The MOS UpLift™ is a multi-sport, lift-assisted system designed to make loading and unloading your gear easier and safer. Installed on your car’s roof rack crossbars or on a van’s rear-door rack, it lowers your equipment by 2 feet (61 cm) for quick, ergonomic access and assists up to 75% of the load back up thanks to its gas springs.

It works with the racks you already own or can purchase on the market — bike racks of all kinds, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard cradles, roof boxes, and ski racks. With its shape, the MOS UpLift™ can even function as a cradle on its own.

Always ensure that the total load stays within the 125 lb (56 kg) capacity of the MOS UpLift™, the limits of your racks (bike rack, roof rack crossbars, van rear rack, cargo carrier, etc.), and your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications.

Essential for Using Rooftop

I received the Mos UpLift in exchange for content creation and an honest review.

My experience with the Mos UpLift has been excellent. It makes using the space on top of my car so much easier - especially when carrying mountain bikes without blocking access to my tailgate. At 5'3", loading bikes onto the roof would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for me without the UpLift.

The system feels sturdy and well built, and its lowering mechanism moves smoothly. There was a short learning curve, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy to use. I've used it both with Thule bike mounts and a rooftop box, and it has worked reliably and seamlessly with both setups.

I have noticed some additional wind resistance while driving, but for me, that is a worthwhile tradeoff for the convenience and accessibility the UpLift provides. I highly recommend it.

Tellement satisfait que nous en avons acheté une version 2.0 !

Bonjour,
Nous sommes des clients de MOS depuis le pré-lancement.
L'été dernier nous avons vendu notre version originale et nous nous sommes procuré une paire du nouveau MOS Up Lift !!!
Tellement satisfait. Je le recommande fortement.
Bon été !
Daniel.

MOS lift for Ford F150

I purchased the MOS lift to assist me in getting my Delta tandem kayak onto my pickup truck. I am quite pleased with the assistance the lift provided in making the heavy kayak much more manageable.

Merci!

Bonsoir monsieur Hébert je vous avais contacté en août 2023 car j'avais des interrogations en référence avec le MOS UpLift
et mon fameux kayak de 90 livres.

Nous voulons vous remercier vous et votre équipe de nous avoir permis de renouer avec notre passion le kayak de mer, ci-joint quelques photos. Je peux vous confirmer que nous ne passons pas inaperçu.

Encore merci

Marjolaine et Pierre

Un produit dont on ne veut plus se passer

Dès le début, le MOS UpLift m’a convaincu. Il permet de charger l’équipement sur ma voiture de manière autonome et moindre effort. Tant en été, pour les velos et embarcations, qu’en hiver avec la boite cargo.
Enfin je ne suis plus à bout de bras!

Très bon produit

Bravo à toute l'équipe MOS pour ce très beau produit. Moi qui est petite, il serait très difficile d'être autonome dans la pratique de mon sport (le vélo de montagne) sans ce dernier . Le MOS me permet de mettre mon vélo sur le toit de ma Mazda 5 sans me casser la tête, et le dos !

Le MOS Rack: un allié incomparable pour nos expéditions en vélo!

Je suis très satisfait de mon MOS Rack que j'ai acquis dès son pré-lancement et que j'ai depuis le printemps 2020. Merci à Joey et à son équipe!

waiting for the spring

I have assembled the MOS Uplift but unfortunately it is winter here and I am waiting to install it on the jeep. However it appears well made and solidly engineered. I am installing the rack on 2" round crossbars and I am using the modified install parts supplied from MOS. It is assembled in the garage and looks terrific. Time will tell.

Excellent produit

J'utilise le MOS Uplift depuis le début de l'été et j'adore le produit. La commodité d'avoir facilement accès à mes supports à vélo est un luxe dont je ne me passerait plus (surtout après une grosse sortie!). Le design est soigné et l'efficacité du système impressionnante. De l'installation jusqu'à aujourd'hui, je n'ai que des bons commentaires sur le Uplift. Merci à l'équipe de MOS pour ce beau produit local, durable et pertinent!

Sorta works

The lift assist does NOTHING for the final 5 inches !! I bought this because I have physical challenges and can't get my kayak onto my car's roof. If I wasn't 6ft tall and able to push the kayak up the last 5inches with my HEAD!!...I STILL wouldn't be able to get my kayak up w this lift!

Also, the entire instruction manual is in French. So no help.

Hi Mr. Schnell,

We are very sorry to hear that the product didn’t meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Your satisfaction is very important to us. To better understand the situation and find a solution, could you please send us a few photos of your setup while lifting your kayak to support@mosracks.com? If possible, a short video would also be very helpful.

Regarding the lift assist. On the way down, the system is designed to bring the kayak close to the loading position, reducing the effort required. On the way up, a small final horizontal push is necessary to bring the kayak back into the locked final position. Depending on the vehicle height and kayak weight, this final step may feel a bit harder.

That said, the system was designed to ensure a comfortable loading experience overall. Since the 5-inch gap you mentioned seems more than expected, we’d like to better understand your setup (vehicle make/model, crossbar type, kayak length/weight) to see if we can troubleshoot and possibly adjust your unit for easier use.

Regarding the manual. The user manual provided in the box is fully bilingual (French/English) and contains all assembly and installation instructions. There is no French-only version of the installation manual. However, you may have found a product presentation guide online that exists in French only. Please note this is not the installation manual, it highlights the features of the MOS UpLift only.

If there was no bilingual user manual in your box, our apologies for this. Please send un an email to support@mosracks.com and we’d be happy to send you a PDF copy of the bilingual user manual. We will also share a short video of a team member using the MOS UpLift so you can compare your experience with the intended operation.

Once we receive your photos/video, we’ll be able to provide tailored recommendations to make loading your kayak easier and more comfortable.

Thank you again for allowing us the opportunity to make this right.

Warm regards,

The MOS Team

Save Your Energy for Biking !

This is an awesome product.
It makes it so much easier to load your fun toys onto the roof of your car. Loading multiple bikes, kayaks or surf SUPs is now so much easier.
I love it.

Superbe produit et service impeccable.

Produit très bien conçu et facile d’installation. Service impeccable de Joey, le fondateur. Communication facile et amicale. En suivant la recommendation de Joey, j’ai facilement pu installer 2 supports à vélo Thule UpRide sur le MOS. Continuez votre bon travail l’équipe MOS!

Excellent !

Un excellent rack qui a été très bien pensé. J'aime beaucoup qu'on puisse s'en servir pour différents usages, vélo, kayak, boîte de transport, etc. L'assistance pour relever le tout est aussi très apprécié. Solide ! Aucune hésitation à acheter ce produit.

Super pratique

Super pratique pour utilisation de vélo ou ski. C'est un moyen très sécuritaire de ranger son équipement, sans se blesser. Je t'utilise surtout en hiver lorsque mon VUS est plein et que je dois utiliser ma boite de toit. Étant 5 pieds 2, c'est très facile à utiliser !

Mon deuxième

J'ai achater mon première à la fin de l'été 2022 et je l'ai tellement aimé que j'ai acheté un deuxième cette été. Le premier sert principalement pour le transport de mon kayak et sur le deuxième j'ai un coffre de toit. C'est une solution ingénieuse pour les personnes qui ne sont pas très grande comme moi. Facilite ma vie
