Malone TopTier Utility Trailer Load Bar System

Customer Question:

I am looking at purchasing a utility trailer and your Malone TopTier Load Bar System.  This will give me more versatility with the two and allow me to load gear in the trailer when traveling.  Does the upright system come with the load bars and if so what is the width of the cross (load) bars?  I will also need to order two sets of  side or vertical  kayak carriers.  What would you recommend, as I will also be transporting a Canoe as well?

Racks for All Recommendation:

Here is additional detail on the product:

The Malone TopTier Utility Trailer Cross Bar System dramatically increases your utility trailer payload capacity. The TopTier Trailer Load Bar Kit easily installs to any utility trailer with raised side rails. Great for transporting canoes and kayaks. The Malone TopTier is also the perfect solution for contractors needing extra overhead cargo space.

• Galvanized coating provides excellent corrosion resistance
• Standard kit works with both 4 ft. and 5 ft. wide trailer decks
• Overhead clearance for most lawn tractors and ATVs

Surco BT300 with oversize tire?

Customer Question:

Will the Surco BT300 spare tire rack fit on a vehicle with an oversize tire (around 24-30")?

Racks for All Recommendation:

The Surco BT300 attaches through the axle hole in the spare tire, so you should be fine with an oversize tire.  From the product description:

•  Attaches to any spare tire using a heavy duty mounting plate.
