Can this be used for a rooftop cargo carrier?

I think the lift itself would work for holding a rooftop cargo carrier. The straps may be too short to go around the carrier, but if they are, buy longer ones at a hardware store. Good luck!

I believe it could be used to lift and store a rooftop cargo carrier if the carrier is flat on the bottom or has cleates that the lifting straps can be secured to.

It coud be used to store one. The straps could go around it if they were placed close enough.

No, it is made to hang a kayak from the ceiling of a garage.............and for this it works very well.If you were wanting to hang a car carrier from for storage I would buy some 2" straps and some hooks and that might work to store your car top carrier and then lower it to the roof when needed

yes .mine holds a 21 cubic feet yakima. the straps are long enough. use a 2x4 approx. 6 ft. on the ceiling to mount.

I don't see why not. You will just need to put the pulley sets closer together. They have worked out great for us. I bought 3 for my kayaks and you can use them to pretty much hoist up anything. Hope this helps.

It should be able to. I don't see any reason why not. Packed to the gills, however, and it will probably not fit in most overheads.

It has holes that would work but you need a bungee cable or something to attach. If you have the cargo tray in the back though, this box will NOT move around!

No....except thru the back sliding doors of your van. The cargo bag is heavy and hangs on the latch at the top, so it wouldn't be feasible. Sorry.

If you are using a Trailer Hitch style carries as shown in the photo it should be fine. If you are putting it on your roof rack you will need full support under it. I drive a Chevy Traverse and have a carrier that is 60" wide. This thing is made of heavy material and plenty waterproof, but it doesn't have a support system of its own.

We only used it for carrying pole vault poles which are not as heavy as a cargo carrier could get. A cargo carrier also will present more wind resistance and forces associated with that resistance as a function of how fast your are driving. I would consider installing a tow hitch followed by a metal basket that mounts in the tow hitch. This would be easier to load up and won't damage your roof.http://www.jcwhitney.com/curt-class-iii-receiver-hitchesfor-use-with-small-campers-boathorse-trailers/p2011910.jcwx?filterid=c2309d2171u0j1

I am not sure, but my 2012 rails on the roof were equipped to hold the cargo carrier when I unscrews them and put them back on upside down. I had to send these racks back because I didn't need them.

It should work as long as the air racks fit snugly against the roof when you tie them down.

Yes, I bought these cross-bars to use with a Sears X-Cargo rooftop carrier. The carrier came with alll the hardware (the U-bolts, washer plates and wing nuts), which fit perfectly on the cross bars. Installing the cross bars took about 1/2 hr (alone) but with an assistant on the other side of the van to line up and hold the bars in place whille you tighten, you could install in 15 mins. Good luck.

We used this on a cargo carrier, but I would use it on a roof rack if I had to. The only thing I would watch is the weight you put in it. It is very big and holds quite a bit of stuff. Also, it did not leak at all when we traveled through very heavy rain. I would recommend this to my friends.

It is expands tall , and probably have wind drag, it is collapsible so it can be tide to roof rack but wouldn't advise it . Very convient and easily accessible to use with cargo carrier

The latch points are adjustable, so you can adjust where the Rack sits on the roof. Should be fine.

If the cargo carrier is metal than it should not be a problem. We are using ours in a motor home using the suction cup metal base with the antennae attached to the base. It works great. We are in a state park in Iowa, it boosted the signal from 3g 3 bars to 4g 4 bars.

Yes. The carriers are bolted individually to the bars, similar to any roof rack. You can mix & match. Put a cargo box a bike carrier and a kayak carrier if you want. BTW, if you are definitely not going to use all four carriers, you may want to get the trailer with the two kayak attachments (MPG461G2) and then order the bike carrier and the third kayak carrier separately. It might end up being cheaper.

Unless you have cross bars you won't be able to mount it on top of the side rails. The soft bottom will rest on the roof and is best stabilized by having a pad of some sort. It would be very difficult to secure to the straps to the rails if the carrier overhung the rails since you have to loop the strap around the rail before securing one side to the other.

I haven't tried but just by holding this thing I can tell you I wouldn't want to be the one to hold up the boarding by trying to get it in the overhead. It's sturdy enough to survive in the cargo. It might crush everything around it but it will be ok.

I used it all last summer and transported it like you suggest, righside up. I have an Ocean kayak tandem sit on top kayak. There is no way I could transport on its side. It works great. Because my kayak is larger than most I have to use different straps than what came with the kit. Another thing to know is that it is designed to mount on after market crossbars not factory roof racks. I modified the mounts with u bolts to fit on my Jeep Commander roof rack.
