The Load Lock® Stabilized Hull Cradle System for
The Handy-Hooker™ Canoe and Kayak Storage Hoist

Please click here to view a video on the installation and use of this product.

For maximum hull protection, the Load Lock® Canoe & Kayak Stabilized Hull Cradle System quickly adjusts to fit any kayak or canoe and is designed specifically for use with the Handy-Hooker™ Canoe and Kayak Hoist & Storage Kit (but it is fully compatible with all canoe and kayak hoists).

If your kayak or canoe does not have lanyards or lifting rings or to prevent hull damage during extended storage periods, we offer a Canoe & Kayak Stabilized Hull Cradle (hoist sold separately). Our Canoe & Kayak Hull Cradle distributes the support around the hull and is particularly well suited for the storage of plastic or wood hulled canoes and kayaks, which are most susceptible to warpage over time when hanging from the far ends. This system provides a simple solution that permits the optimal sideways storage of kayaks to prevent hull damage during storage.

The Load Lock® Canoe & Kayak Stabilized Hull Cradle System includes:

7' Load Lock® Cradle Straps with Stainless Steel Lifting / Stabilizing Rings (Qty. 2)

12' Load Lock® Stabilizer Strap (adjustable from 4.5' to 12') with Stainless Steel Snap Hooks (Qty. 1)

The 7' Load Lock® Cradle Straps are quickly and fully adjustable to secure each end of a kayak and are joined by the lifting rings by a 12' Load Lock® Stabilizer Strap (adjustable from 4-1/2 to 12 feet) to prevent accidental slippage or release of a secure kayak or canoe. Constructed of nylon strap, high strength Load Lock® Fasteners and stainless steel hardware, our Stabilized Canoe & Kayak Cradles are rust-proof and are built to last a lifetime, even in outdoor environments.

The Load Lock® Canoe & Kayak Stabilized Hull Cradle System is simple to use, 100% secure, and is fully adjustable to fit all canoes & kayaks.


1.) Slip the 7' Load Lock® Hull Cradle Straps over both ends of a canoe or kayak to a well supported region and adjust using the slip-proof Load Lock® mechanism. the ideal location is typically 2-4' in from the ends but varies by make and model. For canoes, the hull cradle straps should be positioned around thwarts or seat bars to prevent distortion at the top gunwales.	2.) Connect the Canoe and Kayak Hoist to the Lifting / Stabilizing Rings on the 7' Load Lock® Cradle Straps, position for nearly vertical alignment of the hoist straps, and further adjust cradle straps for tightness as necessary.	3.) Connect the stainless steel snap hooks at both ends of the Load Lock® Stabilizer Strap to the Lifting / Stabilizing Rings on the 7' Load Lock® Cradle Straps (the same rings where the hoist is connected to the hull cradle straps).

4.) Adjust the Load Lock® Stabilizer Strap to the desired length (removing any slack) to ensure that the Hull Cradle Straps cannot slip off the ends of the canoe or kayak. For easiest lifting and maximum hull protection, the Stabilizer Strap should be adjusted to provide vertical positioning of the hoist straps and should typically be at least 2' to 3' from each end of a canoe or kayak, opposite the thwarts if possible.
