Side loading lift assist helps you load a kayak onto your roof rack carrier from waist level. Detachable arms clip into compatible carriers in seconds. Ratcheting cradles keep boat from sliding down as you raise it vertically along tracks.by: Neil04/15/2022
I got this to help load my kayaks. As of now me and wife were able to load with some difficulty, but we know we're getting older and help would be nice.
This is just that, a great help! It's well built and etrailer has the best price, and delivery was fast with no damage!

They broke the second time they were used in a design flaw and as a result we had much less kayak time in our 2022 Alaska adventure. We were hugely disappointed and with no cell or WIFI signal out in the bush, we could not report this within the time for a refund or replacement from manufacturer.

I am so sorry to hear that Evan! Malone does offer a limited lifetime warranty on these parts. I sent your information to customer service for assistance.

Telos XL loader came today, even tho my projected reception was in september. It makes it a lot easier to get my kayak on the roof of my Yukon, which probably will translate to more kayaking. Thanks for prompt service and good products!

This is an ingenious system for loading a kayak on top of a tall car such as our minivan. We were able to use it the first time out without difficulty. A nice alternative to the much more expensive Thule Hullivator. The required kayak carriers can be folded so we can still put the car in the garage, which would not have been possible with the Hullivator. . In addition, we were able to use it with our current roof rack. No need to buy a new one. The verdict is out on how durable it will be over time but we are pleased with the initial use of it.

Needed something that would help me load our kayaks on top of my pickup. After much research went with the Telox XL coupled with the Malone Sea Wings. This combo is great. A lot less effort then lifting and sliding the yaks from the tailgate. Good investment.
by: Michael08/19/2021
I think the Telos XL Load Assist works fine but the Kayak I purchased was 74 lbs and 34 inches wide so it just did not fit the Malone J-Style Kayak Carriers. I never used this product but it seems to be of very good quality.

Works well
by: Robin 09/17/2022
Excelent product. At our age, it Will allow us to continue kayaking for many more years.
by: Gregory04/23/2022
Little bit of a learning curve to figure out the best way to use the load assist.
by: Kay 09/10/2022
The order shipped quicker than expected, the communication was excellant and the product was as described and priced competitive. Thank you!

Works very well.

The quality is good, will have more to say when I use it. The service from etrailer is the best. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Ordered it on a Wednesday, was on my doorstep the next day.

