Features to know about

Effortless Hauling of Large Items: Extra-Wide Platform

Transporting oversized items like scooters, lawnmowers, or snowblowers can be a hassle, but not with this cargo carrier. The 32" x 48" platform is designed to accommodate large and unwieldy loads, giving you the space you need to haul bulky equipment. It's perfect for those who need the extra room on road trips, making it a practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts and weekend warriors alike.

Enhanced Safety and Stability: Angled Shank for Better Ground Clearance

Say goodbye to worries about scraping the ground on bumpy roads. The cleverly designed angled shank elevates the platform, providing better ground clearance and making loading and unloading much smoother. This is especially useful on uneven terrain or when dealing with extra-long or heavy loads.

Ultimate Durability and Longevity: Rugged Steel Construction with Corrosion-Resistant Finish

Whether you’re dealing with rain, snow, or mud, this carrier is built to withstand the elements. Crafted from rugged steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant black powder finish, it holds a weight capacity of up to 400 lbs and promises long-lasting durability. Take any road with confidence, knowing that this carrier can handle whatever nature throws your way.

Convenient and Secure Loading: Integrated Tie-Down Points

For those who often travel with gear, integrated tie-down points add an extra layer of security by allowing you to secure your load effectively. It's an essential feature for ensuring that your cargo stays put, even on the roughest routes.

Versatile and Flexible Use: Pre-Drilled License Plate Relocation and Lighting Options

Sometimes your cargo may block the vehicle's tail lights or license plate, but with pre-drilled holes for license plate relocation and optional light kit compatibility, this carrier offers a flexible solution to these common issues. Keep your load legal and visible at all times without any additional fuss.

Effortless Clean-Up: Easy-to-Clean Mesh Bottom

Post-adventure cleanup doesn't have to be a chore. The mesh bottom design makes the carrier easy to clean, allowing debris to fall through and making rinsing off dirt or mud a breeze. It's the ideal feature for those unexpected messy trips, ensuring you spend more time on the road and less time tidying up.

Assembly took all of 5 minutes and the rack works great!

Hey this platform is sick!! Honda snowblower on it with LED lights!!

Well buil and-just what I needed. Great service and prompt delivery.
Thanks ETrailer !



by:

Excellent serviceI ordered the Pro Series because of the extra wide dimension. The customer service was awesome. I received an email informing me that the order was received, another one that the order had shipped, and another email informing me that the product was delivered. Very easy to put together, no more that 5 minutes. Very sturdy product at a very good price.



by:

Had a hard time getting the pin in, through the hitch, by myself.
Shipping time was great. Putting it together was easy.



by:

Great cargo basket. Easy to assemble and install on vehicle. etrailer service was excellent. Would definitely recommend the product and etrailer to a friend.



by:

The 2" SHANK is too large. Unfortunately I used a hammer to install the SHANK onto a standard 2" receiver. I was very disappointed in this item. Don't buy it. It might have fit, if they didn't paint it or had the fabricated bends in the SHANK that goes into the 2" receiver. Time for QC. Hope I can get it off my vehicle. Don't take it out on Etrailer...they try to do the right thing regarding customer service.

Is this an isolated case or have additional complaints been received?

As far as we know, it was an isolated event. This review was from July of 2012 and we have seen a number of reviews since then without mention of this issue. In all likelidhood, this is a case of tolerance stack. The hitch opening is on the smallest end of the acceptable tolerances and the shank is on the largest end. Or if the paint is on the thick side, it could be enough to cause difficulty.


by:

I purchased this product to transport my fish house. It works great! Customer service was excellent with speedy shipping. I highly recommend this product and etrailer.com



by:

Excellent product; the depth of the cargo carrier is second to none, and I've loaded it up plenty with 300+ lbs, and it handles in no problem. The price is great too.



by:

I bought this so I could take my e-trike camping with me. This carrier hooked into my motorhome easily. My trike traveled safely on the carrier and I was able to enjoy riding it while camping. Great purchase. Would buy again!



by:

