Ever have trouble lifting your kayak on to your roof rack? You're not alone - most kayaks take two people to lift up without scratching or banging into your car. Fortunately, the Malone K-Rack provides a neat solution to this issue. The K-Rack is a kayak lift assist that allows you to slide you kayak into place. This eliminates the need to dead lift your kayak overhead. Instead, you can align it with your roof rack and just push it into place!
The K-Rack is a durable plastic frame that has two heavy duty lever-controlled suction cups that allow you to securely fasten it to a window, hatchback, or trunk. The frame of the K-Rack is a unique molded cradle designed to work with most boat profiles. The entire K-Rack (one frame and two suction cups) is small enough to keep stored in a trunk or rear compartment when not in use.
For hatchbacks, SUVs & vans, one K-Rack load assist frame should work just fine for loading your kayak. If you have a sedan or a very tall vehicle, you would need two K-Rack load assist frames. Please note that these K-Racks are sold separately, so if you need two of them, you must choose Qty: 2 from the drop down menu.
Don't let the weight of your boat hold you down. Get a K-Rack lift assist and easily load your kayak by yourself! Depending on your type of car and the size of your kayak you may need 1 or 2 Kayak Lift Assists, so make sure you pick what's right for you at checkout.
*NOTE: Don't let the video confuse you! This comes with one lift assist (with two suction cups) unless you order TWO lift assists (with four suction cups) at checkout.
The K-RACK Kayak Loader taking the effort out of loading your kayak. With a K-RACK, you can load and unload your kayak without assistance or risk of injury. In this video, we will show you how to use the K-RACK on a hatchback or SUV vehicle. Whether you need to load your sea kayak, family sit-on-top kayak, or fishing kayak, the K-RACK is going to help you. The K-RACK comes as a pair. Each K-RACK has two suction cups and a molded frame designed to guide and cradle your kayak while you load and unload from the roof racks. For best attachment, ensure surface area and suction cups are clean. Secure the first K-RACK to the window as shown. Secure the next K-RACK to the roof of the vehicle. It is not recommended to fit to the roof of the hatch door. Ensure K-RACKs are securely fixed before loading kayak. With the kayak positioned alongside the vehicle, take the bow and gently rest it on to the first kayak. Holding on to the kayak so it doesn’t slip, walk down to the stern of the kayak. Lift the stern, guiding the kayak forward to the roof rack. With sit-on-top kayaks, take care not to catch the K-RACK on the scupper holes when loading and unloading the kayak. Once finished, simply release the suction cups and remove the K-RACK before driving away. Remember, next time you want to get it up, get a K-RACK.
