You may be able to use the accessories you already use on your Thule Aero roof rack on the Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LB. You will need to verify if your accessories will fit on the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" square bars on the trailer. If you are unsure please let me know what attachments you have and I can help verify if they will fit. You can also contact the manufacturer of your accessories as well as they can help you with crossbar fitment and let you know if they manufacturer any kits to switch the mounts.
