Overall very good quality and construction. For my situation the cross bar needed to be about a foot longer. Had used it dozens of times. No issues. Store my kayaks all season on the trailer and cross bars. Possibly a small piece of tubing turned upwards. To stabilize the kayak in place on the cross bar outside edge.

Only one problem was a bad grease bearing seal on one wheel after one year’s use. No more than 50 miles on the trailer. Other wise the trailer works great.

Just purchased the Second Tier option for my Malone Microsport. Happy to say that all part were present and accounted for, then again I have never had this problem with Malone. So going into this project I knew that I was going to make some modifications to the second tier. I prefer to carry my sea kayaks on their sides where they are strongest and will not oil can. In order for me to do this I needed to drop the second tier height down 6 inches and that is exactly what I did. Square stock was easy to cut an drill. This also results in a lower center of gravity which I prefer. I also customized a set of Inno stackers to run along the spline of the second tier for anchoring and added adjustable Inno pads to the end of the bars. Pads are rubberized meaning that your boats stay put during transit. Supplied Malone strap tie downs were relocated to the underside of the bars to service the lower tier. My only concern is flex in the second tie bars. Kayaks on the second tier weigh total of 100 pounds. I am going to be interested to see if the deform over use. If so I will retrofit new ones with a beefier wall thickness. Cheers!
As always a pleasure ordering and working with eTrailer!

We like the second tier really well. Because our trailer was a year older than it was made for, we had to have a welding fabricator install it for us, making some cuts and drilling some holes. He also spot welded in a few places.

