Malone Crossbar Specs

Folding Upright Posts with Foam Blocks

Malone Posts Up

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).


Malone Post Folded Down

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

Malone Post-Style Carrier Load Straps Installed

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

 Malone Posts Install

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:

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.



by:

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!).



by:

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:

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:

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.



by:

Very helpful with no issues switching mounting plates



by:

Great product, well made and not too expensive. Actually using 2 pairs, side by side to carry 4 kayaks.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier For 2014 Toyota Avalon To Carry 2- 45 Lb Kayaks
    I recommend to use the Inno Aero Crossbars part # INXB130-2 with feet part # INXS250 and fit kit part # INK578. The Inno roof rack can be used on the naked roof with sunroof as long as you don't open the sunroof when the rack is installed to avoid possible damage to the kayak carrier, sunroof and prevent unbearably loud wind noise. For the Kayak carrier, I recommend the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style part # MPG115MD which will allow you to carry the 2 kayaks....

  • Best Set Up For Hauling Three Heavy Kayaks On The CapRack On My 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
    Since you have the Thule CapRac # TH29200XT on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado you only have about 53 inches of crossbar space. 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....

  • 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.

  • Best Honda Odyssey 2012 Roof Rack Option For Carrying Cargo & Kayaks
    If you don't have raised side rails on your 2012 Honda Odyssey, then get these # e99033. They look almost identical to the OEM rails. If you have them already or not, both our rails and the OEM rails will work with a roof rack system like the Malone AirFlow 2 # MPG216. This would pair good with a cargo basket for storage # C18115-117 or a kayak carrier # MPG115MD. I've included videos for you to watch to get an idea of what you're getting!

  • Recommeneded Foam Padding to Use for Kayaks on the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility Trailers
    If 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...

  • Will the Malone Stax Pro2 Fit on Square Crossbars
    Yes. 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.

  • Best Way to Carry Two Kayaks on the Roof of a 2016 Ford Escape
    I do have an option for you but it is very unlikely that you would be able to use two of the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carriers part # MPG107MD side by side on the roof of your 2016 Ford Escape. Instead, I recommend using an upright carrier like the Malone Stax Pro Kayak Carrier part # MPG115MD. This carrier or a similar design will give you the best chance of fitting two kayaks on the roof of your Escape in addition to being much more cost effective. They will however be a little more difficult...

    The SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel # SR1020 has telescoping bars that are adjustable between 80, 83 or 86 inches long. It has 4 roof-rack feet that prmanently bolt to the roof of your pop-up camper and all parts needed for installation are included. They will fit pop-up campers with a maximum width of 85-1/2 inches. The rack will add 3 inches of height to your roof. You can adjust the distance between the crossbars prior to assembly and I recommend centering...

  • Kayak Carrying Recommendations for 2008 Scion xB with Thule Square Bar Roof Rack
    We 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...

  • Recommended Economical Roof Rack System For 2 Kids Kayaks And A Paddle Board On 2014 Subaru Outback
    On your 2014 Subaru Outback, I recommend the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 2 Kayaks # MPG115MD for the most economical option to securely transport your 2 kids kayaks. For your paddle board, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Pad # RRRWP05. This combination will give you everything you need to transport your watersports equipment to the water. The tie-downs are included with each kit.

  • Will Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier Fit Yakima Round Bars

  • Differences Between Rhino Rack Kayak Carrier # RRS520 and Malone Kayak Carrier # MPG115MD
    The 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.

  • Recommended Carrier for Transporting 4 Kayaks on 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    The 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...

  • Will Malone Foam Block Fit 2018 Subaru Impreza Sport with Factory Crossbars
    Yes, the Malone Foam Block # MPG168 that you referenced will fit the aero-style factory crossbars on your 2018 Subaru Impreza. This particular block is designed to be a replacement for one of the blocks included with the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier # MPG115MD.

  • How To Carry 2 Kayaks On 2018 Silverado 2500 While Pulling 5th Wheel Trailer
    You 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...

  • Which Rhino-Rack Crossbars And Legs Fit Leer Camper Shell Tracks?
    You will want to go with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks - 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars - Black - 54" # Y02-480B-NT, or if you want longer bars go with Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Factory Tracks - 2 Vortex Aero Crossbars - Black - 59" # Y02-490B-NT. Both of these will fit the tracks on your Leer shell. You could technically haul your kayaks on the crossbars, but I always recommend adding kayak carriers to aid in safe mounting and transporting of the kayaks. An economical option is to use...

  • Is There a Way to Convert a Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers to Post Style
    I 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...

  • Does the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Carrier Have a Locking Option to Prevent Theft
    Unfortunately 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.

  • Recommended Solution to Carry 3 Kayaks on Ford Expedition
    I have a solution for you, but the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR is only designed to carry a single boat; this carrier will hold up to 2 standup paddle boards, but is limited to a single boat. If your goal is to carry 3 boats on your Expedition and have factory crossbars you may be limited on space, so you'll want to compare the width of the boats combined with the available space on your crossbars. To maximize the available space you'll likely want a post style carrier...

  • 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...

    The Inno Roof Rack, # INXB108-2, and # INXS100 is a good roof rack for your 2014 Kia Sorento LX with the flush mount factory side rails. The kayaks may not fit if you just lay them down side by side on the crossbars, so I recommend using a 2-kayak carrier like the Malone 2 Kayak Carrier, # MPG115MD. This carrier will hold the kayaks on their side and it is compatible with the Inno crossbars. You could also use a post-style carrier like The Stacker, # TH830, from Thule. We have demonstration...

    You could probably get away with using the Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack # DZ951550 for carrying 4 kayaks on your 2014 Ford F-150 5-1/2' bed but the crossbars are a bit different than normal ladder racks so you'll have to get creative on how to get all of your kayaks loaded up and secured since none of our kayak carriers will fit those crossbars. My personal favorite is the Yakima OverHaul HD Adjustable Truck Bed Ladder Rack # Y01151-58 because it is built for people needing a ladder...

    The SportRack semi-custom roof rack # SR1002 will fit a 2008 Toyota Prius 5-door model (4-door and rear hatch which in 2008 I believe they all were). 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...
