Review of the Rola Railed Cargo Carrier


The dimensions of this are 23x56, which are on the inside of the cargo carrier itself. If you notice the sides actually slant out a little bit to provide a wider area on top, which comes out to almost 59 inches. As you can see here it has a heavy duty expanded metal base to it, this is actually one of the heaviest cargo carriers we carry. Also on the side of the rails it has built-in cut outs in case you want to add a light kit to it. This cargo carrier comes in five pieces. It sounds like a lot but it is actually realy easy to assemble. I will show you the pieces and how it comes. As I said before, it will come to you in five pieces and it is really easy to assemble. You will have a left and right hand side of the basket, two chrome handles, and last piece is the shank itself. You can see the front half of the shank here, and it goes all the way back here to your hitch. This is all a welded one piece unit. You can see here the shank has a two inch rise to it, which really helps vehicles that sit low to the ground.

So if yours does sit low to the ground this will give you a two inch rise that would be helpful to low setting vehicles like minivans. One final feature is a nice little detail if you intend to leave this on your vehicle for an extended period of time, like a road trip, what you need to do is keep your license plate in plain view. As you can see here on the handle itself, there are two holes and these are in perfect alignment to install your license plate temporarily. And in covering some of the features on this cargo carrier, besides from the two inch raise on the shank itself, the whole thing is powder coated so that is going to be durable against rust and corrosion. There is also, as we covered before, an optional light kit that is available for the part. And its carrying capacity itself is 600 pounds. However, you do want to check with your hitch and see what its tongue weight capacity is. And there you have it for part number 59502 from Rola. And also available from Rola is part number 59507 for 1-1/4 inch receivers with a 300 pound capacity.
