Can it carry 2 kayaks side-by-side?

Most certainly!!!!!! I have two 14 1/2 feet Necky sea kayaks. I have fit both of them in my 97 F150 with absolutely no problem. Money well spent for sure. I love not having to lift them so high!!

Yes, we use it to carry our two kayaks. One kayak has to tip on its side a little to fit in the bed of the truck but the part of the kayaks that rest on the carrier is more narrow so it works perfectly. One of our Kayaks is 14' and the other is 12', they are pretty wide (not the narrow sea kayaks) but fit well on this carrier.

Yes. You may have to angle them depending on the type and width, but we carry 2 all the time.

I'm not sure about the dimensions of your kayaks, but the ones I've seen could be laid on their sides and strapped down to the extensions. So from my limited point of view, I would say yes.
994248
Yes. Agree with the 2 other answers I see. You should not have an issue carrying two kayaks.

No, it wouldn't be wide enough even on the widest setting. It would be nice if they made another top piece that was on an angle just for kayaks.

Rhonda, in my case I would have to say it is only good for one. I have a Moken 12.5 that is 32" wide. I have been looking at getting a touring kayak, and I have been thinking the same question about transporting two.

Yes. I have my kayak in the davit and paddleboards hanging in the straps underneath. Holds two easily and also the paddles!

Yes one set of racks holds one Kayak. I own two kayaks so I have one flat and the other on the J rack. You could possible put two sets on your rack and have your Kayaks back to back if you own a small vehicle. I hope that answers your questions.

We purchased the KC-103 Double Kayak that stores two kayaks. Looks like the KC-12 only handles one as you mentioned. I love the one we got.

We use it for a 47lb kayak and a 75 lb pirogue. The pirogue shifts a little bit but it has a flat bottom. If it holds the pirogue, i'm guessing it would hold a 2 man kayak but I wouldn't want to use it for really long distances. The hardest part is strapping the kayak to the cart. The buckle on the strap that comes with it broke the first time we used it but you can use ratchet straps to secure it to the cart. The straps need to be tight or else the kayak will shift around/twist and you'll have to stop and re-position and re-strap. Still better than carrying it by far.

Yes...the racks are adjustable in width. You place each set of racks on the cross bars at the widths you need. You would need to get wide cross bars to accommodate both kayaks.

This product will only hold one kayak. You can fit two sets of them on top of a vehicle in order to carry two kayaks.

Probably - I use this to transport my 14' sea kayak. The strap that secures your kayak to the wheels is adjustable, so you can make sure it's tight and will hold. You just want to make sure there's a pull strap on the other end of your kayak.

You would need two racks, but you would only need one load assist module. You can use the loader to assist with both kayaks. It attaches to a lip on the Malone racks and you remove it once you have loaded the kayak. I absolutely love mine. Works great.

As long as the bars are round you should be able to do that. I have a micro-trailer (SportsRig) with round bars and use the brackets for my large tandem kayaks.

the Hullavator come as a pair which holds one kayak. You can mount 2 hullavator pairs on one set of roof racks and thereby carry two kayaks, one on each side of the vehicle.

Yes, definitely. You can fit two longboards or 3 shortboards on these racks. I've managed to fit 2 longboards and 1 shortboard safely.

I don't know why you would want to do this. If whatever you are lifting is equally balanced on both ends, it should work. Might consider installing something on the kayak to hook the lifting bands farther toward the ends of the kayak so that most of the weight of the kayak is between the two lifting bands.

If the landing pad is the part between the tower and your roof of your vihicle the answer is yes. It fits in to the tower well. I cant believe how well the towers acually work. I carry two kayaks and have never had a problem. I hope this helps.

You can lean a kayak or board on either side of the rack, allowing for two kayaks, one on either side. The rack is only there to stabilize the kayaks, not hold them down, so yes, you will need tie downs-probably one set for each kayak. When I purchased the rack, it came with one set of tie downs.

I have a oversized kayak and it holds up to 500 lbs and the rack manages it quite well, so I do not see any reasons why it would not.
