Lightweight Trailer is Perfect for Hauling Kayaks or Canoes

MPG464-LBB In Use

This lightweight and low-profile trailer with padded bunks lets you transport your favorite kayaks or canoes. Because of the trailer's low-profile design, the crossbars sit only 22" off the ground. The lower crossbars provide a safe height to load heavy kayaks and help avoid unnecessary overhead lifting.


With a 7-1/2' 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.


MPG561 underside bunk

Heavy-duty bunks stabilize your boat and prevent movement while traveling on uneven or rough terrain. They can be adjusted to accomdate different size hulls and eliminate boat-to-boat contact. The bunks durable padding prevents scuffs, scratches, or damage to your boat during transport. To prevent mold or mildew, the bunks have weather-resistant covers to repel moisture and water.


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.


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 tail light harness into the main harness.


CE48870 4-way plug

Run the wires of the tail light harness along the sides of the trailer frame and plug the individual wires into the matching wires on the side marker lights and the tail lights. 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.

Great trailer for the price I paid and easy to assembly.



by:

No issues with the trailer and I put it together without help (not bad for a 5’0 woman). Now if I could just learn to back it into the launch lol.



by:

Have used the trailer a few times and I am well pleased with how it performs.
I wanted something that made it easy to transport our kayaks and this fit the
need. Our kayaks were easy to load and transport, if you need an easy way to get your kayak to the water this will fill your needs



by:

This is the best purcchase I could have made.I'm only sorry I didn't do it sooner. I was worried that the crossbars would be to wide but they are not. I'm in my 60s and only 5ft tall so getting a kayak on the roof of my car just isn't happening(all the dents and sractches). If you have any thoughts about bying this just do it.



by:

Great versatile trailer! Easy to tow my kayaks or two 17 foot aluminum canoes, with my Subaru Forester. Trailer can easily be moved around manually, and I was able to put it together in a few hours with the supplied directions. A great product from a great dealer.



by:

Easier and faster to load Kayaks vs car roof. Works well as Kayak storage in the winter. Assembly was reasonably straightforward, although it takes some hours.



by:

Easy to assemble, have confidence it will last for years and years.



by:

This trailer is a rock star. Loading/unloading our kayaks has never been easier. We added some SeaWing kayak carriers to this trailer and they absolutely keep the kayaks secure. We tow this behind our Honda HRV all over the great State of WA without issue. So rather than struggle with loading/unloading your kayak(s) from the roof of your car, buy this trailer. It makes life a helluva lot easier Yes, you need to assemble it, but the video is crystal clear with good directions.
We bought everything from e-trailer.com for this:
The trailer hitch mount, 2” ball assembly, wiring harness, SeaWing carriers, storage box, etc….



by:

Great trailer overall but the tie down system is very difficult to figure out and to use.



by:

Outstanding trailer! Easy to assemble and works perfectly! Will never roof top a kayak again!



by:

We are very happy we chose the Malone low bed kayak trailer. It arrived very well packaged, with clear instructions that made assembly a fun project. We purchased the 800lb version with 12" wheels as we felt it would tow better than the lighter option. It has proven to be well worth the price for the convenience of never having to load the roof rack again. Now our kayaks are ready to roll whenever we are. Usual great customer service from etrailer as well.



by:

This is a fabulous product! Assembly was easy, and it served us well last season with our two 14-foot kayaks. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that six of the tiny lights in one of the red taillights went out after several uses. I haven't replaced the light yet as it still has working lights, but eventually I'll have to buy a new light fixture and splice in into the wireing harness.



by:

Bought the LowBed MicroSport specifically for my Blue Sky Boat Works Angler 360 kayak. Trailer works great! It's lower and makes getting the kayak on and off easier. Had no issues with the trailer assembly. LED lights work great. After one year I'm very happy I bought this trailer.

Only one issue otherwise a great trailer for my Blue Sky Boat Works Angler 360. The issue is 3 of the individual tail light LEDs have failed. To eTrailer support, does this require a whole tail light replacement or just the 3 individual LEDs?

@Michael Hello Michael, because of how the lights are made, the whole light assembly will need to be replaced. I am happy to send you warranty instructions if you want.

Nice trailer, easy to put together except it, being the low bed cane with directions for the high bed. But Etrailef send me the pdf for the low bed.

