Folding Upright Posts with Foam Blocks
The Stax Pro2 is one of the most economical ways to transport 2 kayaks on your roof rack. This post-style carrier stabilizes your boats so you can carry them on their sides. The carrier also utilizes foam blocks that contour to the curve of your kayaks to protect them from scuffs and scratches. And because it carries the boats on their sides, you may have extra space on your roof to carry additional gear if your crossbars are long enough. You can even carry 2 additional kayaks by adding 2 more sets of foam blocks and tie-downs (all sold separately).
When you're not hauling your boats, the posts can be folded down to increase overhead clearance. This reduces the likelihood that you'll have to remove the carrier when you pull into your garage.
Load Straps and Bow/Stern Tie-Downs
This carrier includes 5 cam-buckle straps for a solid hold while you transport your kayaks. Use 4 straps to secure your kayaks to the post and your vehicle's crossbars. For added security, wrap the remaining strap around the middle of both kayaks to secure them to the carrier. A set of bow/stern tie-downs are also included to secure the kayaks 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
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the posts on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.

Needed a rack to haul my kayaks on my jeep patriot and this price was unbeatable. Works well, though I did not like using the foam blocks. Good first rack for new kayakers.
by: Jason S07/18/2019
We needed a carrier solution that folded down easily because of our garage door height. The Malone Pro2 Kayak Carrier has performed flawlessly over the past year. The kayaks remain stable and never shift even at freeway speeds. The foam blocks fit our crossbar well and offered a rattle free ride, which is nice. The one drawback to this system is how difficult it can be to actually route the straps. Without a ladder, it can be nearly impossible to get the strap over the kayak and hooked into the carrier properly. After you find a system that works for you, it becomes easier but I still think that the stationary carriers are more user friendly in that regard.

Ordered and received three products; a Yakima DoubleDown 4 bike rack, a Yakima hitchlock, and a Malone Stax Pro kayak carrier. The website contained a ton of information which allowed me to make an informed decision re which type/model and manufacturer of each item to choose. Ordering was simple and I received the items on the estimated date of delivery. I detected a manufacturing flaw in one of he items, however when I contacted the manufacturer the customer rep immediately shipped me the necessary parts and tools to repair the item. The installation of the rack and carrier was simple, especially having observed the videos on the etrailer website. Thus far we have transported two adult bicycles on the Yakima DoubleDown and the ride was very smooth as if there was no rack or bikes. We have also transported one kayak using the Malone carrier system and like the bike rack, the ride was very smooth and quiet as if there was no 10' kayak on the roof. The bike rack is on our 2015 Subaru Forester and the kayak carrier on our 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. Overall a very good experience and I would highly recommend etrailer and the Yakima DoubleDown and the Malone Staxx kayak carrier system (as well as purchasing the HitchLock to prevent the theft of the rack and bikes!).

This is a one-year anniversary of purchasing the hitch for my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. I've kind of had time to forget how painful it was to crawl around under my car for a couple of hours, struggling to tighten the last bolt. But now it all feels worth it. I got a solid hitch that looks great and works great for way less than I would have if I had the dealer install it. Worth some discomfort lying on the ground cursing tight spaces on the underside of my car.
by: Karl Shuffler09/09/2020
I have had these for 1 year now and have used them several times. They have worked exactly as advertised. Keeps my kayaks secure and once you have the process of mounting down it is pretty easy. Nice product.
by: Liam 06/25/2021
Fit well onto my crossbars. Included everything you need to be able to use it right out of the box. I prefer the versatility of the post style over the cradles. Seems like solid construction that I anticipate lasting.

- Is There a Way to Convert a Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers to Post StyleI do have an option for you, but we do not have a conversion kit for your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR. But, you can use the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD. This will provide you with a post style carrier that will clamp onto the crossbars of your EcoLight trailer. The foam pads will fit around your bars to provide some cushion and protection for the kayaks. You can add additional foam blocks # MPG168 (x2) and tie-downs # MPG306...

That said, it doesn't actually come with any kayak carriers pre-installed but we have have plenty for you to choose from. The Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier part # MPG115MD for example is an excellent option for this that attach to the pre-installed crossbars.

