I have 2 9ft kayaks and i'm thinking about using one hook for each kayak to hang upright. Are the hooks sturdy enough to hold a 65lb kayak each?

The capacity of each hook is approximately 100 lbs. The further out on the hook the less capacity. It is important to use metal screws (not wood screws) to attach. Make sure you are securing to at least two (2) inch material (2"x4" or 2"x6"). Put in a number screws per hanger.

They seem sturdy enough to me. Probably matters more what you're mounting them on. Those are heavy 9 footers!

While I haven't actually tried this, I'm fairly certain the hooks would hold, as long as the screws were securely attached to the wall.

I don't believe I would trust these hooks to hold that much weight. I would opt for the Malone kayak hooks which are a little more expensive, but well worth the difference in price.

I cant answer, i use one j hook per kayak. The straps are very long so the kayak model should not be an issue. I do not use the long straps. Gravity and the angle of the bend in the hook keep my tarpon 120 in place. Both my kayaks are 12 feet long and weigh 60-80 lbs depending on cargo. I am short 5'7 and i can lift them off the hooks easily.

A single kayak should be OK. I tried two and the bars flex too much and pushed the ends out so much they would not stay tight in the roof grooves. Anything more then that and I'd spend more for a better quality rack. It's cheap but gets the job done with limitations

I have mine hung up with stick on hooks that you can find just about anywhere these days. They seem to be plenty strong enough for the weight of the product. I used wire to allow the board to sit flat if that is important to you. Hope this helps.

I believe each hook is capable of holding 5 pounds. I would use two for stability to hold the box, even though it most likely does not weigh 10 pounds.

YES i fully beleive they will aslong as you mount them properly in to a stud if u cant find a stud make one with a 24" peice of 2x4 for each hange mount the 2x4 on to the wall securely and then mount your hanger into the 2x4 but yes it wont have any issue holding a 15' i store my kayak on mine and hang my helmet and quad gear on them at the same time

I do not know the weight limit on the hooks themselves. In our car(s) they have held backpacks full of books and school stuff, as well as my computer bag. I'm guessing easily can hold 20lbs. if using both "appendages" of the one hook. I can not imagine what one would hang from these hooks that would be too heavy.

I would say yes. On the description page it says the large hook will hold up to 5 lbs. I hang a large bath sheet on mine and I haven't had any problem.

Too weak. I originally bought it for a lighter load and then gave them to my son, who tried to use them to haul his one-person kayak, and they were marginal at best. He ended up buying a Thule rack (which can also be locked). Hope this helps.

I bought two pair to hold my two Dagger Axis 10.5 KAYAKS. I attached them to the wall of my storage barn and the two KAYAKS fit perfectly. They are EZ KAYAK Racks. Oh, pretty sure the measurements are clearly listed, as well as suggested kayak weights they are rated to hold. Hope that helps.

the hooks are sturdy enough to support the bag hanging with a full load of laundry. very easy to lift up...but it depends how heavy the load is...and how strong you are.. hope that helps

I haven't used the hooks for anything very heavy but they seem to be quite strong and sturdy. I believe they could easily handle things maybe 40 or 50 pounds.

Could not tell you, I mounted mine on my trailer. I can say though that I bought two sets for my jackson 14 cuda's and they hold up very well. My kayaks each weigh 70 lbs and the racks have had no problems. Owned now for almost a year and going strong.

I cannot speak to Hobie kayaks, but I have a two person tandem ocean style kayak that is 90 pounds, and it holds just fine. The straps are provided, but you don't really need them to hold the kayak in place unless you are expecting an earthquake. The rack is very solid and stable

I assume you're asking how much weight they will hold. My kayak is about 35 pounds and is nicely supported by these storage arms; I do turn my boat on the side so that the entire boat is inside the hooks. As long as the storage arms are secured well to studs in the wall, they should do the job! Good luck.

I presently use my to hang my Hobie and a second Ocean Kayak by the lower straps. The upper straps help support and secure the kayak into the upper position.

Most definitely. These hooks are generous and you decide how far apart to set them. We bought 2 sets, one for 10' flat water and one for 12' one. Extremely stable. BUT, like others, we used better screws. Hope this helps.
