Suspenz Big EZ Rack – Heavy-Duty Large Kayak Storage (SKU: 12-0102)
The Ultimate Solution for Heavy Fishing Kayaks and Large Canoes
If you own a modern fishing kayak or a large recreational canoe, you know that standard wall hooks often fall short. They lack the depth to accommodate wide beams and the strength to support heavy rotomolded hulls. Enter the Suspenz Big EZ Rack (SKU: 12-0102). Specifically engineered as the “bigger brother” to the classic EZ Rack, this heavy-duty system is designed to get your largest watercraft off the ground and safely onto the wall.
With a massive 150 lb weight capacity and a generous 27-inch extension from the wall, the Big EZ Rack is the preferred choice for owners of Hobie, Old Town, and Bonafide fishing kayaks. It doesn’t just store your boat; it protects your investment by ensuring that the weight is distributed across the strongest points of the hull, preventing the dreaded “oil-canning” or permanent hull deformation.
Why Your Heavy Boat Needs the “Big EZ”
The primary challenge with large kayaks is their width and weight. The 12-0102 model addresses this with a reinforced, powder-coated rectangular steel tubing frame. Unlike round tubes that can flex under pressure, rectangular tubing allows for a completely flush mount against your wall studs, providing a rock-solid foundation that won’t sag over time.
Premium Protection and Safety Features
600D Nylon-Covered Padding: Your watercraft never touches bare metal. The arms are encased in high-density foam padding covered by a durable 600-denier nylon sleeve. This provides a non-marring surface that protects your boat’s finish from scratches, dents, and abrasions.
Integrated Safety Straps: Security is paramount when storing a 100lb+ boat overhead. These racks include heavy-duty, adjustable safety straps that wrap over the hull and lock into the frame, ensuring your boat stays put even in high-traffic areas like a shared garage.
Side-Storage Engineering: By storing your boat on its side, the Big EZ Rack utilizes the strongest part of the watercraft—the gunwales or the vertical side-walls—ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Versatility for Every Storage Environment
One of the key advantages of the Suspenz 12-0102 is its adaptability. While it’s a top-tier wall-mounted system, it’s also a core component of the Suspenz modular ecosystem:
Free-Standing Compatibility: If you’re a renter or don’t want to drill into your walls, these arms can be mounted directly onto a Suspenz Free-Standing Frame. This allows you to create a multi-boat storage tree that can be moved as needed.
Quick-Release Brackets: For those who want the ultimate flexibility, the Big EZ is compatible with Quick-Release Wall Brackets (sold separately). This allows you to remove the rack arms from the wall in seconds without tools—ideal for seasonal storage or clearing space when the boat is on the water.
Marine-Grade Construction: The 12-0102 Black model is built with stainless steel hardware, making it more resilient for outdoor use or damp boathouses. Note that while the finish is durable, we recommend a regular application of a corrosion inhibitor like Boeshield T-9 if used in saltwater environments.
Installation and What’s in the Box
The Suspenz Big EZ Rack comes as a complete kit, ready for a standard DIY installation. Because of the weight this rack is designed to carry, we strongly recommend mounting the arms directly into vertical wood studs or solid masonry.
