Malone Crossbar Specs

Easy-to-Use Lift Assist Attachment

Lift Assist on vehicletelosxl load assist

The Telos XL lift assist provides a safe and easy way to get your kayak onto your roof by yourself. You'll never need a second pair of hands again! Simply lift your kayak to waist height and set it on the assist cradles. The self-locking, ratcheting cradles prevent your kayak from sliding down the tracks as you push it up. Once your kayak is at the top of the legs, the carrier's built-in loading ramps allow you to push your kayak onto the cradles with ease.


Lift Assisttelosxl load assist in use

The Telos XL lift assist easily detaches from the carrier and collapses so you can store it in your cargo area after your kayak has been loaded. This way you'll have it with you once you're done on the water and ready to load your kayak again for the trip home. The attachment point on the lift assist slides into the cutout on the carrier's loading ramp, and the retractable legs extend down until the feet are level on the ground.


Folding Carrier with Padded Arms and Base

Malone cradleMalone J Folded Down

The Malone DownLoader is a J-style kayak carrier with built-in boarding ramps to make it easier to push your kayak onto your roof by yourself. It holds your kayak on its side to leave plenty of room on your crossbars for another kayak rack, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier. Padding on the arms and base protect your kayak from scratches and scuffs during transport. The arms also fold down when you're not using them to increase overhead clearance for parking.


Load Straps and Bow/Stern Tie-Downs

Bow/Stern Straps Installed

The carrier includes 2 cam-buckle straps and integrated strap holders to secure your kayak to the rack. The strap holders attach to the top of the carrier to keep the straps in place while loading your kayak. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayak to the front and back of your vehicle. If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately) which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.


Tool-Free, Clamp-On Installation

Installation Picture

The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs. Foam covers mounting bolts to protect your kayak from scratches.

  • What Roof Rack and Load Assist Kayak Carrier for a 2016 Nissan Murano
    I believe that you are talking about a 2016 Nissan Murano as I couldn't find anything about a Montero. For factory flush rails I recommend the Thule Evo roof rack system which consists of the following: 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711220 Rapid Podium Feet - # TH460R Fit Kit - # THKIT3141 This will enable you to use a kayak carrier with a lift assist, but unfortunately the Thule Hullavator # TH898 that you're wanting to use isn't listed as a fit for your vehicle. Basically you can't...

  • Kayak Carrier With Load Assist for 2023 Toyota 4Runner
    The Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack w/ Lift Assist and Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL is our only option for a J-style with the load assist. I can tell you we were able to use this on a 2015 4Runner which you can see in the video below but I don't have any information on a lift or the tire size. The load assist is 98-1/4" tall when retracted so you can use that measurement to get a good idea if it will work for your vehicle. You may also want to check out the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898....

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for Flush Mounted Rails on 2014 Lexus GX 460
    We can help you find the parts you're looking for, and really, if you're using a set of crossbars with T-slot mounting paired with accessories that mount in those channels the clearance from the roof won't be a factor. With that said, the Inno kit you mentioned would potentially work, but I do have something that has a bit taller towers to give you some extra clearance from the roof. I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack for 2014 Lexus GX460 using parts # Y00425, # Y00145 and # Y28FR....

  • 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Roof Rack and Kayak Lift Assist Recommendation
    Thanks for reaching out, Carol! What kind of rails do you have on your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee? According to our info there are 3 different types of flush rails: - Matte black - Matt black and gloss black - Black and chrome At the very least you can install the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B on all 3 types as a start to a lift assist, but if you can verify what you have then I can see if there is more of a custom-style for you. One of the most universal lift assist...

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2020 Subaru Ascent with Thule Roof Rack
    The best assisted kayak carrier that would fit the Thule crossbars on your 2020 Subaru Ascent would be the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 which allows you to load the kayaks at about waist level and then push it up onto the roof using the assisted gas shocks of it. It also has a 75 lb capacity so your 72 lb boats would easily work well. The other options you mentioned aren't terrible but since you asked for the best option the Hullavator is what you'd want.

  • Kayak Load Assist Options to Work with Thule J-Style Cradles
    Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out! We have a great selection of kayak load assists, but the only thing remotely close to a winch that I can think of is the Malone Kayak Hoist # MPG346, which is for kayak storage. Since you're already using Thule J-Style cradles I recommend checking out the Rhino-Rack # RR-RUSL or Inno # INA453 which are both universal-style load assist that mount directly to your crossbars. If you need more help than that, we have the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 which...

  • Solution for Carrying 2 Kayaks on 2018 Mazda CX-5 With Factory Roof Rack
    You can use a carrier with load assist like the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG113MD or the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD-351XL with your factory crossbars that do not extend beyond the feet. The problem you have is the lack of space to use two. The best solution for carrying two kayaks on your 2018 Mazda CX-5 would be to use the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH890000. Although it does not have load assist, it will fit on your existing crossbars and...

  • Easily Loading and Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2017 GMC Denali XL
    A roof rack is required first and if you are looking to ease the loading, a lift assist would be important too. The Yukon XL roof weight limit is 150 pounds so that is important in selecting rails, loading 2 kayaks, and their carriers. Yakima makes a solid roof rack option with their 66" roof rack system including parts # Y00410, # Y53TR, # Y03536, # Y00243 A side loading kayak carrier such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 would help you a great deal loading kayaks.

