Total agreement from this quarter - I'm 5'7" and my paddling support vehicle is a '97 Cherokee and the process (pre Hully Rollers) consisted of hoisting/balancing the kayak above my head with both arms fully extended (I think the weightlifting term is "clean and jerk") and then rolling it into the cradles. Doing this in a 20 knot wind no doubt provided many laughs for passing spectators, but was always a task fraught with dread for me. The Hully Rollers made loading kayaks onto a tall vehicle MUCH easier.