This trailer is used to move two 80-pound kayaks around. It works great and after 1 year there have been no issues. I have taken it on several long, over 2,000-mile trips. I did upgrade the tires to a higher speed rating.



by:

Well it finally came in over two months after ordering due to MFG back orders I have finally assembled the trailer and all my friends think it’s great. I have been roof top kayaking for many years but the constant loading unloading and reloading and unloading back home was starting to make me loose my joy of kayaking. Now with this trailer I hope to keep kayaking into my 90’s. And no back pain.

Excellent product!! Excellent, fast se rvice!!

Always great service ! Any problems and they step up making things right. Highly recommend Etrailer

  • Can Cargo Box and Bike Rack Fit on a Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer
    Hey Tanya, thanks for reaching out! To tow your trailer you'll need a ball mount with a 2" rise and for that I recommend going with the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # e38NR. This gives you a 2-3/4" rise but that will still work for your application. The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR can accommodate the Malone Pilot Trailer Bike Rack # MPG2100, but while the Storage Trunk # MPG481 will physically be able to fit inside the frame of your trailer, I don't believe you'll be able to...

    We can piece together a Malone Lowbed trailer by first starting with the part # MPG464-LB and then a single bunk kit part # MPG561 and then the spare kit part # MPG465 and you'd be set. There isn't a kit with just the parts you are looking for available at this time.

  • Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer MAL25FR - What Is Max Kayak Width When Carrying Two?
    Hello Lori, good question. The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR comes with 78" crossbars, so it can easily accommodate most sizes of fishing kayak. Most fishing kayaks are between like 30"-40" wide. Depending on where you place the bunks, the kayaks could be upwards of 40" wide or even more and still fit on the trailer. What kind of fishing kayaks do you have? How wide are they? We have one of these kayak trailers that we use here around the shop from time to time, and I have...

  • Can The Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Be Backed Into Water To Launch A Kayak
    Hey Drew, Yakima does not recommend backing the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 into the water because the bearings are sealed and water could end up ruining the hubs. This trailer is more so designed just for getting your kayaks/accessories to your destination and not intended for use launching your kayaks. The Malone kayak trailers you mentioned are marine-grade and would be capable of being backed into the water to easily launch and recover your kayaks. We offer a crossbar-style...

  • Replacement Hub for a Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer MAL25FR
    Yes, it will Jason. The CE Smith Trailer Hub Assembly w/ Carrying Case for 2,700-lb Axles item # CE13311 will indeed replace the hub on the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer item # MAL25FR. This hub comes pre-greased with pre-installed bearings and is ready to install. It is sold individually. Why are you needing to replace a hub?

  • Trailer Recommendation for Transporting 16 Foot Long Kayak
    Hey Bruni, the Malone LowBed MicroSport part # MAL25FR would be a great option that can carry a kayak up to 20 feet in length. This can carry up to two kayaks but you could use just a single set of bunks for your boat. How heavy is your kayak? This has an 800 lb weight capacity.

  • Converting Malone MicroSport Heavy Kayak Trailer To a LowBed For Easier Loading and Unloading Kayaks
    Yes, the Malone MicroSport to LowBed Trailer Conversion Support Tubes # MAL33TR will allow you to transform your MicroSport Trailer # MPG461B2 into the LowBed # MAL25FR. This will make it much easier to load your kayaks or possibly we launch them depending on the boat ramp.

  • Differences between the MAL25FR and the MPG46B2
    The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR and Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461B2 are very similar as they are both built on the same platform. This allows them to both carry the same weight and size kayaks. The # MPG461B2 has a 30" height to the crossbar. The extra height allows for the spare tire to be moved back farther on the trailer to reduce tongue weight. You can also store additional gear below the crossbars such as your paddles and fishing poles. You can use the Fishing...

  • Additional Bunk Kit for Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer for a Heavy Kayak # MAL73FR
    It sounds like you are wanting to add the Bunk Kit for Malone Trailers # MPG561 to the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL73FR to carry 2 kayaks. We do have the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks # MAL25FR that will include the bunks for 2 kayaks and is rated for 800lbs of gear versus the 400lbs with the EcoLight trailer. This trailer also places the bunks lower making it easier to load and off load your kayaks.

