SeaSucker Monkey Bars 48″ Vacuum Roof Rack Cross-Bar System (SX6150)

The SeaSucker Monkey Bars 48″ Vacuum Roof Rack Cross-Bar System (SX6150) from Nomadic Supply Company are round black powder-coated aluminum roof rack cross bars that come in 48″ and 60″ widths. Both versions allow you to easily attach accessories for activities such as kayaking, skiing, surfing and paddle boarding, biking, or hauling cargo.

Powered by 6″ SeaSucker vacuum mounts (4 up front and 2 in the rear), the SeaSucker Monkey Bars 48″ Vacuum Roof Rack Cross-Bar System (SX6150) fits on just about any vehicle or boat. Have a wide or narrow roof? No worries, the vacuum mounts can be moved to any position on the bar to ensure a perfect fit for any vehicle.

SeaSuckers are vacuum mounts, not suction cups. There’s a big difference between the two. First, each 6″ SeaSucker vacuum mount is pull rated at over 210 lbs. Each 4.5” SeaSucker is pull rated at over 120 lbs. Suction cups also lack one incredibly important safety feature: the indicator band. SeaSucker’s orange indicator band begins to appear once the vacuum mount loses some of its suction, letting you know it’s time to re-pump well before it detaches.

SeaSucker Monkey Bars 48″ Vacuum Roof Rack Cross-Bar System (SX6150) FAQ’s:

Q: What kind of stuff can I carry with it?
A: The Monkey Bars are really a set of roof cross-bars that can be attached to just about any car without the need for factory or aftermarket-installed rails, so whatever you can strap to those bars is generally okay. In addition to paddle boards and surfboards, people use our racks to carry bicycles, kayaks, canoes, ladders, and lumber, among other things.

Q: Do the bars fold or break down for easy storage?
A: The bars are actually two sections coupled together in the center. You can unscrew them for storage. Hopefully you saved the caps that came with the rack to protect the exposed threads from damage when unscrewed.

Q: Can the bars be lengthened/shortened?
A: The Monkey Bars Extension Kit comes with two 12” add-on bars (one for front and one for back), so you could convert your standard 48” Monkeys Bars (comprised of two 24” bars) to 36” or 60”.

Q: Can the vacuum mounts be repositioned on the Monkey Bars?
A: Yes; the clamps that hold the vacuum mounts to the cross bars can be loosened and moved to a new position. Don’t forget to retighten them! The tool you need for this comes in the box (you’re welcome).
