Carry a Kayak, a Canoe, or 2 SUPs

Series-X Universal Watersport Carrier
LockRack's Series-X watersport carrier has an expandable base that works with ratcheting arms, allowing you to carry 1 kayak, 1 canoe, or 2 stacked SUPs. You don't have to own several carriers, changing them out each time you want to take a different watercraft to the lake.

Series-X Universal Watersport CarrierExpandable Base

The carrier can expand or contract depending on the size of your watercraft. There are 4 holes in the middle expansion piece for the t-bolts once you've adjusted the carrier to your desired width. If your watercraft is wide, you can expand the base, threading the t-bolts through the carrier's base, then through the 2 holes furthest from the center of the bar. If you have a slimmer watercraft, close the gap between the 2 base pieces of the carrier, then thread the t-bolts through the 2 holes closest to the center of the bar.

Ratchet Arms

When your LockRack is not in use, you don't need to uninstall the carrier from your roof. Just remove the arms, rotate them 90-degrees, and then reinsert them so that they lay parallel with the roof of your vehicle. This will reduce wind noise and give you more clearance when parking in your garage.

No Load Straps Needed
Series-X Universal Watersport Carrier

This carrier's two sets of curved, ratcheting arms firmly hold your boards and boats in place on your way to and from the water. Its design removes the need for load straps, however, bow/stern tie-downs are still recommended as they prevent your watercraft from shifting forward or backward during travel, especially during sudden starts or stops.

Ratchet ArmsAdditional Straps

To load your kayak, canoe, or SUPS on to the Series-X you'll first need to remove the arms from one side of each carrier. To remove each arm, put the key in, rotate it, and pull the arm out, giving you access to the carrier's base. Once your watercraft is loaded, push the arms in until they click into place, securing it to your vehicle. To further secure your watercraft, you can attach bow and stern straps from your kayak, canoe, or SUPs to the front and rear of your vehicle (sold separately).

><img class=

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 for bow and stern straps in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.

Universal Installation
Adapters

This LockRack carrier can be installed in the top channels of your crossbar or with the provided adapters. The adapters clamp around most crossbars.

adapters

To install the carrier with the adapters, set the carrier on top of your crossbars with the top portion of the adapter clamp already attached to the carrier base. Then hold the bottom portion of the clamp under your crossbar and tighten the clamps down with the included hardware and tool.

Built-In Security
Ratchet Arms

LockRack carriers have security built-in with locks in the base of the carrier, securing the ratcheting arms. Once you've locked your boards or boat in the carrier by pushing the arms tight against your watercraft, the arms will stay locked until you remove them with a key.

Replacement Key Number

This carrier comes with 4 identical keys. Once the arms are locked in place, insert a key into the locking mechanism in the carrier base. Rotate the key to unlock and release the ratcheting arms. If you ever need a replacement key (sold separately) you'll need to know your original key number. This number is not located anywhere on the carrier so be sure to make note of the numbers printed on the inside of the original set of keys.

The LockRack was quick to install. I took my kayak out today- no straps to worry about or vibrating noise. Looks good and makes for an easy on and off.



by:

I paddle board every day - I would not do it as much if it were not for the Lock Rack system! Stop wasting time with straps and get Lock Racks.



by:

I'm very happy with this purchase, They installed very easily and the adjustments were easy to do and secured my kayak with ease.

GREAT PRODUCT! Would but again but they are as good as the day I bought them one year in, Im so happy I found this kayak rack.



by:

Great product holdsv the kayaks in place and easy to use



by:

Nice design but since there were no instructions it took me a bit to figure it out

Wow I am loving my new set up Thank you Nicole and etrailer for all your help in getting the right look and fit

After 20,000mi of hauling and adventuring with this rack, I can confidently say it holds everything down well. The plastic locking mechanism and rubber grips work consistently in the hot desert and up in the cold mountains.

