Is there a kayak weight limit? We're looking at a tandem kayak that weighs ~85lbs...

Weight limit is 75lbs. You may need the Thule 830. I don't like it as much but will give you some stability in your rails.

There is a weight limit. It is difficult to navigate if you exceed the weight limit. On a lake, I have many times had both my kids in one boat with me, but three adults is difficult. If you were going to navigate a river I wouldn't recommend more than two people.

I'm 5'8'' and the one kayak I haul around is about 62lbs. I have a Jeep Liberty, with the racks it's about 72-ish inches. When the loaders were working properly - suction cups secure, and the track not hanging up - I didn't have any problems loading it or getting it into the cradles. However, I do carry around a small step stool with me. Once the loaders are at the top, I get on the step stool to push the kayak into the cradles.

Hey. So my sister and I have done tandem on this board. Together we weighed about 330 and it was hard to use the board(the balancing part was super hard). The board sunk deep in he water but it did not flow over the top of the board. I suggest getting a taller board closer to 12 feet that can handle more weight.

According to Malone, 250 lbs. I carried 4 kayaks on mine, the lightest being about 48 lbs, and the heaviest was 63 lbs. I pulled it 350 miles each way, and had no troubles with the rack. Overall, I was very pleased.

Don't think this particular canoe loader was designed for that much weight. My kayak is 85 lbs, and the bungee cord that holds it on probably is at it's limit. The problem isn't normal driving. Its emergency turns, panic stops stops. I put a ratchet strap at mid point in my pick up and another one on the roof rack.

Hi I think you could fit a tandem if you space the hooks widely. We have one installed on the railing of our deck, and it is holding up fine so far. I would recommend getting a cover for the cockpit though, as I have heard of animals making a home in kayaks. Happy Kayaking :)

139 pounds. I'm a 55 year old woman, 5'8" and about 132 pounds. I love the kayak.

The Malone website suggests a 150 pound carrying capacity, so no problem there. However, unless the kayaks can be placed on the cart in a stable manner, the load may be tippy with any # of tie-downs. Note that the entire cart is only 30+/- inches long. Very stable carrying one large canoe with a single tie-down; carrying two kayaks may require ingenuity

I don't know the weight limit, but I have a kayak that weighs more than 50 pounds hanging from the hoist. It could lift and hold much more than that, I'm certain.

Well, you are not alone. I completely missed that wt limit also, if it was there. None of my friends can use it. One friend who is 145lb could not really make it work. We ended up doing some redneck engineering with some boat bumpers and can sit on it, but not stand. I am going to save for my neices and nephews, but all of my crew is too heavy.

They will carry up to 160 lbs and most kayak attachments will adapt to square rails

We have two kayaks. One is a Wilderness Pungo 120, and the other is a Wilderness Tsunami 125. Both boats fit fine on these hooks, and they weigh approx. 50 pounds, with no problem. You can get them on the hooks easily, and I consider them a great buy.

Didn't read about a weight limit but I have put 90lbs on it already. Hope this helps!

For $449.99 we got the ten foot kayak that weighs about 35 pounds. Maybe you should call Amazon to clarify what's showing on the web.

We bought them to haul our 12 ft tandem kayak which is 70 pounds. We traveled a hundred miles with it. It seems sturdy enough but I wouldn't go over the 100 pound limit. They were really easy to install as well.
