Malone Kayak Trailers Capable Of Carrying 2 Kayaks Each 34" Wide  

Updated 03/26/2022 | Published 03/25/2022



Question:

How wide of kayaks will this trailer fit? We are looking at two kayaks both around 34inches wide.

Expert Reply:

The crossbars on the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL43FR are 58" long. While the 2 kayaks you are wanting to carry will each be 34" wide that will place the Kayak approximately 6" past the edge of the crossbar on each side with a couple inches between them in the middle. This would be acceptable as it does not hang over the sides that far and the carriers will still be able to be placed where they can support the kayak while driving.

We also have the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks # MAL93FR if you are concerned about your kayaks hanging out past the crossbars.

I do recommend carrying a Spare Tire for Malone EcoLight Trailer # MAL33FR with either trailer you decide to get.
