This load bar kit lets you add overhead load space to your trailer for hauling kayaks, canoes, or other similarly sized equipment. Full-length, steel crossbars maximize space for clamp-on accessories. Bolt-on installation with included hardware.I ordered this kit on May 29th, and received it on June 6th. I'm installing it on a 5'x8' Carry-On Utility Trailer to store canoes and kayaks. The box was slightly torn upon delivery. When opened, it was missing all the hardware! I called etrailer.com customer service right away and they were very nice after I was able to speak with someone. They are going to contact Malone to send me the hardware. We'll see how it goes. I'll provide an updated review when everything is resolved. It's kind of strange that another reviewer had the same issue. Hope the hardware comes before our camping trip!
Install was easy, worked great. It's wide enough to hold 2 canoes. My trailer already had plywood walls added, but that wasnt a problem. Some strategically drilled holes in the plywood, and it was good.
Feedback for the manufacturer:
The unnecessary 2nd hold at the top of the uprights will be a nesting location for wasps. Please stop adding that hole or provide plugs for the extra holes.
Received the box torn opened missing 12 parts in total each of the 4 brackets needed to attach everything to the trailer. Sent an email to two people at the company as of now I have a $xxx paperweight
High quality components and everything fit my trailer. Perfect addition to expand what I can do with the trailer.
Its not a one size fits all. Most people who purchase will need to make modifications so it will fit. My trailer is made out of 1.5 inch angle and the angled u-bolts were too large. I ran out of threads before the brackets tightened properly. I had to make spacers in order for it to work. If the angled u-bots were threaded farther back, it may have worked. I decided to make spacers rather than cutting more threads. The hardware is cheap. The brackets do you quality inconsistencies. The idea is great and will work after modifications. Quality control needs to be in place to correct the inconsistencies. I think its expensive for what you get and the mods required for it to fit.
Well designed and made considering the different builds of trailers this kit is made to fit. Overall pleased with my purchase. The only criticism I can think of is that’s it’s heavier than I thought it would be (I tow with a subcompact car and therefore weight is critical). I am personally curious to know if making this product from aluminum would raise the price too much. I installed mine on a 4’x6’ Carry On (Lowe’s) utility trailer.
Fairly easy to put together and seems solid. I have used it twice with no issues. It does not fit the Lowes Utility Trailer 4x6 without modding the steel plates that screw into the frame. The Lowes trailer's side rails are too short to work with the unmodified steel plates that ship with the kit.
Universal and durable ladder rack system. I would purchase again if needed.
Worked like they said it would great pr oducts
Cut it to fit my trailer to accommodate my specific height and width limitations and couldn't be happier.
Parts arrived on time per ETA provided. Parts are in good shape and exactly as expected.
Very well made and sturdy. Bought for a 5x8 trailer to carry kayaks, easy install, clear instructions. Took less than an hour to install.
Very sturdy, well built.
I converted my 5 X 10 utility trailer into a kayak trailer & your product worked as advertised! I am very pleased with my purchase & will continue ordering from your site in the future!
Easy to set up. Quality build. Adds a whole other dimension literally. Would recommend to anyone needing to increase storage on a light trailer.
Works great.
it was easy to install, and the product has exceeded my expectations
Great product!
