Video Transcript for GearCage Extra Large Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier with Ramp Review

Today we are going to show you part # 5800200 from Highland. This is part of their Lets Go Aero product line. What we have here is a nice heavy cargo carrier. It does come in kit form and it does require some assembly. It is not too bad. It comes with clear and easy to understand directions. This unit only fits on 2 inch receiver hitches. We will show you the actual measurements from the inside of the cargo carrier. The inside width of the cargo carrier is 32 inches and the inside length is 48 inches. One of the nice features is it has a built in anti-rattle feature which is similar to what you see on high end bike racks. Another nice thing is it has 2 different holes to give you clearance for different types of bumper and hitch combinations. We will go ahead and install our bolt pin, which simply goes in and threads into place.

Run it in as tight as you can and then use a 7/8 inch socket to tighten it up. Once that is tightened down you can install your safety pin. After it is tightened down, you can see it is a pretty tight assembly and actually becomes a part of the truck. It is very generous in the width and depth, basically, so you can haul a variety of different things that you are limited to on smaller cargo carriers. This really lends itself to push behind lawn mowers or rototillers. You do have a tow limit of 300 lbs or whatever your hitch is. Anything up to that you can haul with this cargo carrier. Also getting that material up there is an option ramp kit. This bar can be removed and you can roll your items onto it. That is optional part # 5800300. There you have it for part # 5800200 from Highland. This is part of their Lets Go Aero product line.

Cargo carrier with snow blower I recently received the 5800200 48x32 Gear Cage Extra Large Cargo Carrier with Side Rails for 2" Trailer Hitches that I ordered. I am very pleased with the carrier. It does what I wanted it to do. Attached is a photo showing how my carrier will be used. You can see that the snow blower will not fit in the cargo bay of my truck because of the cap. The Cargo Carrier is a much better solution to the need to transport the snow thrower.4930

This is perfect when you don't want to pull a trailer but you have too much equipment/supplies that just won't fit. It's sturdy and yet manageable. We added a light kit to it for visibility.22834

Well built, rides smooth Bought this rack and the matching bag. Shipped quickly and well packed. I liked the size of this unit as it doesn't block the tailights of my Sequoia when the cargo bag is fully loaded. Assembled easily and is sturdy. The locking bolt system works well and prevents a quick theft (unless someone has a 7/8" socket or wrench handy). We bought the lock also. Fits luggage for four adults and two kids, a pack and play, and a stroller in the companion gear bag and rides like it isn't even there. The solid base keeps road dirt and splatter away better than the units with mesh. We got this rack to avoid towing a trailer when heading to the Northwoods and taking all our stuff with. Nice product!1949




Ask the Experts about this Highland Hitch Cargo Carrier


  • 48x32 GearCage Extra Large Cargo Carrier with Side Rails - Do we carry in 1-1/4 inch shank?
  • The 48x32 GearCage Extra Large Cargo Carrier with Side Rails for 2" Trailer Hitches, part # 5800200, is a very versatile and solidly constructed cargo carrier. Unfortunately, it only comes in a 2-inch shank size. Since your 2009 Kia Rondo has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, you will not be able to use it. But the good news is we have cargo carriers with 1-1/4 hitch openings. I suggest the 20x48 Cargo Carrier For 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 52017. This carrier has tall side rails (5-1

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for Carrying Snow Blower
  • The two carriers are identical, except for the features you mention. The cargo capacity and dimensions are the same for both carriers. Each carrier is rated for a maximum of 300 pounds. This carrier would be a good choice for occasional use with the weight you mention. If the carrier was going to be used to carry a snow blower on a daily basis, I would be more comfortable choosing a carrier with a higher weight capacity. I would recommend the Rage Power Sports Scooter Carrier, part # SC5

  • Clearance for Installation of the GearCage Cargo Carrier
  • The 1/2 inch hole in your receiver is for a J-Pin stabilizing device and is not intended for use as the hitch pin hole. The hitch pin hole in the 48x32 GearCage Extra Large Cargo Carrier with Side Rails for 2 inch Trailer Hitches, item # 5800200, is 5/8 inch and using a smaller pin would introduce instability and loud rattling. You would not be able to use the silent hitch pin that is included with the carrier either. If you measure from the center of your 5/8 inch hitch pin hole to the farthest

  • Do You Carry a Cargo Carrier Like the Highland Gear Cage that Will Fit a 2009 Lincoln MKX
  • Using a hitch extender, in your case probably part # HE06, will reduce the hitch capacity either 50% of hitch capacity or 350 pounds tongue weight, whichever is lower. There are several cargo carriers that will provide enough clearance, but they are not the same shape and size. Most cargo carriers are 20x48, 20x60, 24x60 or something close to those numbers. The Highland GearCage is the only one we carry that is wider than 24 inches. You may like the Rola Railed Cargo Carrier, part # 59502. I

  • How is the Optional Ramp Installed on Gear Cage 48x32 Cargo Carrier
  • One of the end rails is un-bolted and removed and left off. The ramp, part # 5800300, stays on the carrier and uses the old bolt points for the end rail as an attachment point to lock the ramp when not in use. I have included a link to the instructions. If you bought the ramp and carrier, you can omit one of the end rails is step 5 of the instructions. You could also use part # 5801600 which is essentially the cargo carrier and ramp together.

  • What is the Weight or Load Capacity of the Highland Gear Cage 48x32 Cargo Carrier
  • The Highland 48x32 GearCage can hold up to 300 pounds. The carrier itself weighs about 50 pounds and the ramp, part # 5800300, weighs 20. This would yield a total tongue weight of 370 pounds. The htich that you had previously purchased has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. I would make sure that whatever load you are putting on the carrier is 280 pounds or less to ensure you are within the limit of the hitch. Check your vehicle owner manual. If the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle
