Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes

MPG586XL In Use

This lightweight and versatile trailer comes with a post-style carrier so you can transport 4 kayaks or canoes. With a 6-3/4' long tongue, this trailer offers exceptional clearance during tight turns. The extended tongue also makes it easier to back up the trailer and prevent binding than trailers with shorter tongues.


MPG568 post-style cradle

Durable post-style kayak carrier with soft foam pads prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. The pads stabilize your boat and help prevent road shock while traveling on uneven or rough terrain.


Submersible LED Trailer Lights

MPG535 LED tail lights

The DOT-approved tail lights on this trailer are fully submersible, so you don't have to worry about damaging the lights when loading and unloading your boat in water. Each tail light has brake, running light, and turn signal functions, as well as side marker lights and reflectors. In addition, these LED lights last longer, burn brighter, and require less power than incandescent bulbs.


CE48870 main harness to 4-way

The wiring for this trailer has a simple design, so it requires very little cutting or splicing to install. As you assemble the trailer, route the main wiring harness through the trailer tongue and down towards the body of the trailer. Then plug the 4-wire end of the tail light harness into the main harness.


Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and attach the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights using wire connectors. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are secure, use the included clips to secure the harness to the frame.


CE48870 4-way plug

When you're ready to connect the trailer to your vehicle, simply plug the trailer end of the main harness into the 4-way flat connector on your vehicle.


Leaf Spring Suspension

MPG535 leaf spring suspension

This trailer includes a leaf spring suspension system to limit road shock while you tow. A sturdy steel axle runs beneath the trailer frame. The 2 slipper springs that support the axle flex to absorb the rough motion that can occur when driving over bumpy terrain. Also, the axle, spring hangers, and tie plate are galvanized to resist rust and corrosion.


Quick and Easy Trailer Hookup

MPG535 trigger style coupler

Hooking this trailer to your vehicle is quick and easy. The trailer's coupler connects to a 2" hitch ball, and the included safety chains act as an emergency measure if the coupler accidentally disconnects from your hitch ball. A rubber coated lift handle is mounted to the coupler to provide a solid grip for lifting or maneuvering the trailer. Finally, the skid plate on the underside of the trailer tongue keeps the coupler from touching the ground.

Perfect for the purpose, If I had to do greater distance I would have chosen a heavier model but for me the eco light is ok. Better stability on the road than expected. Good quality for the price… and excellent customer service! Thank you !



by:

Straight forward instructions, went together easily and pleased with the final product. Exactly what I expected to tow a kayak and mountain bike.



by:

PERFECT! I carry my tandem kayak effortlessly, and I was able to easily retrofit a bicycle rack next to the kayak rails. I love it.

  • Best Way to Transport 4 Kayaks on 2015 Chevy Traverse
    Without knowing the length of the crossbars and the weight of the kayaks, I would have some doubts that you're going to be able to carry 4 kayaks on the roof of a 2015 Chevy Traverse-but if you were going to do it the Thule Stacker # TH830 would be the way to go since they don't take up a ton of space. You're going to need roughly 50" (the Stacker takes up about 3" of bar space) of crossbar space to successfully do this. I would also recommend checking your owner's manual to find out the...

  • Spare Tire And Mount For A Malone EcoSport MAL63FR
    Hi Jim! There is indeed a spare tire and mount for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL63FR. Check out the Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer - Locking Attachment # MAL33FR. This will sit flat on the tongue and is a direct add-on from Malone. But it is a bit on the expensive side. If you have the room for it, I would go with the following two parts: CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Mount - Galvanized Steel - 4- and 5-Lug Wheels # CE27310G Kenda...

  • Does Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer Need to be Stored With Tires Off Ground
    Hey Dave, this is a great question but if you're parking the Malone EcoLight Sport # MAL63FR just for a season you can leave it on the tires and be okay. The absolute best solution would probably be to have the tires off the ground but for that short of a time you'd be fine.

  • Can Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks Carry 6 Kayaks?
    Hello Nicholas, thanks for reaching out. The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR can carry up to 4 kayaks. The crossbars are 58" long so it really would not be possible to fit 6 kayaks on there. A better option would be the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 this has a 78" crossbar and can be used to carry up to 6 kayaks when used with J-style cradles like the Yakima JayHook # Y04084.

  • Choosing The Best Malone Trailer Setup To Use Given Limited Storage Space
    I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. I recommend going with the Malone EcoLight # MAL63FR since it will have the smallest footprint out of the other Malone trailers you mentioned. The trailer itself is about 10' 9" long x 58" wide and 31" tall. This will be advantageous if you are limited on storage space. The EcoLight can hold four kayaks and carry up to 400 lbs which generally is more than enough for most kayaks. We can also set you up with the retractable tongue...

  • Space Conscious Kayak Trailer That'll Allow You To Carry 3 Kayaks
    I recommend going with the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08106 over the Malone # MAL63FR with the Thule The Stacker # TH830. This will give you the ability to carry 3 kayaks on their side rather than side by side. The reason I recommend going with this kayak trailer instead is due to the fact that the tongue can be removed to save a ton of space, and will reduce the trailer down to being only 6' long. On top of that, this trailer can support up to 250-lbs, which is more than enough...