  • Recommended Malone XtraLight LowMax trailer for Two Old Town Sportsman Fishing Kayaks
    Your Old Town Sportsman 136 kayak is 158 lbs, so for two of them I recommend the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR. This comes with the kayak bunks for 2 kayaks and has the crossbars with integrated d-rings. This has a per boat restriction of 25 lbs where the similar Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 13' Long - 800 lbs # MPG461GS has a per boat restriction of 150 lbs based on the capacity of the kayak carriers. This kayak trailer is rated for speeds up to 70 mph.

  • Can The Malone LowBed Kayak Trailer Use The Retractable Tongue Kit # MPG494
    Hey Russ, The only difference between the LowBed MicroSport # MAL25FR and MicroSportXT # MPG460XT is the load bar support beams. The beams are longer for the XT giving it a taller height, whereas the low bed has shorter supports. You'd be able to use the Retractable Tongue Kit for Malone MicroSport Trailers # MPG494 on the LowBed # MAL25FR, but we don't currently offer the shorter support tubes to convert the MicroSportXT # MPG460XT to a LowBed model. Since these just clamp on you could...

    According to Malone, the correct replacement bearings for your Malone MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR are the # L44649. If you would like the bearing kit that includes the inner and outer bearing, along with the grease seal and races, then we have the # BK1-150. Depending on what you specifically want for replacement part options, we also have the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-2K which includes everything you need for a complete replacement.

  • Will Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks Work with Old Town Sportsman 106's
    The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks part # MAL25FR should work well for your two Old Town Sportsman 106 Kayaks. They both fall under the weight (225 lbs per boat) and length (20' per boat) requirements so you won't have any issues.

  • Will The Malone Storage Trunk Fit The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer With Bunk Boards For Kayak?
    The Storage Trunk # MPG481 will not work with the LowBed MicroSport # MAL25FR as the bunks sit too low on the trailer. Instead you will want the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG461B2 or if you already have the LowBed you can use the Crossbar Conversion Kit # MPG475 to raise your crossbars so the storage trunk will fit and be able to remove the lid under the bunk boards to store your gear.

  • Fit of Hobie Mirage Outback Kayaks on Malone MAL25FR LowBed MicroSport Trailer
    The crossbars of the Malone # MAL25FR LowBed MicroSport trailer are 78 inches in length. From what I found online, the Hobie Mirage Outback kayaks are about 34 inches wide which would provide plenty of room as the bunks are width adjustable and can be moved side to side as needed. The 100 lb weight of each fully rigged kayak would fall well within the capacity of the trailer, so there'd be no worries there. As for rollers, you could use bunk rollers like # CE27700 which could be mounted...

  • Will the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer Be Stable With 1 Kayak Loaded
    Yes the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR will still be stable even with just your larger fishing kayak loaded but it is still recommended to keep your load as even as possible. Most of the weight of your load will be between the tires. To be even more cautious you could adjust your bunks to be more centered even though it would be slightly time consuming.

  • Weights of Malone MicroSport & LowBed Microsport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks
    Excellent question, so I took a look and it turns out the "1" and "7" were backwards, so it should have been 217 lbs, which I verified with Malone. So here are the weights for both trailers: - 217 lbs: Malone MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks # MPG461B2 - 197 lbs: Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer for 2 Heavy Kayaks - 7' Bunks # MAL25FR

    You won't have any problem setting out for adventure with your fishing kayaks on the Malone # MAL25FR LowBed MicroSport Trailer! Your two kayaks weigh 179 pounds total and the LowBed MicroSport has a 800 pound capacity so you can pack on even more. Each of your kayaks are 33.75" which will both fit easily on the 78" wide crossbars. Also, the LowBed MicroSport supports boats up to 20' and since yours are less than 13', this too will be no problem. You will be able to tie down your kayaks...

  • Recommended Roadside Jack For Malone MicroSport Trailer
    I recommend the Powerbuilt Unijack # ALL620470 as this jack will easily slide underneath the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MAL25FR. It also has a safety bar that will lock in place unlike other hydraulic jacks that mechanically prevents it from lowering while you are working on the trailer. This will lift up to 4,000lbs between 8-5/8" and 18-3/8" high. The Fulton Bolt-Thru Swivel Marine Jack # FXP10 would require you to bolt it to the trailer frame and the hardware included may...
