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.

| 35 of 35 people found the following review helpful  Very Sturdy., By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule Stacker Carrier (Automotive) Installed it basically to put 2 kayaks on top of the car instead of just one. Installation was pretty easy and it is nice the way it can be folded down for convenience. Handled the job just fine. Put two 15 ft sit-on-top kayaks on the TrailBlazer's factory installed rack with the Stacker. 33 of 33 people found the following review helpful Most affordable model for multiple kayaks, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thule Stacker Carrier (Automotive) Before I bought the Thule 830 I looked at the 835XT which is extremely popular around New England. Retail price for two 835s (to hold two kayaks) is well over 250 bucks as of this writing. Sure, it's probably easier to load a kayak on the 835 instead of the 830, but it's not just the price, it's also the added wind resistance and possible drop in gas mileage that could result.The Thule 830 is a little bit more complicated to use, but it's more versatile than more expensive models. The two center rests fold down when not in use (and thus reduces drag) and it can handle up to four kayaks if your roof is big enough. It's a little more difficult to use than the 835 because there's no cradle for you to just plop the kayak into. Instead, you have to sort of balance the Kayak against the two posts while you tie it down. Also, the other drawback is that the straps provided are really only intended for one kayak. You could perhaps push it and use them for two, but another...

The Thule 830 Stacker fits onto virtually all roof racks; Thule, Yakima as well as most factory. I purchased this one to fit on the factory rack of my 2006 Toyota Highlander and was not disapointed.The quality of material and craftsmanship is subpurb. The instructions were clearly written and the diagrams were large enough and easy to transition words to pictures. The rack was installed in less than half an hour and if you have good strong hand grip, no tools necessary; although I would recommend that you take at least one turn with the aid of a pair of plyers just to ensure that the rack does not slip. If you are going to put this on a set of Yakima round load bars you will definately need to use plyers as I found out when I transfered the stacker to the Yakima bars on my pick up truck. Even after tightening with plyers the racks can be... Read more |
