The Channel Loader is an incredibly simple to use kayak loader that works with nearly any vehicle and fits most boat hull configurations. The design includes an extra tall frame that reaches over most spoilers, and a narrow footprint to allow loading of 2 kayaks on the vehicle's rooftop. Other features include an over-sized 10" wide conical roller to improve boat control and a 3-position adjustment system to match any angular loading requirement. The heavy-duty toggle activated vacuum cups have non-marking pads that protect the vehicle's sheet metal from abrasion. Stores in the trunk or hatch when not in use. Includes a limited lifetime warranty.
Note: For sedan style vehicles, 2 individual Channel Loaders are recommended.

High quality & easy to use. It is now much easier to roll the kayak up on the roof rack AND keep it straight with conical shaped rubber roller
When it stays attached to the window, it works great. Unfortunately, that is probably half the time. We've found that we need to find the flat spot on the window. Any bit of curvature in the window and the kayak load will disconnect while the kayak is being loaded or unloaded.
The product was reasonably priced. It was delivered in a timely fashion. I am thrilled with this particular product ( Malone Channel Loader Kayak Load Assist ). It works well on my 2018 Honda Crv providing ease of loading for my 14 foot Delta Kayak.
Solid product, does the job. The rollers make pushing kayak to rack on or Highlander manageable for one person. The suction pads hold to window and easily clears the spoiler.
Exactly what I needed, excellent value, very good quality, fair price.
These work perfectly to get this 65 year old woman’s Hobie Kayak on top of her Outback, all by herself!!
I was concerned that the suction cups would not hold on my slightly curved back window (Volvo xc70), but they worked great. Used to load a 100 pound 20 foot kayak onto roof racks. Roller works smoothly. Just what I needed to clear the rear gate spoiler.
This roller works great and is a lifesaver when getting kayaks up on the roof of our SUV. It may take a few tries to get the suction cups to attach due to the curvature of the back window, but when its on correctly, it holds firm.
Looks good. Haven’t had a chance to use yet but looks like it’s going to make loading and unloading my kayak so much easier!
The Malone load assist works really well. I wasn't sure untilI tried it - I am 71 and wrestling my rowing scull to the car top carrier is getting more challenging each year. Worked like a charm - dead simple.
I love the kayak assist device, I can get my kayak on and off my car easily without any help!
Great product. I found that if you drive off with it still attached to your car window, it will still be there when you stop. Works well with even a whitewater boat, but because of the flatter bottom youjust have to be careful keeping on center when loading/unloading. I like it so much, I just bought a 2nd one.
Easy to fit and use, should protect our car and our kayaks from inadvertent damage.
quality product, fast service, fair price, +A
Hold tight to the back glass as I'm loading and unloading the heavy kayak. Perfect for me.
Used it on my truck topper to load my Hobi - it's working.
Very useful. Quick ship. Great follow up.
This was a game changer for me. I needed to be able to load and unload my kayak by myself. So easy to use, quick and easy!

I can now load my 14' tandem kayak by myself. Excellent product.
The price was good
Love it. Fishing Kayak = 100lbs; this makes loading on tall SUV much easier!
Great

The Malone rolling loader itself still works well, but by now I wish it were at least 6 inches wider. More than once my kayak has slipped sideways while being pushed up and fell on the ground.