  • Easiest Way To Load Two Kayaks on a 2011 Toyota Sienna
    The best option I have for you to easily load two kayaks on top of your 2011 Toyota Sienna is going to be with the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs part # MPG114MD-351XL and the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG114MD. The reason that this is the best system for you is because it allows for one person, no matter their height or strength to easily load a kayak onto the roof of even the tallest vehicles.

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier that Can Fit Factory Crossbars of 2016 Chevy Traverse
    The Hullavator kayak carrier is really great but it's big drawback is that it can't attach to factory crossbars and requires an aftermarket rack. I tried to find a company that makes an aftermarket rack for your setup but I don't believe there's a way.

  • Can Two Thule Hullavators be Used on 2020 BMW X5 With Thule Roof Rack
    You can use two kayak carriers with load assist on your 2020 BMW X5 with a Thule roof rack, but not two Thule Hullavators. The issue is that the crossbars are not long enough to support two Hullavators, but there are a couple options that will work: Option 1 - Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 & - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL Option 2 - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL & - Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier #...

  • Kayak Carrier, Tie-Downs and Load Assist For a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe to Carry a 66lb. & 81lb. Kayak
    The biggest challenge you are going to face is the weight of your kayaks, mainly the 81 lb. kayak. For instance, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack w/ Lift Assist and Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL does a great job providing a kayak carrier, a way to help load the kayaks on the roof and the bow and stern tie downs for securing the kayaks. But it has a weight limit of 75 lbs. which is enough for your 66 lb. kayak, but not the 81 lb. kayak. Your best option may be the Rhino-Rack Kayak Roof...

  • Does Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier Come with Crossbars for 2018 Toyota RAV4
    The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL that you referenced does not come with a set of crossbars for your 2018 Toyota Rav4 so you would need also a Malone roof rack # MPG216 to fit the raised rails of your vehicle and you'd be set. I attached an install video for this rack on a similar 2018 RAV4 for you to check out as well.

  • Can I Fit 2 Malone Downloaders on Rhino Rack Roof Rack on 2020 Honda CR-V
    The great thing about J-style carriers like the ones included with the Malone Downloader with Telus XL # MPG114MD-351XL (with load assist) or # MPG114MD (without load assist) is that they don't take up a ton of space (17" wide to be exact), so they're the best solution to carry 2 kayaks on a vehicle. In regards to the roof rack kit, the Rhino Rack Roof Rack kit for 2020 Honda CR-V with Naked Roof that uses parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA (towers), # DK284 (fit kit) will provide you with...

  • Is Thule Hullavator Pro Compatible with Yakima JetStream Roof Rack on 2015 Lexus RX 350
    By Yakima 50" streamline I'm guessing you are referring to the 50" JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 with the TimberLine Towers # Y00147 for raised rails on your 2015 Lexus RX 350. This is compatible with the Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 but you do need to make sure that you the crossbars extends 4" - 8" beyond the feet of the roof rack. You can guesstimate this extension by measuring the distance between the outsides of your raised rails. If you don't have this overhang then you may need to...

  • Can I Put Two Hullavators on Pioneer Platform on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
    My main concern is if your Jeep roof has the capacity for this whole set up. Two Hullavators + 150 lbs of kayaks + pioneer platform # JB0893 is a total of 320 lbs. You would also need 60" crossbars bars like # TH711520, or the 'not confirmed fit' 60" platform rack to get sufficient overhang on your Jeep. While I can still put together a list of parts for this system, I do not recommend using two Hullavators mainly due to weight and overhang obstacles. We have other load assist options...

  • Solution for Loading 2 Kayaks on 2018 Toyota 4Runner with 53 Bar Space
    The Thule Hullavator Pro # TH898 requires 28.5" of crossbar space, so you're really going to be hard pressed to fit 2 on them using anything smaller than 60" of crossbar. Because of the limited size of crossbars available for your vehicle, the likely best solution is going to be the Malone DownLoader with Telus Load Assist # MPG114MD-351XL and an additional # MPG114MD to use on the other side of the vehicle. Since the Telus can be swapped between these J-Style carriers, this would provide...

  • How Long Crossbars Needed for Two Hullavators?
    You would need at least 60" long crossbars to carry two Hullavators # TH898 plus very significant roof weight capacity. For your 2020 Subaru Outback, the fitted crossbar length from Thule system is 47" with parts # TH711220, # TH710601, and # TH37CE. Getting 60" bars on your vehicle will have too much overhang which will neither fit the Hullavator nor will be safe. There's other options like the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Kayaks part # MPG461GU which can be pricey, but is so much...

    The answer to your question will depend on how much usable crossbar space is offered by your existing crossbars. If you have about 35 inches of available crossbar space on your roof rack, measured side to side, you would indeed be able to install two of the # MPG114MD Malone Downloader kayak carriers on your vehicle roof. If you don't have that much available width, you could go with longer crossbars such as the # MPG215, also from Malone. You might also be interested in something like...

For this roof you you need the following: 59" Vortex Aero Crossbars - # RRVA150B-2 RLTP Leg Adapters - # RRVA-FK1-2 11" Gutter Mount Legs - # RL280S4-2 Then for a kayak carrier I recommend checking out...
