Your 4x4 rig is too tall, your new kayak is too heavy, or perhaps your SUP is too wide to get a good grip on. Thankfully the good folks at RhinoRack have a simple solution to solve your loading woes.
The Rhino Universal Side Loader or RUSL as it's known in short, is designed to make hard to load water crafts and other items an easy one person operation. It does so by having a side loading bar clip around your rack and extending to one side, a simple yet very effective solution.
It can support 20kg with just this or up to 60kg in conjuction with the included support bar.
The underside of the clamps are padded to protect your car and it is compatible with most roof racks on the market. In addition it also has an integrated load stop to ensure your boatt or board doesn't slide off the end.
Please note, this item will not fit on Whispbar rail bars.
