There have been threads talking about the loading devices that attach to a vehicle’s rear window with suction cups, and the fact that these often don’t provide enough stand-off to clear the rear spoiler on a lot of SUVs or hatchbacks. I came across this device that has three legs and three suction cups. It appears to be quite tall, and might be the solution to clear the spoiler. It’s the only one I have seen with this three legged design.

If that don’t clear the spoiler it must be one heck of a spoiler.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. It’s so new on the market that there aren’t any reviews yet. It looks like it could be a good idea.
They don’t give dimensions, but in their picture it looks like it’s as big as a chair.
I looked at other products on their amazon page, and they have other rollers for sale too. This one is so huge the suction cups barely fit on car windows.
And their models have freakishly huge hands
I thought big hands was a good thing…
Looks well made, outstanding reviews talking about the spoiler problem, good balance, weight and stress distribution, not toooo expensive, might be pretty nice.
None of the photos for these products show the device being used with a kayak with a deeper V hull. It appears suitable for a flat-bottomed kayak. Other kayaks will be riding directly on the keel when loading and the sides won’t touch the foam rollers at all, risking damage to the keel. This is the problem with all the roller loaders I’ve seen.
