Yakima LowRider Trailer – Low-Profile Gear Trailer for Kayaks & Canoes
The Yakima LowRider Trailer is a purpose-built, low-slung hauler for paddlers who want a simple, strong, and affordable kayak/canoe trailer that’s easy to live with. With a rugged steel frame and a streamlined design, the LowRider takes the hassle out of getting boats to the launch—so you can focus on the water, not the loading.
Built around an engineered steel frame with a tough black powder coat finish, the LowRider is designed for real-world trailering: road spray, gravel lots, and frequent use. A solid axle with leaf spring suspension helps keep towing smooth under load, while the adjustable crossbar positioning lets you dial in fit for a wide range of boat shapes and setups. And when it’s time to back down the ramp, fully submersible LED lighting makes launches and retrievals stress-free.
Built for Paddlers: Stable, Adjustable, and Launch-Ready
The LowRider includes two 78" Yakima HD Bar crossbars with integrated tie-down endcaps to keep your straps clean and secure. With a crossbar spread range of 32"–67", you can tune the setup for kayaks, canoes, and other personal watercraft—up to 20 feet long.
Confident Towing and Practical Details
Small details add up: a built-in coupler protector, tail light protection brackets, and a common 5.3" × 12" tire size that’s easy to service. The trailer uses a standard 2" ball and can be towed with all classes of hitch receiver. An ergonomic handle helps you maneuver the trailer by hand when space is tight.