The only thing keeping me from giving a 5-star review is the whistling, which I solved by compressing a foam tile between the rack and bar (photo attached).



by:

Missing instructions, missing parts, instructions, and keys. Also received broken parts. All that I received is in this picture. I did get the bars that are not pictured



by:

Best rack for surfboard. Well made. Fastest, simplest way to load a board. So simple and fast and a degree of security. I have a different style rack that also locks but is just thin cables. I don’t worry leaving my board on here for a brief moment away. It would take more than wire cutters to break it.



by:

The keys are an issue (wish they were metal), but everything else is great! I go sunrise kayaking only and hate putting straps on with cold hands at 3:30 in the morning. I have a Nissan Pathfinder and was able to put this on with another set of Malone J-hooks so that I can have a second kayak when I go with someone. Once the fear subsides of it possibly falling off, you realize how quick and easy this thing is to use. It takes me 1 minute instead of 9-18 minutes to get my kayak up and secure. I have tested it at 75mph without any jiggling or issues. I sat on this in my shopping cart forever and finally pulled the trigger. If you kayak at least 10 times a year or are going at high speeds for extended periods of time in warm weather, totally worth it. If not, well, there are cheaper options out there.



by: 09/04/2024

You can't have anything else on your crossbars if you want to use this rack. The sercurimg bars do not swivel. Target they slide aaaallll the way out then you rotate and put them back in. Very low rent design for the price. Would not recommend.



by:

great rack, easy install if ur familiar with t slots. love that it locks into place easily. considering getting a second one.



by:

I installed the racks on my vehicle and the Rubber for Lockrack 9-7/8" Base blew off of the racks before I ever got to put a board on them now they want $80 to replace all four of them… I just spent over $400 for the rack and I’ve already got about $80 worth of replacement parts. I guess I should’ve glued them on also it may say they lock but anybody else who buys one will have the same key plus the installation bolts are not tamper proof either.



by:

Unfortunately the track in my roof rails has grommets sticking up to hold the mount to the vehicle that will not allow the t-bolts to slide in. I can appreciate the heavy duty t-bolt and it is not lock racks issue. But I should have just bought the adapter mounts from go and could have saved myself frustration and a few dollars. Make sure your rails are not obstructed before purchasing.



by:

Extremely secure, safe and lockable rack that avoids the cinching and stress of traditional straps. Easy to install. Fantastic service and communication from etrailer. Highly recommended.



by:

Easy installation. Secure. No straps required. Drove 8 hours up to 80 mph, didn’t move.



by:

They look great, it didn’t come with the connection to actually connect them to my roof rack.



by:

Great company and customer service. The product was shipped quickly and arrived in a few days. The Lockrack is awesome. I use it for surfboards. It’s so easy to use. I have been using the product for several years and am very pleased with how simple and durable it is.



by:

Rec'd earlier this week, so today i will install. The item was obviously a return. The logos are nearly scratched off in places, all the items were loosely thrown in the box, and the 10mm wrench and hex key were missing. i think everything else is there. The keys should be a bright color instead of black, some spray paint will fix that. Anyhoo, i am a little disappointed.



by:

I mounted it on my Yakima racks. Very easy to do (directions could really be improved by having someone describe the steps more clearly). I have not used this. Could be a month or so. However, initially, it looks good. Too bad the angled arms that hold the kayak are not adjustable depending on the angle needed.



by:

This is the best and quick way to transport your sup, surf ski, OC etc. load and lock in 10 second. Secured and effective set up. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.



by:

Great product
Great service

  • What is the Difference Between the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier LR88FR/LR24VR/LR54FR?
    The main difference between the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier # LR54FR & the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR is going to be the adjustable base range. The # LR24VR has an adjustable base range of 19-11/16" to 25-9/16" wide while it's XL counterpart # LR54FR can adjust from 28" to 48". You are correct, the # LR24VR and # LR88FR are identical apart from the fact that the # LR24VR is meant to work with any crossbars by using the included universal clamping system...

  • Can The Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier Be Used Without Bow/Stern Tie Downs?
    Yes, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR will absolutely work with the aero bars on your 2023 Toyota Corolla. The clamps on the Lockrack carrier are designed to be universal, and will fit virtually and crossbar shape, including your aero bars. It can also hold up to 175 lbs, so you will not be even close to capacity with your kayak. It is true that the Lockrack carriers do not require the use of load straps. The ratcheting arms are rubber coated and will be extremely strong/secure....

  • Can a Second SUP Carrier Be Added to the Single SUP Carrier System?
    Unfortunately there is no expansion kit for the Lockrack Adjustable Stand-Up Paddle Board Carrier # LR47FR and the arms are not available separately. To carry your two boards, you'd have to upgrade your entire setup with the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier - Kayak, Canoe, or 2 SUPs - Side Loading - Universal Mount # LR24VR.

