From the Manufacturer The SportRack SR5513 Folding Kayak Carrier is a unique kayak stowage option that allows for easy loading and unloading of boats at the side of the vehicle roof rack, and functionality to fold down when not in use.
It can be used with a variety of kayak types and is compatible with virtually any roof rack configuration featuring crossbars - even those commonly found on small vehicles.
The stable and aerodynamic kayak transport solution allows you to place the boat into position from the side of a vehicle.
View larger Dependable Side Loading Supports That Fold Down When Not in Use The SportRack SR5513 Folding Kayak Carrier features a simple and exceptionally stable design, consisting of two adjustable "J" shaped support elements, two heavy-duty side tie-down straps, and tie-downs for the bow and stern of your boat.
Non-slip knobs provide functionality to fold down easily when not in use.

View larger The support elements connect to roof rack crossbars in seconds using quick on/off hardware.
The resulting hold is secure and allows for easy adjustment along the roof rack when using additional roof rack accessories.
To load kayaks, simply lift them into place, with the cockpit pointed out.
The three rubberized contact points of the carrier elements protect the exterior of kayaks from incidental damage and hold them in place as they are secured.
Kayaks are cinched between the tops of the stacking elements and rack crossbars using side tie-down straps.
Bow and stern straps secure the kayak at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Each set of two SportRack SR5513 Folding Kayak Carrier elements is designed to transport a single kayak, up to 75 lbs, and up to 36" wide.
Multiple SportRack SR5513 carriers can be mounted on a single roof rack, assuming available space and that the total weight applied to the rack is within its capacity.
When not in use, support elements of the carrier can be quickly folded down into an aerodynamic position using dual non-slip knobs.
This provides for improved clearance and fuel economy.
Carrier support elements can also be quickly removed entirely and stored in vehicles.
Optional cable locks and/or locking straps (sold separately) can be used to secure the carrier to a rack and secure kayaks to the carrier.