Really well made - a bit heavy but confidence building for hoisting a 67 kayak.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Accessories and Parts
- Availability of the Regular Malone Load Assist for J-Style Kayak CarriersThe Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module # MPG351XL actually replaced the regular Malone Load Assist (part MPG351) which is now discontinued. Since this is the case you will want to use the TelosXL.
view full answer... - How Many Sets of Malone Telos XL Load Assists Are Needed for Two Kayaks The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL would only require one set to load two kayaks since you would simply load one side using them and then just bring them with you to the other side to load your other kayak. They are not permanently attached to the kayak or carrier.
view full answer... - Recommended Load assist for Thule J Bar Kayak Racks When it comes to adding a load assist to make it easier on loading up your kayaks The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers - Side Loading # MPG351XL will work for you. The side loading lift assist helps you load a kayak onto your roof rack carrier from waist level. It has detachable arms that clip into compatible carriers in seconds. The Load Assist weighs 19 pounds. It has foam padding on the cradles that protect your hull from scratches and abrasions. It has a compact design...
view full answer... - Will Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier Fit on OEM 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Roof RackYes, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD will fit the OEM crossbars on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. One of the best features of the DownLoader is the ability to use the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL with it. The Telos XL is actually paired with the DownLoader with part # MPG114MD-351XL. Since you are planning on using 2 of the DownLoader carriers you can use parts # MPG114MD-351XL and # MPG114MD to get 2 DownLoaders and 1 set of the load assist. Attached are some review videos...
view full answer... - Will the Malone Downloader Kayak Carrier Fit My Factory Crossbars on My 2014 Subaru Forester?The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG114MD is designed to fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so it should fit the aero style crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Forester. The Malone AirFlow2 crossbars are 3" wide x 1" tall and the DownLoader will fit this so you can use these dimensions as a reference. Plus, if you have the T-slots on your crossbars you can use the Fit Kit # MPG8287 and not have to worry about the clamps fitting at all. One of the...
view full answer... - Will 2 Sets of Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier Fit OEM Crossbars on a 2012 Toyota SiennaInstalling 2 of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier # MPG114MD on your 2012 Toyota Sienna is definitely possible. When in the upright position these measure 17" long but you'll be taking a bit of that length away because you will be able to put the end with the loading ramp over the ends of your crossbar system. Even though you can fit 2 sets of the DownLoader on your Sienna it would still be worth mapping out the distance and try holding your kayaks at an angle inside that length. If...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier to Fit With Malone TelosXL Load AssistYes, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier and TelosXL Load Assist w/ Tie-Downs # MPG114MD-351XL kit includes 2 different kits; the TelosXL Load Assist # MPG351XL and the Kayak Rack # MPG114MD, so you can definitely get the kayak carrier separately.
view full answer... - Will two of the Malone Downloaders work on my 2015 Honda CRV with Being Able to use the Telos XLYes the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs part # MPG114MD will workout fine putting one on one side and one on the other. With this setup you will be able to use just one of the Telos XL Load Assist for Malone J-Style Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL to load up both boats. Simply load one move the Telos to the other side repeat the same process. I've linked videos on each of these for you to check out.
view full answer... - Kayak Roof Rack for a 2009 Nissan MuranoFor your 2009 Nissan Murano LE, I recommend the Malone DownLoader, part # MPG114MD. You can use two of this rack on your roof if needed, and it includes features that are handy for loading the kayak. It includes everything you need in the box, including tie-downs for the kayak, and is compatible with your factory roof racks. Looking at the DownLoader, you'll notice a wedge shape on the front of the carrier. This ramp helps support some of the weight of the kayak as you go to load it,...
view full answer... - What Kayak Carriers Can be Used with Malone Kayak Carrier Load AssistThe Malone load assist part # MPG351XL that you referenced can only be used with the DownLoader part # MPG114MD. They can't be used with the Thule rack you have now so if you wanted to use it you'd need to replace the carriers as well.
view full answer... - Can 2 Malone Downloader Kayak Carriers be Used on a 2015 Toyota Highlander with Factory Roof RackI am confident you would be able to use 2 of the Malone DownLoader kayak carrier # MPG114MD on your 2015 Toyota Highlander. A lot does depend on just how wide the kayaks are but ultimately I do not foresee a problem. You would need just one of the Telos load assist # MPG351XL since it does not permanently install on the carriers.
view full answer... - What Is The Maximum Height Of The Malone Telos XL Load AssistThe maximum height the Malone Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL is 98-1/4" fully extended, which is 8' 3/16" long, however it is likely that this will be shorter because this system will have a slant to to it, it won't be installed upright. If your bars are compatible, the Thule Hullavtor Pro # TH898 is a great option, and will easily allow you to easily haul your kayaks.
view full answer... - Load Assist to Help Load a Kayak on the Roof of a Toyota Prius with Thule AeroBlade Roof RackThe Malone Telos kayak loading system # MPG351XL attaches in a specific way that is only compatible with the Malone J-style kayak carriers but I do have an option for you. You can use the Rhino-Rack universal load assist # RR-RUSL. It is compatible with the Thule AeroBlade bars you have on your Prius. Basically you will rest one end of the kayak on the load assist so you only have to lift one side which will be about half the weight. I have linked a video showing how it works. For a similar...

