The SportRack SR5511 "J" Stacking Kayak Carrier is a kayak stowage option that allows boats of various hull types to be loaded and unloaded easily from the side of vehicles.
Compatible with virtually any roof rack configuration featuring crossbars, even those found on small vehicles, the carrier offers a stable kayak transport solution that allows you to lift the boat into place from the side of a vehicle.
The SportRack SR5511 "J" Stacking Kayak Carrier features a stable design, consisting of two "J" shaped stacking elements, two heavy-duty side tie-down straps, and tie-downs for the bow and stern of your boat.
The stacking elements connect to roof rack crossbars in seconds using a combination of bolts and knobs.
The hold is secure and allows for adjustment along the roof rack when using additional roof rack accessories.
To load kayaks, 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.
The "J" design requires no adjusting, and rubberized contact points protect boat exteriors.
Each set of two "J" stacking kayak elements is designed to transport a single kayak, up to 75 lbs, and up to 17 feet in length.
Multiple SportRack SR5511 carriers can be mounted on a single rack, assuming available space and that the total weight applied to the rack is within its capacity.
When not in use, stacking "J" elements of the carrier can be quickly removed and stored in vehicles.
Optional cable locks and/or locking straps can be used to secure the carrier to a rack and secure kayaks to the carrier.
