I own 2 tandem kayaks. They measure 36" across. Does this trailer come with the proper racks to accommodate this wide of a kayak? Any information?

I would say yes. It comes with 4 sets of J style racks. I have a Liquid Logic Deuce Coupe that is 33" across and it fits on just fine, so I imagine the 3 extra inches wouldn't be a problem at all. My 14.5 Native Slayer easily fits on as well.

As others said, the width should be ok, but how long are your kayaks? I found that 18-19' is the max sweet spot lengthwise for this trailer. Also, if you just have the two kayaks and are worried about the width, you can always order this trailer with the saddle or v-style carriers for 2 kayaks.

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.

Hi Megh,Unfortunately this carrier accommodates kayaks up to 34" wide and 75lbs.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

These will work with just about any width kayak. We bought some bull clips to hold the extra strap length to the tightened straps so they don't fly around while driving.

Malone's site has a fit guide for cars. http://www.maloneautoracks.com/kayak-carriers.php I had mine on square bars but now have oval bars so I'll be modifying them to fit.

I have a Toyota with factory racks that are wide and flat but my friend has a rack with round bars and she has the same Malone Wings. We both loves these mounts as they are so easy to use and work with any size kayak. They don't work with canoes just so you know but we both have sots and sit ins of various sizes and these mounts work with all our kayaks. The only thing I don't care for are the straps so I use NRS straps but other than that these are great! They screw down I would say on most any size racks unless the cross bar is exceptionally large and hold your boat very secure. Hope this helps.

Not sure my factory aero bars would only work to haul one kayak, so I got the Malone bars tookstock off and can use two sets . If that helps you. My problem was could not fold rack s compleatly open.

My kayak is 36 inches wide - lots of extra material> depends on the circumference of your canoe

Sorry it's 2 months out, Lightfoot..... But, yes, the bars are strong enough for poly kayaks. We run a 2 kayak setup with the Malone Stax Pro and Inno cradles.

It's 28 inches at its widest point. Kayaks have no official capacity, but I've had 300 lbs in mine and it handled it just fine.

I don't have the rack with me but it's about 1.5 feet tall. It clamps to the cross bar on your luggage rack so it's fairly sturdy. My biggest kayak is a 14' Wilderness Systems tandem kayak and I don't have any problems. The kayak is wider than the bar is tall but there is a strap that loops through an eye on the top of the bar, then the strap wraps around the kayak and luggage rack to keep the kayak tight against the bar. I hope this helps.

Fits crossbars that are up to 3-1/2" wide and up to 2 1/2" high and will accept kayaks up to 3 feet wide and weighing up to 75 pounds. Car racks that go from drivers side to passengers side.

I think the pulleys will go wide enough for a tandem. That said, I would not buy this one. The other hoists that are designated for canoes and kayaks have double-rope systems which seems to lift the item evenly (both ends go up at the same rate). This one lifts one end and you have to manually level-out the load. At least that's how it works for me.

Just a rack. If/when you get a trailer, it should be 5' wide with angle iron railings. If it has round or square rails, you will need to find different brackets to attach the rack. Also, I have a newer Carry-On trailer, and it has metal wiring conduit, so I needed to work around that to set up the rack.

No. It sounds like you are referring to "Side Rails" which run front to back of your vehicle (parallel to the Kayak). You will need Crossbars that run from Side-to-side (Perpendicular to Kayak). These racks straddle the cross bars.

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.

I bought a smaill trailer that is just the right size for the boat. It is a full four feet wide and needs to lie flat.

I would take the bolts to Home Depot or Lowell's and match them up with longer bolts. The rack is really great and easy to use. Make sure you put the straps on first before you mount the kayaks