Hitch works well to transport Lectric trike on back of Class C motorhome. Added magnetic hauling lights plugged into trailer towing plug to corners for additional safety.



by:

The hitch has worked great. I use it for hunting my deer cart fits on it nicely and so do the deer.



by:

This rack works well and I have not experienced any issues to this point. Only comment is I wish it was a foot longer to accommodate an etrike bike.



by:

Looks good -simple instructions-
Definitely pleased -thanks again



by:

I only gave an average rating because the carrier was not easy to assemble without slight modification. The bolt holes for assembly were blocked by the steel mesh. I cut the mesh that covered several of the holes with a rotary disc cutter.

I will share this information with the manufacturer as this is an unusual case.



by:

The carrier worked great on the backof my wife's SUV. She carried an electric recumbant trike and it fit well. Had to let some air out of the two front wheels to fit inside the lip, but traveled well across the country.It is heavy, which of course is good and bad, and makes it difficult to place in receiver by yourself.



by:

Works great!! Very solid.



by:

Does what I expected.2010 FJ Cruiser. Assemble was very easy. The problem with past posts of getting the bolts to pass thru the wire mesh has been fixed as well as the reflective tape. Great job on delivery. I will use this cargo carrier for travel and when out surf fishing. The wagon I have will just fit on this carrier and make getting to the beach and back a cleaner experience.



by:

Purchased this to carry an e-trike on the front of my truck. It was the only one I could find that would accommodate the 30" width of the trikes rear wheels.

This has been one of the most useful upgrades Ive done. Very happy with the quality and strength.



by:

Great product, well made and delivered on time! Thanks guys.



by:

Etrailer had the best price, free shipping, and it arrived faster than they estimated!



by:

After some searching this was the answer to our need. I did some modifications to accommodate our 2 folding tadpole trikes and the total weight of the trikes and rack is still more than 50 lb's below the listed capacity. We have driven in 4 states with no problem.



by:

Product is exactly as expected, very good quality, easy to assemble and serves the purpose I bought it for.
I simply used a device to prevent rattling and it works great.
I can also still open the trunk on a Atlas with some cargo on it which makes things very convenient.
I would recommend w/o any hesitation.

  • Can Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 Be Used at Rear of 5th Wheel Trailer
    Hey Richard, so the Reese cargo carrier part # PS1040100 would be a great option at the rear of a fifth wheel trailer. Unlike bike racks cargo carriers don't have the explicit "can or cannot be used at rear of trailer" rating but what we have found when we have called them is that they strongly recommend using the ones that are not folding like this Reese carrier so it would work well for you.

  • Is it Better to Use a Hitch Cargo Carrier or Roof Cargo Carrier for a 2015 Honda Odyssey
    You are correct that there are definite advantages of hitch cargo carriers over roof cargo carriers. You will have less drag improving your gas mileage and you won't have to reach up to the roof of your vehicle each time you load or unload. The biggest upsides you will find from the roof cargo carriers is accessing the cargo and of course the cost difference for the amount of cargo you can carry. A good hitch cargo carrier is the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Slide...

  • Which Front Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Coachman Freelander RV with E-350 Chassis
    It looks like the 2012 Coachman Freelander RV was built on an E350 chassis, so you'll want to use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 65053, which is designed to fit on the front of the E-350 RV chassis. This is a custom fit hitch designed specifically for this vehicle that has a 500-lbs vertical load limit, so you'll want to be sure that your scooter and carrier stay under that weight combined. If you need a carrier for the scooter as well, the 32x48 Reese...

  • Is There A 60x60 Hitch Carrier With A Ramp For My 2 Scooters?
    Hey Sue, The largest hitch cargo carrier we have with a ramp is going to be part # EM34JV. This is going to be a 30-1/2" wide x 50" long carrier with a 47" long ramp. WE do not have anything that is a 60x60 so this is going to be the biggest option we have. It has a 400lb capacity on it which should work well for scooters. Do you need the full 60x60 space or how much would you need to make your scooters fit?

