Awesome product, fits great on my Ecolight. Install instructions were easy to follow and the extra storage means less trips to the truck to load & unload. Very sturdy construction. Everything arrived faster than anticipated and packed well.
I have had this bin on my trailer for over a year now. I use it to store my PFDs ropes and fishing gear. It keeps everything dry and the latches hold the cover on well.
It fit perfectly and was easy to instal l.
One of the brackets were bent but I still installed it. It works for now.
Handy storage, put wet gear in there after kayaking and dry gear anytime.
etrailer is a great site with very competitive pricing and shipping.
The Malone xtra-light storage box is awesome. I can put all the things from my Hobie Pro Angler into the box prior to towing it to my fishing location. Once I pull the kayak off the trailer I can open the box and set it up my gear (fish finder, rod holders, mirage drive, etc). The box locks and is strapped to the trailer while driving. It's perfect.
Excellent all around.
Like the product but the instructions do not go with the trailer the way it shows. This is the second product of Malone that I received with incorrect instructions. It is not the fault of Etrailer. I am very happy with the items I have ordered from them.

What trailer are you using the storage trunk on? The trunk is compatible with Malones MicroSport and XtraLight trailers only, and the exact positioning of the trunk will depend on which of those two you have. You can see more details in the video provided above.
This is flimsy, and requires the user to drill holes in the Malone Microsport Trailer to install it. THEN, you can't get to it when kayaks are on the trailer. It's a good idea, but poorly executed. However, the best part of this whole process was the fantastic customer service by William B! He is a true pleasure to deal with!
This is a nice trunk for storage. Top comes off, no hinge. Four latches to hold top close.
However while on the trailer it is held in place with only a strap. So its not secure as
far as anyone could come along and take it. Also I don't think it could securely hold heavey items for long, I say this because the bottom of the trunk is not supported and I believe with heavey items bouncing inside the truck on road trips could cause it to fail, due to it not being to ridged. For now I keep it in my vehicle. I am looking at a modification on my trailer so it is secure, and will support the bottom as well. I use it for my Hobie mirage drive system and Boonedox wheels, fits but concern about weight. Not a problem while in vehicle. Nice trunk, but could use improvements.
Mounting was a cluster because they sent the wrong brackets. But etrailer helped me get that fixed. It fits and works well. But in the end,I have not used it as I can fit everying in my car so far.
Super convenient to be able to stow our paddling accessories like life jackets, pumps, gloves, and so on inside this convenient on-board trunk. It fits neatly inside the trailer frame and has plenty of room for lots of accessories!
Very well engineered. Easy to install. Would highly recommend to others.
This box is really nice, and fits perfectly on the Malone micro sport trailer. It is easy to install, and includes mounting brackets
Great trailer. Well made and sturdy. Good instructions if you use Malone[online] video and the written instructions. Made assembly easier up on a table to build. A bit intimidating to start with all the parts but pretty fun to see it come together. It took me two 3 hour session. I just installed the Malone storage truck and would recommend purchasing it along with your trailer.
Still holding up well after a year. Used frequently and has been a quality product.
Super fast shipping and it perfectly fits my Eco-Light trailer. Bolted right in, though I pretty much ignored the instructions as they aren't for the Eco-Light. Makes a nice storage area for my PFD and my kayaking accessories.
Bought this trunk for the Microsport trailer, works great to keep gear secure and tucked away.
I am very pleased with the product and the etrailer company. The communication was very good. The storage bin was easy to install.
The issue was taken of and the storage container was shipped, received and installed. I'm heading out for a kayak trip this weekend and haven't yet used it but am willing to upgrade to 5 stars based on customer service alone. Great job!
I like it. Fits trailer perfectly!
Others have similar trunks but they have a hinge making it difficult to open with kayaks loaded. So I'm glad I went t
Box is difficult to close, top does not go on easily. The box walls are thin, this is strictly a light duty storage box.
Seems like a sturdy container. Arrived in good condition.
I have a MicroSport trailer. The instructions for this kit are unclear and probably wrong. They say to use the rear bolt (only the rear, not two bolts!) of the front spring support in the front hole of the brackets. This is clearly wrong, because if you do that then the bottom of the box rests on the axle and won't go down far enough to rest on the bracket.
The next sensible thing to do (which etrailer's video shows) is to use both front spring bolts which moves the box forward so that it doesn't rest on the axle. However, this results in the front latches of the box resting on the front cross member of the trailer (see yellow arrow in the photo) and only the rear lugs of the box resting on the brackets. The front lugs are unsupported (see the red arrow in the photo.)
The other annoyance is since the box is resting on the front cross member the bottom of the latches are blocked. In order get your finger under it to unlatch you have to lift the box up. Not a problem if it is empty, but it becomes a real pain when the box is full and boats are above it.
This could probably be solved with 1.5" spacers so the brackets sit a bit higher. Malone should have put more thought into the brackets and the instructions should be re-written to better address the MicroSport trailer.
Very thin for the money, but also lightweight and functional. I store everything I could possibly need for a full day of kayaking with the only exception being my 2-piece paddles.

The storage truck has held up perfectly over the last year. It has been extremely handy to have the extra storage right at the trailer to help with loading & unloading the kayaks and saves trips back & forth from the garage. Having everything readily available in a locked trunk is awesome. This is a must-buy for anyone with a Malone trailer.