See what our Experts say about this Malone Accessories and Parts
- Availability of 2nd Tier for Malone MicroSport LowBed Off-Road TrailerHey Charlie! At this time Malone does not have 2nd tier specific to the Malone MicroSport LowBed Off-Road # MAL97ER or Malone MicroSport LowBed Off-Road 2 Kayak Trailer Package # MAL37ER. However, you do have the option to add the 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG474. This is galvanized so it won't match the black finish but it will still fit the trailer. We have seen people paint it before, like in the attached picture, so you could always paint it black if...
view full answer... - How Much Height Does Malone Second Tier Kit Add to TrailerHey Johnny, when installing a Malone Second Tier kit like the part # MPG474 the upper crossbars will be 36 inches taller than the lower ones.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Convert Malone MicroSport to LowBedHey Stefano, yes the LowBed kit part # MAL33TR is all that you need to convert your Malone Microsport # MPG460XT to a LowBed style trailer. The Yakima DeepSpace part # Y65RR is also compatible with the 2nd Tier Kit part # MPG474 too. How come you are wanting to convert to the Low Bed setup?
view full answer... - Can A Second Tier Be Added To Malone MicroSport LowBed Trailer?Hey Scott, thanks for reaching out. So it is possible to add a second tier to your Malone MicroSport LowBed with the # MPG474 2nd Tier Kit. It bolts right on and gives you another set of 50-inch crossbars. This should only be used for lighter kayaks or gear though. It has a weight capacity of 100 lbs, and based on what I am seeing online, the Oldtown 120 Autopilots are over 100 lbs. The trailer itself can handle up to 800 pounds, so three AutoPilot 120s aren’t a problem weight-wise—it’s...
view full answer... - Can The Malone Milk Crate Cage For MegaSport Trailers Be Installed On The MicroSport Trailer Hey Tyler, With how simple Malone made these trailers you could definitely find a way to install the milk crate storage cage, unfortunately Malone discontinued it. It used to be listed under part # MPG546 if you want to try looking for it still in stock somewhere else or secondhand. If you can't find it then you could get some galvanized or aluminum square tubing and and build one yourself.
view full answer... - Distance Between Malone Trailer Crossbar and Bars of 2nd Tier Kit # MPG474The distance between the top crossbar of your Malone Trailer # MPG460XT and the bottom of the bars on the 2nd Tier Kit part # MPG474 is 32 inches. I confirmed this with Malone.
view full answer... - Adapter Needed To Shorten The Length Of A Malone Ecolight Trailer For Storage Hey Rick, You'll want to remove the union plate that attaches the tongue to the trailer and bolt on the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit # FHDPB230101. This will allow you to fold your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL53FR in and cut down the length of the trailer.
view full answer... - Can Malone Second Tier Kit be Used on MicroSport XT TrailerYes, you can use the Malone Second Tier Kit part # MPG474 on the Malone MicroSport XT part # MPG460XT.
view full answer... - Correct 2nd Tier Crossbar Kit for a Malone MicroSport TrailerWe do have a 2nd tier load bar kit for your Malone MicroSport Trailer: - 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG474 The other part # MPG545 you mentioned is for a MegaSport Trailer.
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Trailer to Haul Two 14' KayaksWell if you plan on sticking with just two 14' kayaks then the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G is the way to go. This trailer is a bit more expensive than the EcoLight, but you do get a bit more trailer for the difference. This trailer, as I'm sure you're aware, has a much higher weight capacity at 800 lbs and can haul boats up to 20' long which gives you plenty of wiggle room. If you plan on hauling more than 2 kayaks then all you'd need to do is get the 2nd Tier Load Bar System...
view full answer... - Are there Shorter Crossbars Available for the Malone MicroSport TrailerMalone does offer the 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG474 which measures 50" long and would work with your MicroSport trailer, however these bars are only rated for 100 lbs so you'd be loosing around 400 lbs of capacity with the smaller bars.
view full answer... - Best Kayak Trailer and Carriers for Two or Four KayaksFor a kayak trailer, I'm a fan of Malone's trailers. I personally did a video on their Malone MegaSport Trailer with Saddle Style Carriers # MPG550-U since I'm a big fan of the saddle style carriers as well as their cargo boxes designed for fishing trips. Since it's such a heavy-duty kayak trailer (I jumped on the fenders to test them), it's a smooth ride and was also surprisingly easy to maneuver by hand. If you want an extra strong and sturdy kayak trailer, the MegaSport is the way to...
view full answer... - Can Longer Crossbars Be Used When Adding 2nd Tier # MPG474 to MicroSport Trailer I reached out to my contact at Malone and he did say that the 50" load bars that are included with the 2nd Tier Kit # MPG474 for your MicroSport Trailer are the longest they can safely recommend. He said that longer top crossbars will lead to instability on the trailer and actually wouldn't be DOT compliant. Using the 50" bars included with the kit is the only option for adding that 2nd tier. I have attached the written installation manual that you can check out as well.
view full answer... - Can The Malone Crossbars and 2nd Tier Crossbars Be Used With a Small Boat Trailer? We do offer the Crossbars # MPG4001 and 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474 like you see on the Malone 2 Tier LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LBT. As these are specifically designed to bolt to the Malone trailer you may have to do some customization to fit on your trailer. You will be able to use the Yakima Crossbar Pads # Y07415 to provide a padding for your kayaks and paddle boards.
view full answer... - Ladder Racks For Trailers and Trailers with CrossbarsThe Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 has the versatility to fit many of our trailers even though they are not enclosed. The Pack'Em Ladder Rack Bracket Kit for Enclosed Trailers # PK-28B would also work, but the sides are not as sturdy as if there were an enclosed roof frame already in place, so using these systems will have weight limits that aren't accurate for that custom application. I've attached a link to our trailers for you. If you don't specifically need...
view full answer... - Can I Place Bunks MPG561 On The Malone 2nd Tier Load Bar System MPG474?Hello again and thank you for your questions. To answer your first question, yes, it is possible to place the bunk kit # MPG561 on the 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474. That said, the bunk kit weighs about 23 lbs, so that combined with the 90 lb kayak will put you over the 100 lb weight capacity for the 2nd tier system. My recommendation would be to use a simple crossbar pad like the Malone Rack Pads # MPG314, along with the tie downs of your choice (such as the etrailer Tie Down Kit...
view full answer... - Can The 2nd Tier Load Bar System MPG474 Support An Old Town Sportsman 120 PDLIt sounds like you are definitely on the right track here. To answer your question, yes, the 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474 will indeed support one of your Old Town Sportsman 120 PDL’s. The 2nd tier does have a 100 lb capacity, so as long as the kayak is at 90 lbs with the pedal system and all accessories removed you will be completely fine. The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer has an 800 lb capacity so even with the 2nd tier and three 90 lb kayaks you are well under the specified...
view full answer... - Will the 2nd Tier Kit For Malone MicroSport Trailers Also Fit on the Malone MicroSport Low BoyYes. The 2nd Tier Kit # MPG474 is also compatible with the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer - 78" Crossbars - 800 lbs # MPG464-LB.
view full answer... - What Trailers Does 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MicroSport Trailer FitI checked with Malone, and the 2nd Tier Load Bar System for Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG474 does not fit the LowMax. The # MPG474 only fits the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG460XT and Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G. For added cargo on the LowMax though, you can use a cargo box, the Storage Trunk for Malone MicroSport and XtraLight Trailers # MPG481. While it says for MicroSport and XtraLight I did verify with Malone it fits the LowMax.