view full answer... - Recommendation of Kayak Carrier to Carry 2 Kayaks on 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe With Side RailsAnytime you are going to haul cargo on the roof of your 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe you will want to check the owners manual or with the Hyundai dealer for what the roof capacity is for your vehicle. The roof capacity will let you know how many pounds you will be able to haul on the roof of your vehicle. To install a kayak carrier to the roof of your Santa Fe you will need crossbars that will run from side to side. If your Santa Fe has the flush mount rails that run from front to back, you...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrying Recommendations for 2008 Scion xB with Thule Square Bar Roof RackWe have exactly what you're needing. I'd recommend the etrailer.com Folding Universal Mount J-style Kayak Carrier, part # e98878. This carrier includes everything you'll need, the tie down straps, the bow/stern tie downs and the anchor straps that can be shut in the rear hatch and the front of the hood to eliminate the need for hooks. These carriers are sold individually, so for both kayaks you'd need two of them. Or, a lower cost alternative would be a single carrier that would hold the...
view full answer... - Differences Between Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier # RRS520 and Malone Kayak Carrier # MPG115MDThe Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier part # RRS520 and the Malone Stax kayak carrier part # MPG115MD are both very similar but the big reason the Malone is listed for only 2 kayaks is because it comes with two foam blocks for kayaks to rest on and then the Rhino Rack does not come with the blocks so it's possible to add additional kayaks without carrying them in a different way. Either will work great on a Malone roof rack as well.
view full answer... - Recommeneded Foam Padding to Use for Kayaks on the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility TrailersIf you want to use foam blocks to secure your kayaks to the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit # MPG493 then I recommend using the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier # MPG115MD which comes with foam blocks plus an upright for a quick and easy way to strap your kayaks down. You should be able to cut down the uprights to a different size if you like but you need to make sure they are all the exact same height. Malone doesn't have a set install/removal time but it shouldn't take too long if you leave...
view full answer... - How To Carry 2 Kayaks On 2018 Silverado 2500 While Pulling 5th Wheel TrailerYou will first need a roof rack on your 2018 Silverado 2500 single cab (work truck). I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Round Bars - 48" # 298-SX6000B. Then you will need a kayak carrier such as Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD which can accommodate 2 kayaks. This may work for you without anything else, but since you won't be able to extend the kayaks over the bed, the kayaks may overhang over the front of the truck too much. To solve this, I recommend...

With that being said, the safest way to go with guaranteeing a fit of kayak mounts on 2-inch lumber rack pipes is the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 2 Kayaks # MPG115MD. This will work best as far as the compatability with your lumber rack pipes because the Stax Pro2 foam blocks simply attach and clamp onto the bars. In order to clamp around the bars, I confirmed with Malone...

The Malone Stax Pro2 # MPG115MD is designed to fit on a variety of crossbar shapes, including the square bars of the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel - 50" Long # MPG201. I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Carrier for Transporting 4 Kayaks on 2017 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedThe Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier # MPG115MD lists a 2 kayak capacity as determined by the manufacturer. You could technically add another kayak on each side of the posts by using some additional Foam Blocks # MPG168 but this hasn't been tested so I don't recommend doing this. As you mentioned this particular carrier features a 50 pound capacity per boat anyway so it would not work for your application. Your best option is going to be with the Thule Stacker # TH830, which features the...
view full answer... - What Attachments Can I Use For The Malone Airflow 2?If you're using the Malone AirFlow 2 # MPG215 you can use any T-Slot attachments from Malone like this Stax Pro2 # MPG115MD Kayak Carrier, and any wrap around accessories like this Pilot # MPG2103 bike rack, this cargo box # Y07337 or this basket # C18115-117. I've included videos for all of these items so you can see how they install and function!
view full answer... - Does the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier Have a Locking Option to Prevent TheftUnfortunately there is no option available that allows you to lock your Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD to your crossbars. Ideally the weight of your kayaks on top of the carrier would be enough of theft deterrent, however what you can do is whenever you take the kayaks off, just pop those off as well and toss them in your car. Not an ideal situation I understand, but with these not having a locking option it's really the only option you have.
view full answer... - Does Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier MPG115MD Fit 2021 Subaru Outback?The Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD would work well if you have crossbars running left to right across your roof. If you just have the factory rails on your 2021 Subaru Outback then you will want to first install some crossbars. If you have flush-mounted rails then I would go with Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Silver - 47" # TH711200, Feet # TH460R, and Fit Kit # THKIT4063. If you have raised roof rails then you could go with Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack 58" Crossbars...

To carry 2 kayaks on their sides and tie them off to one carrier I recommend carrier # MPG115MD. If you want each kayak to have its own carrier I recommend using 2 J-style carriers # SR5511. There isn't really enough space on the roof to carry the kayaks hull down and side by side. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Toyota...

This roof rack only has a weight capacity of 88lbs so I recommend installing a lightweight kayak carrier setup such as Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs 2 Kayaks # MPG115MD. This kit only weighs 8lbs total, leaving you with 80lbs that can be added to the roof rack which should be enough for 2 standard kayaks. The maximum boat width allows...
view full answer... - Best Ways to Add a 2 Kayak Carrier to a 2017 Ford Escape RoofPrimarily, this depends on how you plan to carry the weight of the kayaks. The 2014 Ford Escape is rated for a maximum recommended load of 100lbs on the vehicle if it does not have a moon roof, and 40lbs if it does. This puts quite a cap on the amount of weight that the vehicle can carry, as this limit includes any carrier and crossbar solution that you are planning on using, plus the weight of the kayaks. You'll want to invest in a full roof rack system. Primarily, the ease of this...

The most economical way to safely haul your 4 kayaks is to use 2 of the Malone Stax Pro 2-Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD. This will attach to your ladder rack's square bars and provide a foam platform for your kaysk; tie-down straps are included. While the method above will work well, I think the best option...

But the kayak carrier solutions that fit into the top channel of crossbars like the Rhino Rack Nautic 580 # RR580 will work so this would be your best solution. We do have one foam block solution that can fit around the TracRac load bars with the part...

Since your kayaks are about 94 inches wide collectively, you will need to a J-Style or post style carrier. Most post style carriers are not strong enough to carry your heavier kayaks and I recommend getting a carrier that will carry two kayaks like this Rhino Rack option # S512-S512X.This will be more cost effective since you won't have to buy three separate racks....
