Take to the water today with Thule's heavy duty aquatic sports carrier, suitable for canoes, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and surfboards up to 90cm wide. The DockGrip's T-track fitting and FlipFit brackets also allow mounting to a variety of bar types and an ample 40kg weight capacity means you can carry almost any type of kayak.
The Dock Grip features four heavy duty saddle type pads, with lever control pivoting allowing easier loading from the side. The saddle pads also have excellent flexibility and cushioning, plus a soft surface so your finishes won't be affected. T-track fitting allows the entire bar to be used, giving you more flexibility in terms of positioning. It also includes two straps which are 400cm long each which is plenty for most applications.
With front and rear saddle type pads, this carrier not only can carry more weight than others, it can also accommodate all types of watersports boards, not just canoes and kayaks.
The included straps are designed to be easy on your craft's finish and the buckle bumpers will do the same for your car, saving your paint. All in all this is a solid, thoughtfully designed and flexible carrier, made to the always excellent Thule standards.
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.
