ABSTRACT:
A device allowing one person to easily and conveniently load a kayak or similar article onto an automobile's roof rack. The device comprises several freely rotating rollers oriented in a "V" configuration by rigid struts attached to a crossmember. Padded feet flexibly mounted to vertical stanchions extending downward from the crossmember support the rear most portion of the loading device. An attachment mechanism extends forward from the crossmember which securly latches the loading device onto a vehicle's roof rack crossbar. Loading a kayak requires first positioning a kayak's bow into the vertex of the rollers. The stern of the kayak is then pushed upwardly and forwardly along the rollers onto the automobile's roof rack. The device is removed from the automobile's roof rack after the kayak is loaded.