  • Can Ball Mount Be Attached to Hollow Tube on Reese Cargo Carrier PS1040100
    Hey Carolyn, that's a good question, because it definitely looks like that open receiver at the end of the Reese Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 could be used for an additional accessory or ball mount, but unfortunately looks are deceiving in this case. This carrier isn't built to add anything like that to it, it just happens to have a hollow square tube running down the center. One alternate option if your trailer has an A-Frame is to use the Stromberg Carlson Tray # CC-255 for the generator....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2015 Lincoln MKZ
    For your 2015 Lincoln MKZ, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24897. Unlike the Curt model that is also confirmed to fit your vehicle, the installation of this hitch will allow you to trim and reinstall the underbody panel/fascia for accommodation with the hitch receiver and crosstube. On the Curt model, this panel is completely removed and cannot be reinstalled. This Class I hitch will use existing holes in your Lincoln's frame for a no-drill installation....

  • Can the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier Be Used on a Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer
    Yes, the 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # PS1040100 can be used with your 2017 Keystone Cougar Travel Trailer. You are going to need a trailer hitch to use this cargo carrier so you'd need to add one with # C13702 if you don't already have one or you can just use the 24x40 etrailer Cargo Carrier for RV Bumper # e99050 instead which will bolt up to your bumper.

The Curt comes with 50-1/4" long x 30-7/8" wide x 3-3/4" tall internal dimensions. The ramp is fully collapsible so that you can fold the carrier up against the rear for storage. As far as weight capacity, the carrier has a max capacity of 500 pounds. It is important to note that the length of the shank measures 7-1/4 inches from the center...

  • Best Cargo Carrier for Generator on an RV
    I would love to help but finding a cargo carrier with everything you need is going to be an extremely difficult task. The main issue is going to be size/weight. Most cargo carriers that can accommodate the 27.6" depth of your generator are not going to be under 50 lbs. Also, only cargo carriers with a fixed shank can be used on the back of an RV due to the added stress. Therefore, the only cargo carrier we offer that will allow you to carry the Honda EU7000iS Inverter Generator on the...

Pro Series carrier # PS1040100 has useable platform dimensions of 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide so it would have more than enough space for your generator.

    Given the dimensions you mentioned I think you are referring to a cargo carrier rather than an actual trailer. We do have a couple options for you. The 32x48 Reese Solo Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 or the 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier # PS10401-10402 if you want a ramp to make loading your trike easier. Both of these are 32" wide and 48" long.

This cargo carrier is approved to withstand the added force/torque on the back of your fifth wheel camper. We've had many neighbors who have given this carrier rave review when used on a trailer.

  • Recommended Cargo Carrier for RV to Carry Liberty Electric Tricycle
    I'll start off by saying that because of the extra movement that can occur at the rear of an RV, you can only use a cargo carrier with a solid shank in the receiver on the back of your 2005 Class C on a Sprinter chassis; this also means that you're not going to be able to find a cargo carrier with a shank rise. I have a solution, but the Stromberg Carlson # CC-100 is only 23" inside to inside, so I think it's going to be a tad bit too small. I recommend using the Reese Solo Cargo Carrier...

This carrier weighs approximately 70-lbs and will fit in your 2" hitch receiver and is 47-3/4" long x 31-3/4" wide x 2-3/4" deep long when measured inside the rails with the ramp folded up.

    I believe I have a solution for you but most likely the 32x48 Pro Series Solo Steel Cargo Carrier # PS1040100 that you referenced would interfere with your door opening due to the 4 inches of rise the shank has. You should check out the etrailer Hitch Cargo Carrier # e98874. I has a 19-1/2" distance from the hitch pin hole to the carrier and has a tilting feature.

  • Does the 200 lb Tongue Weight Capacity of Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Apply to Hitch Accessories
    Tongue weight represents the maximum amount of downward force that can be safely suspended from the hitch, whether it be tongue load applied from a trailer coupler, or a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray like the # PS1040100 you looked at. In the case of your hitch, the weight of the cargo carrier plus whatever is loaded on it could not exceed 200 lbs.
