The Yak-Bone puts a 28 in crossbar on a post that drops into your trailer hitch. Set the height between 48 and 62 in, rest the boat on it, then use the 360 degree swivel to pivot the kayak into line with the roof rack. The aluminum build keeps it to 16 lb.

KayakDIY take: Taking half the weight off at the back of the vehicle makes solo loading much more manageable. For more gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
