The Will-I-Loader is designed with a unique locking gear and gas strut arrangement to be used in both the loading and unloading of kayaks. This loader was designed to remove the high angle needed to rotate a kayak to load onto a roof rack and damage the rear of the kayak and rudder assemblies. The loader consists of a stainless steel gear and locking pin arrangement and a gas strut that supports the weight on the way down and lifts the front end of the kayak for you when loading. The kayak is loaded by pulling the loader down to the loading position where the kayak can be wheeled on the trolley and the nose placed directly onto the loader. The front can then be pushed against the load-activation lever and the kayak then pushed up and onto the roof of the vehicle. The gas strut needs to be sized for the weight of the kayak so we have 3 options available. We recommend taking most of your accessories off the kayak while traveling but make sure you allow for them when choosing the size.

The Will-I-Loader has been engineered and built to last with the following features.

  • Stainless steel gearing and locking pins
  • Fits a 50mm tow hitch receiver
  • Heavy-duty aluminium tubing
  • Short overhang to increase entry and exit angles and remain legal when driving
  • Safety pin when driving
  • Stainless steel brackets
  • Adjustable V to suit a range of kayaks
  • Soft LDPE pads for the kayak to slide on
  • Cheater bar for pre-loading gas strut
  • Interchangeable mounts for different gas struts depending on weight
  • Remote number plate mount
  • Bumper for loading kayak
  • Plastic topped activation lever

No more back pain

While I did run into an issue with the order, Martyn made sure it was corrected as soon as he could and had the loader shipped express. Got it quickly after that. The loader itself is awesome. It does wiggle and make noise once on when you're driving but I guess that's to be expected. I'm just not used to having something on my tow hitch. Just putting it out there so it doesn't catch you off guard.. Putting it together isn't hard but due to weight and shape it'd be easier if you had help. After that it's easy to use. Makes things a lot easier. Quick to load and unload. No more breaking your back. While the price may be a little intimidating for some, it's well worth the price. It's well built but for me the biggest benefit is the ease and quickness of loading/unloading and eliminating the back pain associated with that task.

Wil-I-Loader

I love this loader. My boat is a 16' dual person and weighs 90lbs, so it's hard for me to load it on my F-150. This loader makes it simple to load and unloading is like nothing. The only thing I would suggest is a hole or hook to strap it to the tailgate when you are traveling to hold it steady. Other than that, this is a fantastic device and as far as I know, the only one on the market that works for us older truck owners who aren't ready to give up the sport quite yet. Thanks Berley Pro.

The best option I found for lifting a heavy kayak on a truck rack.

After searching awhile for a good option to lift my Old Town auto pilot onto my truck rack, I purchased the Will I loader. It was easy to assemble and honesty works better than I expected. If you don’t want to have to buy a trailer this is a great option and leaves the truck bed open to carry other stuff. The US exchange rate saves you a lot as well.

Takes a few tries to get the hang of it. Easy way to load a kayak onto a truck rack.

Will-I- Loader 45-55kg

Previously I struggled with loading my Hobie Outback on my Ute roof racks with another type of loader, so I used my box trailer to tow it around. The Will-I-Loader now makes the task of roof loading so much better, it has allowed me to take my kayak to more places fishing and now there is no more struggling find a place to park with the trailer, and it is so much easier to roof load after a long day of fishing. The Will-I-Loader is a quality piece of engineering that should last the test of time.
