Why Do We Carry Kayaks On Their Sides and Not Flat?
Answer:
1. To carry more than one kayak on short cross bars. ie: Factory installed crossbars, compact cars.
2. The sides of kayaks are very strong - unlikely to dent.
3. Only Oak Orchard's Multi-Purpose Stainless Steel J-Cradles carry kayaks, remove easily and double as kayak wall storage with optional Wall Clips.
4. Only Oak Orchard's Multi-Purpose Stainless Steel J-Cradles can lay down flat when empty on Yakima bars.
5. HD Stainless Steel, deluxe rubber padded, 23" high, so they aren't hidden behind your boat like competitors!
6. Oak Orchard J's feature our new patented easy load 2 piece "upside-down" tie down straps. Straps store on J's when empty. No need to remove straps or buckles.

Each J-Cradle is 14" from front to rear, about 10" of this in the middle tray contacts the bar. Each Cradle is about 23" tall. Frequently the kayak takes up more space than the cradles. We use two bolts and two connectors per cradle or saddle for extra stability compared to other brands which only have one. Our two connectors are spaced apart so that you can span over a tower. If there is just one connector you need to go either side of the tower, which means you have less room for kayaks.
