Kayak Storage Rack - Factory, Suppliers, Manufacturers

We got this basket because with 4 kids, including 16 month old twins in monstrous car seats, we had very little cargo space left in our minivan. It was not particularly difficult to put together, but did take more than two hands. The directions while not particularly wordy, are sufficient to get the job done. It does take at least two people to get the fully assembled rack up on top of the car without tearing everything up. We have a minivan, so we did use the extension pieces. Attaching the basket to the cross bars wasn't difficult, but did require some measuring and planning. NOTE that you WILL need crossbars of some sort for your vehicle - this item is NOT supposed to sit directly on the roof of your car! I would suggest getting a bungee cargo net, or a rooftop bag to go in the basket. Overall, the basket has worked well for us and enabled us to do take enough luggage to go on a longer trip than we would have been able to otherwise. We are pleased with this purchase.

Assembly instructions not the best but take your time, easy enough to figure out. Only extra I did was to coat the bottom brackets with some rubber shelf padding. I don't like these hit the roof of the car and potentially scratching it. The manufacturer should consider having them pre coated. All parts were in the box and they even threw in a few extra washers. Kayak(s) fit well. Straps hold very well. I just got done putting them together so, I loaded it up and took a drive. Purposely swerved back and forth on the road to try and shake the kayak loose. They didn't budge. I researched many racks and didn't find too many differences between these and others twice their price. These are going to be just fine for my local kayak trips.

Fast shipping, easy assembly. The tilt down feature allows for easy loading of heavier ebikes. Carry's my radrover radcity stepthrough very securely (remove battery to stay below 60 lb per bike). The ability to tilt up when not in use means you can leave it bolted to your vechicle and still fit in the garage. I have carried my bike on it for over 50 miles and very happy with its stability. Highly reccomended. No concerns, half the price of more highly regarded brands.

After alot of online shopping for a bike rack, I settled on this one, and am glad I did. The price point was right for my needs. Assembly and install was fairly easy. It takes a bit of time initially to get it properly adjusted for the size of the bikes to be carried, but once it is set up, its "easy on, easy off" to use. It fits solidly into the hitch, and secures the bikes. You do have to take care to thoroughly tighten every adjusting knob-- my bike fell off the first time I used it, but that was my fault for failing to tighten one knob. Strongly recommend using the provided strap for extra security. Best thing about this is the easy access to the rear hatch on my Subaru Forester. I can leave the rack on all summer, and still easily get into the back of the car.
