I lam not the brut of my youth these make life ez to have fun



by:

Exactly what a old lady needs to load a 10foot kayak.



by:

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!

great



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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:

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!



by:

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.



by:

Little bit of a learning curve to figure out the best way to use the load assist.



by:

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



by:

Works well



by:

Excelent product. At our age, it Will allow us to continue kayaking for many more years.



by:

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



by:

Works very well.



by:

The order shipped quicker than expected, the communication was excellant and the product was as described and priced competitive. Thank you!



by:

Easy to use

Won't use until spring.

  • What Kayak Carriers Does Malone TelosXL Assist Fit
    The Telos XL part # MPG351XL is designed to fit into slots that are on the end of the Malone kayak carriers like the # MPG114MD . But you can use it with a Thule carrier if you also went with the # MAL95VR.

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for 2020 Mazda CX-5
    The only hitch mounted option wouldn't be an actual carrier, but a support like the Malone Axis # MAL32VR. This would require the installation of a trailer hitch like the # 76138 you looked at. More than likely you won't need this to mount your kayaks on your 2020 Mazda CX-5. Your kayaks will fit completely on a roof rack with a kayak carrier like the one seen in the picture below unless they are incredibly long. If that is the case, then by all means you could add the # MAL32VR to help...

  • Rear-Load and Side-Load Assisted Kayak Carrier for Use on 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon Factory Bars
    We have a number of load-assisted kayak carriers, some side-loading such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 and others rear-loading. For use on the factory crossbars of your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon I recommend a rear-loading carrier. For what its worth, I am a kayaker and I find a rear-loader easier. I think the Yakima HandRoll Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04082-2 offers an excellent combination of convenience and value for your dollar in a rear-loading roller-style carrier. This system...

  • Will Telos XL Load Assist Work With etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier
    You'll need an adapter, but yes, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 is compatible with the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL. What you will need to add is the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit for Malone Telos XL Load Assist # MAL95VR. The adapter will attach to the crossbars and be what you attach the load assist to instead of the kayak carriers.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Universal Load Assist Work With Factory Crossbars On a Toyota RAV4
    If you need help loading a kayak on your 2019 Toyota RAV4 with a factory roof rack 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 other option we have for you that will...

  • Is There a Load Assist Option for Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Roof Rack
    I do have an option for you but there's not much you can do load assist wise for the setup you have now, the Malone FoldAway-J Kayak Roof Rack part # MAL98FR. The Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL is probably your best option but in order to use them you'd likely need a new set of j-style cradles, the Malone DownLoader Kayak Roof Rack part # MPG114MD. In a lot of cases, you can get away without new j-style cradles using the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit for...

  • Kayak Carrier to Fit With Malone TelosXL Load Assist
    Yes, 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.

  • Recommended Two Kayak Lift-Assisted Roof Rack System for 2017 Mercedes GLS450 with Side Rails
    I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack - Aluminum # TH7503-TH7503 as a roof rack system for your kayaks. It's a great sturdy system, and the main perks of this roof rack is how low-profile and quiet it is so you can leave it and go about your normal daily routine. You won't have to worry about wind noise which can be a common issue with other roof racks. This also comes in Black # TH7503B-TH7503B and I attached a video so you can see the install process. For kayak racks, while...

  • Availability of the Regular Malone Load Assist for J-Style Kayak Carriers
    The 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.

  • Assisted Kayak Carrier Recommendation Over Malone Telos
    The Telos part # MPG351XL that you referenced can only be used with the Malone Downloader carrier part # MPG114MD. Now that said if you are going to spend that type of money I'd much rather recommend you the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 as it works much better and is easier to use as well. Check out the review video I attached for this for you to check out as well.

  • Max Roof Height for Telos XL Load Assist for Malone Kayak Carriers
    The 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...

  • How To Carry Two Kayaks On a 2016 Toyota Tundra
    In order to carry two kayaks on a 2016 Toyota Tundra you'll need to start with a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System part # RRVA150B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK079 is a great cost effective option and what I recommend. Then, in order to secure the kayaks you'll need to do so on their side. The Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD is a great option that can be used with the Telos XL Load Assist for Malone J-Style Kayak Carriers part # MPG351XL if you need...

  • Recommended Load Assist For Loading Heavy Kayak Onto etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier 2017 Mazda CX-5
    I recommend looking at the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL for help loading your Kayaks onto the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878. You will need the Universal Roof Rack Adapter Kit # MAL95VR to use the load assist. This will allow you to more easily raise and lower your kayak on and off your 2017 Mazda CX-5. The Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier and Load Assist # MPG113MD are designed to be used together and I do not feel that you will have enough room for the 2nd kayak.

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier and Load Assister for a 2010 Lexus RX 350
    Without a doubt you're going to need a set of crossbars to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 to your 2010 Lexus RX 350, however to use two of these on the same set of bars you'd need bars that are around 60" long. Unfortunately the longest set of bars we have for your vehicle are the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711320 with the feet # TH710401 which are 50" long so you're not going to be able to do what you're wanting. Instead, I'd recommend going with two sets of the Malone DownLoader...

  • Parts Needed to Use Telos XL Load Assist With Angled Yakima Kayak Carriers
    From 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...

  • Using 2 Thule Hullavator Kayak Carriers On Top Of A 2015 Subaru Outback
    Thule 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...

  • Will Malone DownLoader Fit Aero Crossbars on a 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.

By the way their Telos Load Assist # MPG351XL measures just under 59-inches long when retracted. All roof racks for this flush rail configuration are shown on the linked page.

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Kayak Carrier Fit Rhino-Rack Euro Square Bars on a 2013 Kia Optima
    The Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading Item # TH898 will fit the Rhino-Rack square roof rack bars. But you need to make sure that the bars stick out past the roof rack feet at least 4 inches so that when the Hullavator is lowered it won't make contact with the vehicle. If the bars do not stick out far enough I recommend the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD with the Telos load assist # MPG351XL. This combination will also provide a load assist feature...

    All of the crossbar sizes of the Inno Aero crossbars that we have listed as confirm fits for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 are the available size options that Inno has for you based on your crossbar length needs for the vehicle. Depending on what accessories/cargo you need to transport, you can use more or less crossbar space. The length does determine how long the crossbars stick out past the feet. If you are planning on transporting a kayak, I recommend the longer roof rack bar system...
