Yes.  There are several makes and models that have been available 
over the years.  Werner made one, IIRC.  So did Nimbus and others.  
There was a nice wooden one as well.  A friend made his own version 
by copying the original (the original was owned by a controversial 
fellow that contributed - not positively - to the formation of 
Paddlewise).
