Why this product

Why the Malone AutoLoader XV J-Rack?

The AutoLoader XV folds flat and includes a load-assist feature at Malone's budget price point. 75 lb capacity, tool-free mounting, 10 lbs. The load assist is simpler than gas-strut systems — it tilts to make loading easier rather than actually lifting. For paddlers who want some loading help without paying Hullavator prices, it is a reasonable compromise.
