I got this to help load my kayaks. As of now me and wife were able to load with some difficulty, but we know we're getting older and help would be nice.
This is just that, a great help! It's well built and etrailer has the best price, and delivery was fast with no damage!

I lam not the brut of my youth these make life ez to have fun



by:

This is an ingenious system for loading a kayak on top of a tall car such as our minivan. We were able to use it the first time out without difficulty. A nice alternative to the much more expensive Thule Hullivator. The required kayak carriers can be folded so we can still put the car in the garage, which would not have been possible with the Hullivator. . In addition, we were able to use it with our current roof rack. No need to buy a new one. The verdict is out on how durable it will be over time but we are pleased with the initial use of it.



by:

Exactly what a old lady needs to load a 10foot kayak.



by:

I think the Telos XL Load Assist works fine but the Kayak I purchased was 74 lbs and 34 inches wide so it just did not fit the Malone J-Style Kayak Carriers. I never used this product but it seems to be of very good quality.



by:

Needed something that would help me load our kayaks on top of my pickup. After much research went with the Telox XL coupled with the Malone Sea Wings. This combo is great. A lot less effort then lifting and sliding the yaks from the tailgate. Good investment.



by:

Telos XL loader came today, even tho my projected reception was in september. It makes it a lot easier to get my kayak on the roof of my Yukon, which probably will translate to more kayaking. Thanks for prompt service and good products!



by:

Little bit of a learning curve to figure out the best way to use the load assist.



by:

Ordered it on a Wednesday, was on my doorstep the next day.



by:

The quality is good, will have more to say when I use it. The service from etrailer is the best. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.



by:

They broke the second time they were used in a design flaw and as a result we had much less kayak time in our 2022 Alaska adventure. We were hugely disappointed and with no cell or WIFI signal out in the bush, we could not report this within the time for a refund or replacement from manufacturer.

I am so sorry to hear that Evan! Malone does offer a limited lifetime warranty on these parts. I sent your information to customer service for assistance.



by:

Excelent product. At our age, it Will allow us to continue kayaking for many more years.



by:

Really well made - a bit heavy but confidence building for hoisting a 67 kayak.

Works very well.

The order shipped quicker than expected, the communication was excellant and the product was as described and priced competitive. Thank you!

  • What Load Assist For Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier
    Hey Richard, We do have a kayak assist you can use with the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier # Y04073, though the Telos XL you mentioned will not. Reason is it has a device on the end that notches into slots on Malone carriers, and the JayLow doesn't have that. What you can use that can work, albeit a bit differently, is the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453. This clamps onto your crossbars and has an arm that swings out to give you leverage to lift the boat into position. This is the...

  • Can Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks be Used to Haul Longer Kayaks on 2018 F-250
    Yes, the Cantilever Extension for Thule Ladder Racks # TH24001XT will work great for hauling longer kayaks with your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. This works great with the TracRac G2, TracONE, and T-Rac Pro2 ladder racks. If you let me know what bed length you have on your truck I can recommend one of these ladder racks if you don't already have one. If you don't already have kayak carriers I recommend checking out the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD. This will fit into the T-Slots of the...

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation Over Malone Telos
    The Telos part # MPG351XL that you referenced can only be used with the Malone Downloader carrier part # MPG114MD. Now that said if you are going to spend that type of money I'd much rather recommend you the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 as it works much better and is easier to use as well. Check out the review video I attached for this for you to check out as well.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Work with the Factory Crossbars of a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
    I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the factory crossbars on a 2019 Volkswagen Factory do not extend past the feet. The Hullavator, part # TH898, requires 4" - 8" extension past the feet, so you won't be able to use this. Instead, you'll have to use a kayak carrier that does not need an extension. I recommend the Malone DownLoader, part # MPG114MD. It's a J-styel carrier that is compatible with the Malone Telos XL Load Assist, part # MPG351XL. It's a load assist with...

  • Will Malone DownLoader Fit Aero Crossbars on a 2014 Subaru Forester
    The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG114MD is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so it should fit the aero style crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Forester. The Malone AirFlow2 crossbars are 3" wide x 1" tall and the DownLoader will fit this so you can use these dimensions as a reference plus if you have the T-slots on your crossbars you can use the Fit Kit # MPG8287 and not have to worry about the clamps fitting at all. If you can...

  • Can Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier be Used with Malone Telos XL Load Assist
    Hey Martin, so you did your homework on this but yes you can use the Telos lift assist part # MPG351XL with your Yakima JayLow kayak carrier as long as you also get the universal roof rack adapter part # MAL95VR. This adapter would give you the additional length needed to get over the side of your rack since it's an OEM set of crossbars.

  • What Load Assist Can be Used with Thule J-Style Kayak Carrier
    For use with your Thule J-style kayak carriers we have the Rhino Rack load assist part # RR-RUSL that will work great and make loading the kayaks easier, but the Malone Telos XL Load Assist part # MPG351XL that you referenced only can be used on the Malone carrier # MPG114MD. The Rhino Rack # RR-RUSL allows you to lean the kayak on it and then lift bottom up and in doing so brings the kayak to the same height of the crossbars which will make sliding the boat onto the carrier easy. I...

