HD KAYAK BASKET (1PC)

The EXPOSED RACK Side-Loader Kayak Basket is a heavy-duty, plated and powder-coated rooftop carrier designed for kayaks, stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), surfboards, longboards, and handcrafted wooden kayaks. It features a universal fit system that accommodates various crossbar styles through different bracket options. The 8-00-9845-LG variant specifically includes large, oversized brackets (MPN 8-00-9848), stainless steel hardware, and straps, making it ideal for vehicles with large crossbars such as some truck bed frames. This innovative basket allows for easy self-loading of large kayaks by one person, offers additional storage space under the kayak for wet gear (lifejackets, wetsuits), and can be used as general cargo storage when not carrying water sports equipment. It is proudly made in America, durable, mildew-resistant, and UV-resistant. Up to two kayak baskets can be mounted side-by-side on a vehicle's rooftop.