  • Can a Rooftop Tent be Added to the Malone EcoLight Kayak Trailer
    There aren't any kits that we have that'll allow you to add a tent and different kayak carriers onto your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR. To use a tent, you'd have to use a different trailer like the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G which already has crossbars on it, but unfortunately you still wouldn't be able to carry your kayaks at the same time.

  • Spare Tire For Malone EcoLight Sport Trailers
    Yes, the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 # AM30030 is a substitute for the Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer # MAL33FR. Both tires are capable of being used on the Malone EcoLight Trailers # MAL53FR, # MAL73FR, # MAL93FR, # MAL63FR and # MAL43FR.

    The Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer # MAL33FR is compatible with # MAL53FR, # MAL73FR, # MAL93FR, # MAL63FR and # MAL43FR but the trailer tongues are the same as the Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone MicroSport Trailers # MPG494 so it will fit.

  • Is One Thule Stacker Kayak Carrier Able to Hold 4 Kayaks
    You would just need one of the Stacker kayak carriers # TH830 for 4 kayaks. You will need some additional bow/stern tie downs though such as # Y04031. To determine if you have enough crossbar length for 4 kayaks you can measure each one from the ground to the top at the center of each kayak and then add it all up. The free space on the bars would need to be at least that much plus a few additional inches to account for the Stacker. Another thing to consider is the capacity of the roof rack....

  • Best Kayak Trailer for 4 Kayaks
    I recommend using the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks # MAL63FR because it allows you to carry all 4 kayaks where the MicroSport Trailer # MPG461GU is setup for 2 kayaks. The XtraLight trailer has a 275-lbs total capacity, so as long as your kayaks don't weigh more than that combined it would be a good choice to carry all your boats. The XtraLight is designed for use with a 2" hitch ball and comes with a 4 way trailer connector. If you need the added...

  • Watersports Trailer That Will Fit Through A 5'8" Gate
    The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MAL52FR has crossbars that are not meant to be removed. The crossbars measure 78" long and for that reason I recommend going with a different trailer that will fit your 5'8" gate without removing anything from the trailer. I would look into the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL93FR which has J-cradles for 2 kayaks just like the LowBed MicroSport. This will...

  • Best Way To Haul 4 Kayaks with a Lexus RX 350
    In order to haul 4 kayaks with your Lexus RX 350 you would need to use a trailer as the amount of space and capacity of the roof on your vehicle is simply not great enough to haul 4 kayaks no matter the type of carrier that is used. Instead, I recommend using the Malone EcoLight Trailer part # MAL63FR. This trailer is specifically designed to haul up to 4 kayaks and would be perfect for you. It has foam blocks to protect the kayaks, lights for safety, and everything else needed to hit...

  • How To Transport 4 Kayaks And 1 SUP On A 2010 Honda Odyssey
    The Thule Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier # TH830 is the best option for carrying 4 kayaks on the roof of your vehicle. This comes with straps for one kayak, so will need 3 more Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # TH855XT (or something similar) to secure each kayak and you will also need 3 Tie-Down Strap with buckle # 753-2030-02. I do not see a way for you to safely add the SUP to the roof while the 4 kayaks are loaded as there will not be enough room and...

  • What is the Best Way to Transport 4 Kayaks on My 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab?
    It looks like you have the Adarac Pro Series ladder rack on your 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab. Unfortunately, with two sets of the Rhino-Rack 2 kayak carriers # S512-S512X, you need at least 56 inches of crossbar space. However, depending on height of your kayaks (the thickness of the hulls when the kayaks are on their side in the post style), there may be an option for you. If you have thinner kayaks, the best bet is the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding...

  • Are There Wider Tires for the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks
    The Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with Post Style Carrier for 4 Kayaks part # MAL63FR comes with 4.80/4.00-8" tires which measure 4.6" wide. There isn't much room for larger tires but you likely could squeeze in there a 5.70-8, the Loadstar 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel part # AM30150 which measures 5.9" wide. Unfortunately, you won't be able to order the trailer with this size but rather order the trailer with the size it comes with and swap them out after the fact.

    I have a solution for you. We do carry the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Post Style - Folding - 4 Kayaks # RRS520. The Nautic Stac will clamp onto crossbars with maximum dimensions of 3 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall. In order to determine a definite fit on your Haul Master Ladder rack, I recommend measuring those dimensions. The Nautic Stack also comes with hardware to use on t-slot channels.

  • Can Malone MAL63FR EcoLight Sport Trailer Carry 15 Foot Canoe
    The Malone # MAL63FR is meant for boats up to 14 feet in length. As your Old Town Saranac 146DLX is almost 15 feet long, the # MAL63FR wouldn't be a good choice as the bow of the canoe would sit too close to the rear of the tow vehicle which could possibly damage the canoe or vehicle. I'd recommend a longer trailer like # MPG460G which can handle boats up to 20 feet long, which would work better with your canoe. To secure the canoe to the trailer's crossbars, you can use the # MPG156...

    Hello Christian; the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 can handle your 4 kayaks as long as they don't exceed the 800 lb capacity. However, this probably isn't the best trailer configuration if you want to attach 4 kayaks. I recommend one made for that many kayaks like the Malone MicroSport # MPG462G2 you looked at instead. This will make it easy to secure your kayaks and it has the same 800 lb capacity. If a 400 lb capacity is high enough the Malone EcoLight Sport...
