Video Transcript for Review of Malone Trailers - Crossbar Conversion Kit - MPG475
Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Malone crossbar conversion kit for your standard utility trailer. Now this kit here will allow you to convert a nice standard utility trailer into a canoe, kayak, bike, or cargo box hauler. This kit allows you to attach these crossbars to your trailer with the included U-bolts and it gives you these 78-inch-long crossbars that'll give you plenty of space for attachment of your accessories. Does include everything shown here on the table. Again, it gives you two 78-inch-long by 1 1/4 inch-square steel-coated load bars with these galvanized cross support tubes.
Now these cross support tubes are built of 11 gauge galvanized steel. Gives you the four U-bolts with the hardware to attach these support tubes to the trailer. It gives you these four black powder-coated D rings. If you notice the holes on each end, right here, you can attach the D rings under to give you a place to tie down your accessories. It does come with these plastic end plugs, and these are designed to install in the ends of the tubes here, right here, here, here, here and the same on the front one.
Those will help seal those tubes to keep the elements or water from getting in there. All the mounting hardware and instructions are included. Now all the brackets and the hardware are galvanized to resist corrosion, provide years of service, and this does have a weight capacity of 400 pounds when the weight is evenly distributed. But that should do it for the review on this Malone crossbar conversion kit for your standard utility trailer..

I was given an old trailer my grandfather built many years ago which he used to haul canoes to the BWCA. I wanted to convert it to be able to haul our 4 kayaks. This conversion kit worked perfectly.
by: Larry 03/21/2024
My conversion kit came today was very happy to get it very, very easy to put together and mount on the my trailer. It also is a very good alternative for someone that's on a budget. Thanks again.

This is an easy, quick and sound way to build a kayak trailer. I have purchased and installed one of threse kits several years ago and it turned out great. This is my second order.
by: Carl 04/26/2024
Have shopped around for something to add to my trailer to carry kayaks. this turned out to be just the thing. the fit is good. I am extremely happy with my choice.

The 2nd shipment sent Kayak rack looks great and installed correctly. My 1st package was received from UPS with a torn box and all the hardware missing.
by: Micheal04/26/2023
I used these on an inexpensive Harbor freight trailer to transport my kayaks. They worked great. I was happy with the e trailer website and have used it over and over for different things over the years . They have a huge selection of parts and give expert advice. Easy peasy purchasing and if necessary, returns. A real asset for guys that like to get their hands dirty building their own stuff.
by: Jeff 03/07/2023
Product installed and it works very well. Product is of very adequate strength and install was very easy. This kit makes a great conversion kit to bring a small utility trailer to the world of a kayak trailer. Also, working with eTrailer is yet again, a pleasure. Good follow up and timely delivery. Thanks!

Excellent product, used an atv trailer to safely transport 4 kayaks. Its low to the ground so no fighting to lift the kayaks. Highly recommend this product.

Following a return from the first order due to missing items, a second delivery included all purchased items.

worked great, allowed me to convert small boat trailer to 4 kayak hauling trailer.
by: Troy05/20/2021
Need more information on exact size of materials and installation instructions. It would not fit my trailer cross bar. Recommend creating slightly larger U bolts or an option to order Ubolts in different sizes.
by: DOT08/14/2023
Fast deliver and product was exactly as described.
by: Doug03/26/2022
I need to install it on my Malone trailer. I believe the quality will be fine.
by: Edgar06/13/2018
Received packaged with end caps of load bars missing. Unable to install front support bar on the V of the trailer frame (brackets too short) as per instructions. Called Malone - product only for general use & I have to get additional bracket, etc.. The end caps promised to be mailed.
Conclusion - expect to do some modification/additional hardware to install.
by: Serge05/13/2021
I bought this to convert a jet ski trailer. It does what it’s meant to do, well built and is very solid. It’s a bit time consuming to assemble and remove if you want to use your trailer for something else. Best suited for a permanent installation.
by: Daniel06/02/2021
They were exactly what I needed. Great customer service and fast shipping. Holds two kayaks on my refurbished jet ski trailer.
by: Mike 08/03/2022

- Using Malone MegaWing Kayak Carrier on Trailer to Secure Old Town Fishing Kayak The Malone MegaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG207 referenced in your question is a great option for your Old Town Fishing Kayak that weighs around 120 pounds. The MegaWing is made specifically for heavier fishing kayaks like this and its 150 pound weight capacity is more than enough to safely support it. The carrier is designed to mount to a couple of crossbars that are up to 4-1/4 inches wide so you will need to fabricate a rack to mount to your trailer's frame or you can use something like...

This kit attaches to the trailer floor, not the side rails which we don't have any options for. If this won't work, please send a photo of the trailer so I can better assist.
view full answer... - Availability of Conversion Kit to Adapt Utility Trailer to Malone Crossbars/Kayak CarrierSounds like you are looking for the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit part # MPG475.

These are 4" long from the inside of the U to the end of the threads. They can be used in place of the U-Bolts that came with the Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit # MPG475. You will need 2 sets of the Square U-Bolts # 381344UB since they come as a pair.
view full answer... - Can the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer Carry Rooftop AccessoriesI do have an option for you but the bunk boards on the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer part # CE48870 would be much too large for use with rooftop mount accessories.

view full answer... - What is Weight Capacity of Malone Crossbar Conversion Kit for Standard Utility Trailer MPG475The weight capacity for the set of crossbars part # MPG475 is 165 lb so it wouldn't have the capacity for the 210 lbs you mentioned.
