Will these crossbars support a canoe or kayak? Do you know the weight limit?

I can't give you an accurate answer. My guess would be that they would probably support total weight of about 75 pounds comfortably . Which means that each bar would probably support somewhere in the vicinity of about 40 pounds distributed along its length. Keep in mind this is strictly guess. I would not want to see anyone injured.

Reginald, this will support anything 15 lbs or less. The cross bar extends 12 feet across. you may want to contact Savage company about the weight. We appreciate your inquiry.Regards,Alex G

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.

Yes, I've used it for both a canoe and a kayak. I have a large canoe that is too wide for the t-bar so I added a length of 1x1 oak to the top that sticks out several inches on each side. My sit-on top fits nicely on it.

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.

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

It might work, but the descriptions says it is for canoes up to 90 pounds so use caution.

i believe it could work for a canoe. Have the stands go on the inside of canoe so its rest on the flat surface. The stands are great I have 2 kayaks sitting on one set of stands.

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.

Would trust Yakima, they are not designed to fit small crossbars. Anything under 1.5" diameter would give me pause.

I use my crossbars on my 2011 Forester to carry 2 kayaks. They work fine, but have a fair amount of flex in them.

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.

They are pretty sturdy. But i don't think they are rated for that type of weight. I have a 100 lb kayak and i wouldn't try it. Great to keep your yak off the ground to work on it.

Honestly I'm not positive on the weight limitation but the set itself is very sturdy. I think the cedar beam I drilled into will probably fail before these hooks.If I had to guess each hook should support 150 lbs a piece.

I could easily put two on my Toyota Siena ( currently using one) and carry my kayaks. I have factory roof racks with two cross bars,

They will probably work as far as the width of supports is concerned but you will probably have to tie the top of the kayak to something to keep it from falling out of the cradle.

If it's not flat or almost flat, I would not trust them to hold your kayaks. Even if the roof were flat I wouldn't trust them to go very far.
