Hey Roman! The Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit #MPG475 is designed to be added to a utility trailer. You can probably get this work with your EcoLight #MAL53FR but it isn't necessary. What you can do instead is trade out your existing 58"…
As you can see in the diagram I provided, the tilt is adjustable up to about 45°. The tilt mechanism has a pin that can be used in two different positions to allow a roughly 15 or 30° degree tilt or the pin can be completely removed for the…
Hey Marie, sure can! To haul kayaks with your 2024 Subaru Outback you will need to install a roof rack with crossbars. If you already have one, perfect. Just let me know the brand and approximate length of crossbar. If you do not have crossbars…
Hey Chaz, thanks for the information. The Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs item #S65145 is 28" wide. It has a 100 lbs weight capacity. You will want to make sure your crossbars are spread out a minimum of 24" on your…
The main difference between the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier #LR54FR & the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier #LR24VR is going to be the adjustable base range. The #LR24VR has an adjustable base range of 19-11/16" to…
There is not a general restriction from Thule that says two Hullavator Kayak Carriers #TH898 can't be used on a Thule roof rack. As long as the crossbars on your Ford Escape have the required length for two sets and a sufficient weight capacity…
Hey Steve, the longer crossbars part #MPG4001 can be used on the Ecolight trailer part #MAL53FR if you wanted as they are the same dimensions aside from length. This would give you the 78 inch long crossbars.
Thank you for providing pictures and measurements. Both the Thule SUP and Surfboard Pads #TH846000 and the Yakima Crossbar Pads #Y07413 will not work with the dimensions you provided. However, I do have an option for you. - Rhino-Rack SUP and…
Hey there Monica; unfortunately not - your 2024 Subaru Forester will only be able to fit one Yakima ShowDown Kayak Carrier #Y04081. It's just too wide to fit a pair of them. You can still use the ShowDown but for two kayaks you'd need a…
Can you send me a picture of your Jeep's factory crossbars? Or if you can send the picture with the DownLoader on the bars showing how it doesn't fit. We haven't had the chance to install the carrier on a Cherokee yet so I'm not sure…
Effortless Kayak Loading with Rear Load Assist Carriers
Discover the ease of loading your kayak solo with rear loading watersport carriers featuring load assist. Perfect for enthusiasts with larger kayaks, these carriers simplify the process, ensuring stability and ease of use. Ideal for those with square crossbars or hitch-mounted setups.
The load assist feature makes it a breeze to load kayaks solo, especially larger ones. It reduces the effort needed to lift and position the kayak, allowing for a smooth transition onto the vehicle. This is particularly useful for those with square crossbars or hitch-mounted systems, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
Consider the compatibility with your vehicle's crossbars or hitch size. Ensure the load assist mechanism is covered with non-marking material to prevent streaks on your kayak. Adjustability is key for different kayak sizes, and a secure fit is crucial for safe transport.
These carriers are versatile and can handle a range of kayak sizes, from small singles to larger doubles. However, it's important to check the weight capacity and ensure the brackets are sturdy enough to support your specific kayak model, especially for heavier options.
They allow you to load and unload your kayak without assistance, thanks to features like rollers and spring-loaded mechanisms. This setup lets you position the kayak at an angle, making it easier to slide onto the vehicle, reducing strain and effort.
Some carriers may leave marks on kayaks; using protective wraps like Velcro can prevent this. Ensure the carrier is properly adjusted to avoid spreading brackets under weight. Regularly check the stability and fit to maintain a secure hold during transport.
