Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier: The Ultimate Solution for Kayak Transportation

The Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier is an innovative and secure solution for transporting your kayaks, canoes, or small boats on the roof of your vehicle. With features designed for ease of use and maximum security, this carrier is a must-have for outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, adjustable, and durable way to haul their gear. Here’s a detailed look at the key features and specifications of this versatile kayak carrier, along with where to buy it and why you should consider purchasing from Car Roof Box Shop UK.

Key Features of the Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier

Lockable Security
The Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier offers robust locking mechanisms that ensure both your kayak and the carrier are securely fastened. It includes two 400cm lockable straps with a steel core for added protection against theft. These straps can be tightened even when they are locked, providing peace of mind knowing that your equipment is safe while you're on the road. Whether you're leaving your kayak on the car for a short stop or a longer duration, the lockable feature guarantees security.

Tilltable for Easy Loading and Unloading
The tiltable design of the Thule kayak carrier allows for easy loading and unloading of your kayak, making the process less strenuous. This user-friendly feature helps you get your gear on and off the roof rack quickly and without hassle, especially helpful after a long day on the water when you’re ready to head home.

Adjustable Supports
This kayak carrier is engineered to fit a variety of kayak shapes and sizes. Its thick rubber supports adjust to perfectly accommodate your kayak, canoe, or even small boats. This adaptability ensures that the pressure is evenly distributed across the hull, preventing damage during transit and keeping your equipment safe and secure.

Compatibility with Various Roof Bars
The Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier is compatible with all T-track aluminium bars available in the market, including top brands like Atera, CRUZ, Thule (including Slide Bar), and Yakima. Yakima users will need additional adapters for their wide-slot HD and LNL bars. It also fits well with the Drop racks roof loading system. For Thule Slide Bars or Drop racks, eye-bolts (sold separately) are required to secure the straps as traditional strap-under-bar setups are not possible. Adapters (8897) for square bars are also available separately.

City Crash Tested & Approved
The Thule K-Guard Kayak Carrier has been rigorously tested and approved for transporting kayaks up to 45kg, ensuring durability and safety even on rough roads. It has passed the demanding City Crash tests, providing an extra layer of reassurance when driving with your kayak secured on top of your vehicle.
