Elkhart Plastics Updates YAKport Kayak Launch Entry System

SOUTH BEND, IN — Elkhart Plastics LLC, a Myers Industries, Inc. company (NYSE: MYE), extends the YAKport Kayak Launch accessory options to serve customers better.

The YAKport Kayak Launch makes getting in and out of the water easy. YAKport is a personal paddle sport launch system that works great for not only kayaks but also canoes and paddleboards with a width of 34″. The YAKport attaches to the company’s Connect-A-Dock floating dock series, including the low profile 1000 Series Dock and high profile 2000 Series Dock. It also connects to other floating models and fixed docks.

As an accessory to the YAKport Kayak Launch, Elkhart Plastics offers updated, short rotomolded grab bars constructed of durable, UV-protected polyethylene sold in pairs. Available in tan, light grey, dark grey, blue, and black, the grab bars match the existing YAKport color scheme for a more sleek look. In addition, Elkhart Plastics’ new innovative design incorporates the overhead assist bar with the short grab bars for easier entry into your watersport’s apparatus.

“Elkhart Plastics is excited to offer the new YAKport grab bar design and overhead assist bar. The new rotomolded model enhances the look and functionality of the kayak launch, creating an overall better experience for the user. This product update allows us to better support our customers with reduced cost and lead times,” says Jack Welter, president of Elkhart Plastics.

The YAKport Kayak Launch grab bars are available from dealers across the U.S. and international distributors around the globe. To find a dealer and to learn more about YAKport, visit www.yakport.com.
