Why this product
Why the Malone J-Loader?
The J-Loader is Malone's entry-level J-cradle aimed at first-time kayak owners. Padded arms, 75 lb capacity, universal fit. At 13.6 lbs it is the heaviest single-boat J-cradle in this category, which speaks to the thicker steel construction. No load assist, no folding. Budget-friendly and functional.
