Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes

MPG461G2 In Use

This lightweight trailer with J-style cradles let you transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. Lightweight carriers secure your boat on its side, taking up less space and preventing boat-to-boat contact. With a 7-1/2' 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.


MAL98FR folding, j-style cradle

Folding, J-style kayak carriers with soft padding on the base and upright arms prevent scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. Folding arms stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain.


Submersible LED Trailer Lights

MPG535 LED taillights

The DOT-approved taillights 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 taillight 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.


Plug-and-Play Trailer Wiring

CE48870 main harness to 4-way

The wiring for this trailer has a simple plug-and-play design, so it doesn't require any 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 taillight harness into the main harness.


CE48870 4-way plug

Run the wires of the taillight harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the taillights. The wires are color-coded so that you can easily match them up - no circuit tester is required. Once all of the wires are plugged in, 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.

  • Availability of Extra J-Style Cradles for Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer
    Although there are no direct replacements for the J-style carriers that come with the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL93FR, I do have a solution for you. For an extra carrier, I recommend the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style # MPG117MD. These J-style cradles are also used on the Malone MicroSport # MPG461G2. The MicroSport and the EcoLight have the same 1-1/4" crossbars so the J-Pro2 will also fit on your EcoLight. I have attached an image showing these installed...

  • How Tall Are the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carriers
    The Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier part # MPG117MD which comes with the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG461G2 are 16-1/2" tall. If you need more clearance then you may consider swapping out the Malone J-Pro2 Kayak Carrier with the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier part # MPG114MD which are only 5" tall while folded. I have attached a review video of the Malone DownLoader Kayak Carrier for you.

  • Easily Loading and Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2017 GMC Denali XL
    A roof rack is required first and if you are looking to ease the loading, a lift assist would be important too. The Yukon XL roof weight limit is 150 pounds so that is important in selecting rails, loading 2 kayaks, and their carriers. Yakima makes a solid roof rack option with their 66" roof rack system including parts # Y00410, # Y53TR, # Y03536, # Y00243 A side loading kayak carrier such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 would help you a great deal loading kayaks.

  • Trailer Recommendation for Transporting Kayaks
    We do offer trailers that have kayak racks installed on them to make transporting kayaks easy. For a trailer with J-style carriers designed for carrying up to 4 kayaks we have the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Pro Kayak Carriers # MPG462G2 or if you only need to carry 2 kayaks we have the 2 kayak version part # MPG461G2. These come with straps needed to secure the kayaks as well so you'd only need the trailers and you'd be ready to go.

If your vehicle is rated to tow a trailer, the Malone MicroSport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs, part # MPG461G2, is a viable option.

  • Choosing Between A V Rack And A J Rack For A Malone Kayak Trailer
    I recommend the V-Racks or horizontal kayak racks that allow your kayak to lay flat on it's belly. They are easy to load and are lower profile when loaded so less wind resistance is generated. They can also accommodate the heavier, wider fishing kayaks if that applies now or in their future kayak purchases. The Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MPG461GS is a great example. J-style are popular but can also be more difficult to load and are less wind resistant with a higher...

  • Can Hullavator and J-Style Carrier be Used to Carry Two 40 lb Kayaks on a 2003 Honda Odyssey
    We do have an option for you to use a roof rack to carry your kayaks but I am unsure as to the weight capacity of the roof of your 2003 Honda Odyssey. The Inno roof rack that we carry has a weight capacity of 140 lbs which would allow you to use the Hullavator # TH898 and the Hull-A-Port # TH834, but if your roof itself doesn't have a weight capacity of at least 135 (weight of the kayaks and both carriers combined) then you will be overloading your roof.

  • Recommended Parts To Tow Malone Kayak Trailer With 2020 Hyundai Kona Limited
    I recommend Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11529 which is designed for the 2020 Hyundai Kona as long as it is not the all electric model. There is no drilling required for installation so it is a straight forward install. However, the hitch has Class I a 1-1/4" receiver tube so the bike rack must be compatible with Class I hitches and have a 1-1/4" shank. The tongue weight rating of the hitch is 200 lbs so you want to be sure not to exceed that with the Malone trailer. If your bike...

  • Will Two Thule Hullavator Pro Carriers Fit on a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe?
    The Hullavator is a very popular kayak carrier due to its awesome load-assist function. Many have asked if they can load two on their vehicle, but it's a rare few that can do so as it would require at least 57" crossbar length and a strong roof weight capacity to carry the heavy carriers and the kayaks. One would have to consider the roof rack weight plus the almost 80 lbs of the two carriers plus the kayak weight. For your 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, you have a roof weight capacity of 220...

  • MicroSport Trailer with Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2-Hobie PA 14 Kayaks
    I really like the J-style kayak carriers like what the Malone Microsport Trailer part # MPG461G2 has. I attached a picture that shows this trailer carrying wider kayaks for you to check out as well. If you'd prefer they lay totally flat the SaddleUp style part # MPG461GU could work but I'd still rather recommend the J-style.

  • Can you Carry 2 Kayaks on the Roof of a 2018 Toyota Sienna
    I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the Thule Hullavator Pro, part # TH898, won't work with your setup. Though the space works out for you, but the weight does not. The weight limit of your 2018 Toyota Sienna's roof is, in fact, 150 pounds. Your two kayaks together weigh 135 pounds, and the etrailer J-Style Carrier, part # e98878, weighs 10 pounds for a total of 145 pounds. That means you only have 5 more pounds for another carrier, and the Hullavator weighs 40 pounds. Unfortunately,...

    To carry a pair of kayaks and that large of a canoe with your 2000 Chevy Suburban you are going to need a roof rack and trailer. The roof rack that will work for your vehicle depends on if it has the factory installed raised rails that run front to back or the factory installed tracks, and please be sure to look in your owner's manual to determine if your roof can handle the weight capacity of your canoe. If your Suburban has the raised side rails and is NOT the Z71 model, the roof rack...

  • Will the Draw-Tite # 24935 be Good for Towing a Small Trailer with a 2015 Scion FR-S
    The Draw-Tite # 24935 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Scion FR-S and has a tongue weight rating of 200 lbs and a gross towing weight of 2,000 lbs so the hitch itself would be able to handle a small trailer like the Malone MicroSport # MPG461G2. To complete a towing setup for your Scion FR-S you would need wiring like the Tekonsha T-One # 118629, a ball mount like the Draw-Tite # 3593, and a hitch ball like the 1-7/8" # 19256 or 2" # 19258.

    The Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Kayaks # MPG461G2 that you referenced comes with straps that will securely hold kayaks to the carriers. They would definitely not fall out on the highway. Aerodynamics of the trailer are really great too as the tow vehicle basically will punch a hole in the wind as you are driving which this then follows through without creating much wind resistance. The trailer won't sway either. It's very stable actually. There isn't a specific scenario that this trailer...

For that we have the etrailer.com hitch part # E98856 which will fit and work well. That said we are aware that the roof of Jeep Wranglers really weren't designed to carry much weight.

  • Will EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Fit a 2016 Kia Sorento with Full Size Spare
    I spoke with my contact at EcoHtch and they said that since they only test fit the trailer hitch # 306-X7320 with the OEM spare tire (donut) they wouldn't be able to confirm if it will fit the larger tire that you have. The other trailer hitches, like the etrailer.com # E98843, have more of a width issue but since the EcoHitch has a higher crossmember I believe that the larger diameter of your spare will be an issue.

The weight of the roof rack, two kayaks, two kayak carriers, and cargo box would almost certainly exceed the vehicles roof capacity. I wish I could help you carry...
