Picture of the all-new INA446 Inno SUP / Kayak / Canoe Locker for use as a stand-up paddleboard rack, kayak rack, canoe rack and more. Universally fits factory roof rack crossbars as well as base rack systems from Inno, Yakima, Whispbar, Thule and more.
Image of the INA445 Inno SUP / Kayak / Canoe Locker - an economical version of the INA446 and does not include the car rack cross bar pads.
Now available from Inno Racks dealers in the United States and Canada are the new, improved versions of the famously popular Inno INA444 SUP / Kayak / Canoe Locker – the Inno Racks INA446 SUP / Kayak / Canoe Locker and the Inno INA445 SUP / Kayak / Canoe Locker – both feature innovative updates that allow for even more factory roof rack cross bar fits, more robust theft prevention and better protection and stability of equipment during transport. Instead of a pair of foam blocks (included with the INA444), the INA446 version now includes a pair of crossbar pads that deliver superior ease of loading and unloading and wear-restistance that’ll last a lifetime. The INA445 version does not include rack pads and is targeted as a more value priced option for users that do not need rack pads for added equipment protection, ease of loading / unloading or increased prevention of lateral shifting of gear during transport (also a great option for users that already own a pair of car rack cross bar pads or foam blocks). Both models feature redesigned locking rack straps that deliver increased protection from theft of gear or the rack itself when left unattended. They also feature universal clamp hardware that fits even more factory racks as well as any after-market base rack system crossbars from Inno Racks, Yakima Racks, Whispbar Racks, Thule Racks and more. The Inno INA446 Locker and Inno INA445 Locker are the most versatile watersport carriers available on the market today and work equally well for hauling any canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard ( SUP ), surfboard (both short and long boards), windsurfer, wakeboard etc. Works great as a ladder rack as well. The integrated ratcheting mechanism makes it an effortless process to tighten the straps around the gear, and the included Inno locks and keys ensure everything is safe and secure from anyone stealing your gear or the rack itself. They both also adjust to any width along the cross bars to custom fit the item(s) you are carrying.

Picture of the all-new MPG116MD Malone Racks J-Pro j-style kayak carrier, a cheap kayak rack that still manages to accomplish what other more expensive carriers normally are only able to do... fit any roof rack including factory rack crossbars, Whispbar, Yakima, Thule, Inno car rack cross bars etc., transport any kayak up to 34" wide and 75 lbs. and be covered under the Malone Auto Racks lifetime warranty program.
Photo of the MPG117MD Malone Racks J-Pro2 j-style kayak carrier, a mid-level kayak rack that includes all the same features as the Malone J-Loader j-cradles kayak rack except that it does not offer the boarding ramp integrated into the base of each of the cradles for easy kayak loading. Fits factory racks and any Yakima, Whispbar, Inno, Thule roof rack crossbars etc. Holds boats up to 36" wide and 75 lbs.
Rounding out the recreational-level and entry-level kayak rack offerings in the Malone Auto Racks new series of j-cradle style kayak carriers, the MPG117MD Malone J-Pro2 kayak rack and MPG116MD J-Pro kayak rack are superb options for anyone focused on a well balanced blend of solid features and value pricing. The Malone J-Pro2 kayak rack is in fact very similar to the more expensive Malone J-Loader kayak carrier and lacks only the integrated boarding ramps at the bottom of each cradle to allow for easily sliding the boat onto the cradles. It also is not compatible with the MPG351 Malone Telos Lift-Assist device (Malone Telos works on the DownLoader, J-Loader and AutoLoader kayak racks only). Other than that it serves as an excellent carrier that will last for years and years of reliable use. The Malone J-Pro j-cradles are available as a cheap kayak rack option and will meet any budget minded consumer. Will never rust or corrode and includes adjustable pads on the upright cradles. Both the J-Pro2 and the J-Pro include the proprietary Malone Racks JAWZ universal mounting hardware so they work on any factory roof rack cross bars as well as car rack crossbars from Thule, Inno, Yakima, Whispbar and more. The J-Pro2 fits boats up to 75 lbs. and 36″ wide while the J-Pro works with any kayak up to 75 lbs. and 34″ wide.

Picture of the MPG114MD Malone Racks Downloader fold-down kayak carrier, a premium j-style kayak rack with cradles that can fold down when not in use. Fits all roof racks including factory rack crossbars and any cross bars from Whispbar, Yakima, Thule, Inno etc.
Photo of the MPG118MD Malone Racks J-Loader kayak rack, which other than lacking the convenient folding down kayak cradles, is exactly the same as the Downloader model.
Already a leader in the kayak transport industry with a full line of car roof mount kayak carriers and trailer hitch mount tow trailers for hauling kayaks, Malone Auto Racks has launched a new series j-cradle style kayak carriers. Two noteable models are the Malone MPG114MD DownLoader fold-down kayak carrier and the Malone MPG118 J-Loader kayak rack. Both are essentially the same carriers with the one exception being the J-Loader model does not feature the folding down cradles for when there is no boat on the rooftop. Otherwise, they are exactly the same and can carry any size, style, or shape kayak up to 75 lbs and 36 inches wide. They also include the proprietary Malone Racks JAWZ universal mounting hardware that allows the carriers to attach directly to virtually all roof rack styles including factory racks and any car rack cross bars from Yakima, Whispbar, Thule, Inno and of course Malone. The folding down cradles feature on the DownLoader model serves to improve fuel efficiency while driving around town with no kayak on the car top. It also enable access to garages without having to first remove the carrier.

Photo of a kayak roof rack on a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan using the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack System (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q31 clips and pair of 58 inch cross bars). Attached to the base rack cross bars is the Yakima BowDown folding j-cradle kayak rack and 50 inch Yakima Fairing.
This 2006 Honda Civic kayak roof rack system is totally decked out with a Yakima Q Tower Complete Roof Rack System and Yakima BowDown J-Cradle Style Folding Kayak Rack for carrying a kayak on the roof top. The Yakima Q Towers roof rack for a 2006 Honda Civic requires the use of Yakima Q99 Q Clips and Yakima Q31 Q clips. Yakima 58″ load bars are called for to meet the width requirements of the 2006 Honda Civic sedan rooftop when carrying a kayak. A 6 pack of Yakima locks and lock cores secure the rack system and kayak rack onto the 2006 Honda Civic Sedan (4 locks to lock the Yakima Q tower system to the car rooftop and 2 locks to secure the Yakima BowDown Folding J-Cradle to the roof top car rack system). The Yakima 50″ Fairing is used to cut down on noise created by wind and also helps preserve gas mileage that might be lost when transporting a kayak on top of a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan.

Stellar example of 1998 Saturn SL2 kayak roof rack with Yakima Q tower complete roof rack system (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q67 and Q68 clips and pair of cross bars) and Yakima Mako Saddles for carrying 2 Kayaks side by side and flat.
This rack install example of a 1998 Saturn SL2 kayak roof rack system using the Yakima Q Towers Roof Rack system (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q67 clips and Yakima Q68 clips and pair of cross bars) and 2 complete sets of Yakima Mako Saddles for carrying 2 kayaks comes from an outdoor enthusiast in Iowa. A pair of 58 inch crossbars (included with the Yakima Q Tower car rack system) are the correct length for carrying 2 Kayaks side by side and flat. The Yakima Mako Saddles kayak carrying attachment comes in pairs – it is necessary to use 1 pair for the front crossbar and 1 pair for the rear crossbar for EACH kayak – so in this case 4 pairs are used. Don’t forget a 4 pack of Yakima locks – these 4 Yakima lock cores will make sure this super kayak rack set up stays in your possession.
