two kayaks, you will need to buy a second pair of straps.
Note: If you are loading your kayak onto standard plastic coated bars, we suggest fitting roof bar pads for extra grip and padding. (T Track bars have a rubber strip that does this without additional padding)
Features
- The kayak stackers can be folded flat when not in use.
- Sturdy straps keep the kayak firmly secured.
- A rubber pad around the strap buckle protects the kayak and car from scratches during loading and transport.
