Get your kayak from the garage to the water without wrestling it onto a roof rack.
The Malone EcoLight Single Kayak Trailer is a lightweight, DOT-certified tow-behind built for one mid-to-large recreational or fishing kayak — up to 400 lb.
The frame is marine-grade galvanized steel and fully submersible, so you can back it right down the ramp and float your boat off.
It ships as a complete package with one set of 84 in. padded bunks that cradle both V-hull and pontoon-style hulls, plus a reinforced extra-long tongue, molded fenders, 8 in. high-speed tires on powder-coated rims, and a 2 in. receiver with a lift handle.
Why paddlers choose it:
- 400 lb capacity — one mid-to-large recreational or fishing kayak (also jon boats).
- Made to get wet — marine-grade galvanized steel, fully submersible for ramp launching; built to resist corrosion season after season.
- Easy loading — low 26 in. load height and 84 in. padded bunks make solo loading and unloading simple.
- Highway-ready — DOT and Transport Canada certified, with submersible LED lighting and leaf-spring suspension; rated for travel up to 65 mph with a load.
- Proven build — reinforced tongue, 58 in. steel load bars, molded fenders, 8 in. high-speed tires, 2 in. receiver with lift handle.
- Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year limited warranty.

couples to a standard 2 in. hitch ball (coupler height 14 in.). The trailer is 58 in. wide × 10 ft. 9 in. long and weighs about 145 lb, and it carries a canoe or kayak up to 14 ft. long. Ships unassembled; plan 3–5 hours with common shop tools.