- How to Easily Load Two Kayaks on a 2012 Honda OdysseyIn order to carry two kayaks on your 2012 Honda Odyssey, I recommend using the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 with the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD and the Malone TelosXL Load Assist Module part # MPG351XL. The AirFlow2 will allow you to mount both kayaks using the carrier with the load assist in addition to most cargo boxes from Yakima, Thule, Rhino Rack etc. The load assist bars are angled and have height adjustments so you do not need to worry about any overhang...
view full answer... - How to Carry Two Kayaks on a 2015 Nissan RogueAbsolutely! In order to carry two kayaks on the roof of your 2015 Nissan Rogue you will need a set of crossbars and set of kayak carriers. For the crossbars, I recommend using the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215. These crossbars have an aero shape which will work to reduce wind drag and noise. They also have integrated t-slots and come with locks. Then for the kayak carriers, I recommend using two sets of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD. These carriers come...

- Max Roof Height for Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak CarriersThe Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL can be adjusted up to a height of 98-1/4" long. If the roof rack on the vehicle sits higher than this then it would not work without additional props to support the legs such as the Stackers Leveling Blocks part # A10-0916. Unfortunately, there are no extended legs which offer more height so in which case you'd need to consider another style of load assist like the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist part...
view full answer... - Will the Malone Downloader fit the Inno Aero Crossbars on My 2021 Mercedes GLA 250?Yes. If you have Inno aero crossbars like the # INXB123-130 installed on your 2021 Mercedes GLA 250, the Malone Downloader # MPG114MD will fit those crossbars as long as you install them in the top channels of the bars. For attaching the DownLoader to the top channels, you will need the T-slot hardware kit # MPG6604. The DownLoader also comes with the option to attach the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL that attaches right onto the DownLoader. If you want the DownLoader that already comes...
view full answer... - Availability of Load-Assist Kayak Carrier to Use on Tall RVThe extension legs for the Malone TelosXL Load Assist # MPG351XL really do need to make contact with the ground to allow for proper operation because as you mentioned, there aren't any other contact points (such as suction cups on the vehicle side) to provide support. Because of the height of your Ram Promaster I don't think there really is a load-assist option that will work well to assist with loading or unloading your kayaks. Any of them will either require some ground support or simply...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Use Telos XL Load Assist With Angled Yakima Kayak CarriersFrom the information you provided it sounds like everything will work together. The Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit for Malone Telos XL Load Assist # MAL95VR will adapt your Yakima racks to allow you to use the Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG351XL. The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers # MPG351XL extends up to 98-1/4" (approx. 8.2') which is short of the height that you would need, but it sounds like you have a plan in place for that. I would caution that...
view full answer... - Kayak Load Assist Options for a Vehicle with Factory Roof RackIt sounds like you need help loading a kayak(s) on your 2008 Lexus RX 400h with a factory roof rack. If that is the case then I do have an option for you but none of the side load assist arms we carry that attach to the crossbars which includes the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist part # RR-RUSL will work with factory crossbars as it requires an overhang. The overhang means the crossbars extend out past the mounting feet which is rarely the case for a factory roof rack. Instead, the only...
view full answer... - How to Load a 14 Foot Long Kayak on a 2015 Audi Q5 with One PersonI do have an option for you but the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier part # TH898 will not work with the factory crossbars you have on your 2015 Audi Q5 due to the lack of overhang. Instead, I recommend using the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD with the TelosXL Load Assist part # MPG351XL. The combination of this j-style carrier with the load assist will easily allow you to load your 14' long kayak on the roof of your Q5 with only one person. As long as you kayak does...
view full answer... - Using 2 Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers On Top Of A 2015 Subaru OutbackThule requires a few things to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading # TH898. You need crossbars with adequate overhang so the carrier doesn't make contact with the vehicle. Crossbars that hang over the legs by 4" - 8"are needed and that would be on each side to accommodate 2 Hullavators. The other requirement is that you need 24-28" between the front and rear crossbars. But really the biggest limiting factor here is probably going...

This combination will also provide a load assist feature for loading/unloading the kayak. It is rated for 75 pounds.
