The DownLoader holds a kayak on its side with corrosion-resistant aluminum frames, oversize foam padding and replaceable fabric sleeves and base pads. The built-in ramp helps slide the boat up, and the frame folds to 6 in tall when empty. Jawz2 universal hardware, two bolt lengths, 11 ft cam straps and bow and stern lines are included.