  • What Kayak Carrier and Load Assist do You Recommend for My 2018 Honda Pilot with Factory Crossbars?
    Thanks so much for providing photos of your factory crossbars on your 2018 Honda Pilot. Unfortunately, with these flush-style factory crossbars, you will not be able to use the Thule Hullavator # TH898 on your roof. This is because the Hullavator requires at least 4 inches of additional crossbar length after the crossbar feet in order to function properly. I went ahead and attached a diagram of this measurement to give you perspective. Also, even if you could mount 2 Thule Hullavators with...

  • Recommended Way To Carry Two Kayaks on a 2019 Subaru Outback
    The best way to carry two kayaks on the roof of your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon would be with two sets of j-style carriers. For this, I recommend the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD (2) which has folding uprights that you can lay flat while no kayaks are attached and you can add the Telos XL Load Assist part # MPG351XL if you need help loading the kayaks. The reason you will want to use a set of j-style carriers is because they will be the easiest to load and take your kayaks...

  • What Kayak Carriers Does Malone TelosXL Assist Fit
    The Telos XL part # MPG351XL is designed to fit into slots that are on the end of the Malone kayak carriers like the # MPG114MD . But you can use it with a Thule carrier if you also went with the # MAL95VR.

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2020 Mazda CX-5
    The only hitch mounted option wouldn't be an actual carrier, but a support like the Malone Axis # MAL32VR. This would require the installation of a trailer hitch like the # 76138 you looked at. More than likely you won't need this to mount your kayaks on your 2020 Mazda CX-5. Your kayaks will fit completely on a roof rack with a kayak carrier like the one seen in the picture below unless they are incredibly long. If that is the case, then by all means you could add the # MAL32VR to help...

  • Rear-Load and Side-Load Assisted Kayak Carrier for Use on 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon Factory Bars
    We have a number of load-assisted kayak carriers, some side-loading such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 and others rear-loading. For use on the factory crossbars of your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend a rear-loading carrier. For what its worth, I am a kayaker and I find a rear-loader easier. I think the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082-2 offers an excellent combination of convenience and value for your dollar in a rear-loading roller-style carrier. This system...

  • Will Telos XL Load Assist Work With etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier
    You'll need an adapter, but yes, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 is compatible with the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL. What you will need to add is the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit for Malone Telos XL Load Assist # MAL95VR. The adapter will attach to the crossbars and be what you attach the load assist to instead of the kayak carriers.

  • Is There a Load Assist Option for Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Roof Rack
    I do have an option for you but there's not much you can do load assist wise for the setup you have now, the Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Roof Rack part # MAL98FR. The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL is probably your best option but in order to use them you'd likely need a new set of j-style cradles, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack part # MPG114MD. In a lot of cases, you can get away without new j-style cradles using the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit for...

  • Kayak Carrier to Fit With Malone TelosXL Load Assist
    Yes, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL kit includes 2 different kits; the TelosXL Load Assist # MPG351XL and the Kayak Rack # MPG114MD, so you can definitely get the kayak carrier separately.

  • Recommended Two Kayak Lift-Assisted Roof Rack System for 2017 Mercedes GLS450 with Side Rails
    I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack - Aluminum # TH7503-TH7503 as a roof rack system for your kayaks. It's a great sturdy system, and the main perks of this roof rack is how low-profile and quiet it is so you can leave it and go about your normal daily routine. You won't have to worry about wind noise which can be a common issue with other roof racks. This also comes in Black # TH7503B-TH7503B and I attached a video so you can see the install process. For kayak racks, while...

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist Work With Factory Crossbars On a Toyota RAV4
    If you need help loading a kayak on your 2019 Toyota RAV4 with a factory roof rack then I do have an option for you but none of the side load assist arms we carry that attach to the crossbars which includes the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist part # RR-RUSL will work with factory crossbars as it requires an overhang. The overhang means the crossbars extend out past the mounting feet which is rarely the case for a factory roof rack. Instead, the only other option we have for you that will...

  • Recommended Load Assist For Loading Heavy Kayak Onto etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier 2017 Mazda CX-5
    I recommend looking at the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL for help loading your Kayaks onto the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878. You will need the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit # MAL95VR to use the load assist. This will allow you to more easily raise and lower your kayak on and off your 2017 Mazda CX-5. The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist # MPG113MD are designed to be used together and I do not feel that you will have enough room for the 2nd kayak.

  • Max Roof Height for Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers
    The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL can be adjusted up to a height of 98-1/4" long. If the roof rack on the vehicle sits higher than this then it would not work without additional props to support the legs such as the Stackers Leveling Blocks part # A10-0916. Unfortunately, there are no extended legs which offer more height so in which case you'd need to consider another style of load assist like the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist part...

Then, in order to secure the kayaks you'll need to do so on their side.

  • Using 2 Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers On Top Of A 2015 Subaru Outback
    Thule requires a few things to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898. You need crossbars with adequate overhang so the carrier doesn't make contact with the vehicle. Crossbars that hang over the legs by 4" - 8"are needed and that would be on each side to accommodate 2 Hullavators. The other requirement is that you need 24-28" between the front and rear crossbars. But really the biggest limiting factor here is probably going...