  • Lockrack Carrier recommendation for 21.7" and 33" Windsurf Boards
    Hey AR, thanks for reaching out! For your application you need the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR which can handle up to 2 boards and has a max inner arm width of 41" but can also be reduced down to 21-3/4" so you'll easily be able to accommodate one or both boards depending on what you feel like taking that day. The carrier mentioned above comes with universal mounts that clamp around your crossbars, but this same carrier is available as part # LR88FR which mounts via...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2023 Ford F-250 Crew Cab

  • Can the Lockrack Adjustable Surf Ski Carrier Carry a Regular Surfboard?
    Yes you can use the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR with regular surfboards. This carrier is adjustable and can be adjusted from 19-11/16" wide to 25-9/16" wide, so if your board is wider then you'd be better suited with the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier - Canoe, Kayak, or 2 SUPs - Side Loading - Universal Mount # LR54FR.

  • How Easy Is It To Load Kayak On Rubber Pads Of Lockrack LR24VR Compared To Normal Kayak Carrier?
    Sliding a kayak across the rubber pads on the Lockrack # LR24VR really won't be much different than normal crossbars/kayak carriers, though I recommend picking up some silicone spray from a local home improvement store and keeping the rubber coated in that every couple of months. This will make loading the kayak even easier than with most kayak carriers, making it a lot easier on your back. This will work perfectly on the lower level of your Yakima EasyRider # Y08129.

  • How Well Does the Lockrack Adjustable Kayak Carrier Hold Up during Interstate Travel
    I spoke with our contact at Lockrack, and I have good news for you. The Adjustable Watersport Carrier, part # LR24VR, has been thoroughly tested to ensure that it can handle your trips. They took this carrier loaded with a kayak and traveled from L.A. to Salt Lake City, with average speeds of 75 mph, and there were no problems. As long as the kayak is secured in place before leaving, the wind will not move it or jeopardize its security.

  • Lockrack Kayak Carrier For A Winnebago Travato With A Black River Cargo Rack
    The Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR is made to be universal. The clamps will fit virtually any crossbar, regardless of shape. I am not sure exactly what shape/size these Black River Crossbars are, as this is not a brand we carry here. If you can provide dimensions of the crossbars, I can tell you exactly what will fit. Generally, unless the crossbars are odd shaped or oversized, the Lockrack carrier will work nicely. The Lockrack Carrier is a great choice. It is very easy...

  • Roof Rack To Attach Canoe To The Top Of A 2022 Ram 1500 Crew Cab
    Hello Chris. For your 2022 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the bare roof I recommend the Yakima Roof Rack # Y37EB. This will come complete with 60" aero bars, towers, and fit kit which will of course be no-drill. For carrying your canoe I recommend the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR. I like the LockRack carrier because easily adjustable and like the name suggests, fully lockable. It also requires less straps than most other carriers. I have linked a few of our install/review videos...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier for a Hobie Passport & A Hobie Outback
    AJ, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR24VR could potentially work with both your Hobie Outback and Hobie Passport Kayaks, but it looks like you might run into a height issue. It looks like this carrier can handle up to 12" tall kayaks which both your Outback and your Passport exceed. So I'd actually recommend you go with the XL versions # LR54FR instead, which is going to give you a bunch more room and will still work great with the Malone Microsport.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2014 Subaru Outback Hauling Two 31" Wide Kayaks
    Hey Erik, With two 31" wide kayaks you'll have to go pretty wide on the crossbars to have enough length to accommodate both. I recommend the following roof rack components: TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y33TR HD Bar SL Adapter # Y03541 Yakima HD Crossbars - 68" Long # Y01158 I'd then switch from the clamp-mount LockRack carrier # LR24VR to the channel-mount version # LR88FR.

  • Recommended Crossbars/Ladder Rack for a Kayak Carrier On a 2014 Toyota Tundra
    Since we don't have any crossbars that will work directly with your BAK tonneau cover you are going to be a bit limited. One option is to use a set of roof crossbars like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2, with the legs # RRRLKVA, and the fit kit # DK079. From here, you could then use a kayak carrier like the Malone FoldAway-5 Kayak, Canoe, and SUP Roof Rack w/ Tie-Down # MAL38FR. The only real issue I see with this setup is having a too much overhang from your kayaks...

  • Flush Mount Roof Rack For 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS With Raised Side Rails
    Hey there John, we can definitely get your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS set up with a roof rack to go between your raised side rails. While I'm not 100% sure what rack you meant when you mentioned no crossbars, I can tell you that you definitely do need crossbars. And since you want a style that goes between the rails (called a flush-mount style), the Malone # MPG215 wouldn't be an option as they overhang. Instead, the only flush-mount rack that fits your Mercedes is from Rhino-Rack: - Rhino-Rack...
