The DockGlide is essentially a set of four pads engineered to make loading and hauling your kayak easy. It can accommodate kayaks up to 90cm wide and up to 35kg in weight, so almost any type of craft can be carried.
The rear pivoting pads are felt lined to allow easy loading from the rear of the vehicle and to protect the finish of your craft when you slide it onto the carrier. The front saddle type pivoting pads feature an angle setting lever which allows a limitless range of hull shapes to be carried perfectly. These pads are also flexible and nicely cushioned, which further ensure no scratches on your hull, and ease of use.
To complete the package, DockGlide includes two 400cm long centre load straps which also have buckle bumpers to protect the surface of your vehicle.
The carrier only has a T-slot fitting adapter. This mounting does allow arguably greater range of positioning of the cradles to the bars compared with ‘wrap around’ versions.
You can key alike your Thule products by purchasing lock cores separately. If you have any further questions about key matching please contact us for more information.
