Our two connectors are spaced apart so that you can span over a rack tower.  If there is just one connector you need to go either side of the tower, which means you have less room for kayaks. Plus, you'll have to mount those others further inboard the tower, where your kayak is harder to reach!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur J-Cradle design is much more effective than a mere stacker and it's tall enough to handle even the wide kayaks -yet narrow kayaks are no problem. Other J's and stackers have many more parts to remove, rust easily and are more difficult to take on and off and are usually only about 1\/2 the height of our Stainless Steel J-Cradles. Bonus: when empty our J-Cradles can be loosened and tilt over flat so you can easily reach straps, or perhaps even drive into your garage (this requires round bars.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOur J-Cradles are designed to be an easy one-person load!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (others require 2 people.) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou can actually set your kayak in the J-Cradle without it falling over before you get it strapped down!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (try that with a stacker!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOur J-Cradles include two of our patented upside-down Loop Straps -easy loading -no step stool required! \u003c\/b\u003e(these are much easier to reach with taller vehicles.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOptional Extras:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ea.) \u003c\/strong\u003eMulti Purpose:  use our Stainless-Steel J-Cradles for kayak transport AND kayak storage with our optional \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/oak-orchard-canoe.myshopify.com\/collections\/multi-purpose-kayak-j-cradles-for-cartop-transport-and-kayak-storage\/products\/wall-mount-clip-kit-for-oak-orchard-j-cradles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWall Mount Clip Kit\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eb.)\u003c\/strong\u003e Add optional padding onto the back side if you want to use our J-Cradles as a Kayak Stacker.  One kayak fits in the front of the J-cradle, \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eand\u003c\/span\u003e also carry an occasional second kayak against the back side of the J-cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe offer two types of Mounts for J-Cradless: Choose which fits your rack crossbar shape...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSnap-Around Mount\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fits ONLY Yakima™ round bars OR Thule™ rectangular bars.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUniversal Mount\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fits most rack crossbars.
