Simple T-bar stacker for carrying up to 4 kayaks vertically
Last reviewed: March 2026
At a glance
Why this product
If you regularly haul 3 or 4 kayaks, the Stacker is one of the few racks designed for it — vertical stacking keeps boats on edge so they fit side by side. 75 lb capacity per boat, 7.1 lbs total weight. No padding included, so plan on buying foam blocks or straps separately. For group paddlers or outfitters, the capacity-per-dollar is strong.
