So, you've got a mobility scooter, wheelchair, or other heavy objects that are wheeled such as our generator here, and you need to get it to your destination. You should look into the MaxxTow Wheelchair Carrier. The included ramp makes it easy to get those objects up on it without breaking your back. Compared to your standard cargo carriers, you're gonna like the extra size of this one. With 50 inches across, 30 inches deep, and six and a half inches tall, you're gonna have ample space for all of your heavy equipment. The interior dimensions are gonna measure 48 inches by 28 inches, and five inches.
The raised side walls are gonna keep all of your items contained as well as provide many a tie down points all the way around. We're using eTrailer's Cam Buckle Tie Downs to keep our generator secure. There are plenty of openings here and here, and you could even use the rails or the openings in the slots at the bottom.There's reflectors on each side so you can be sure that your large objects that may be blocking the back of your vehicle, you'll still be able to be seen at night. Another thing that really sets this apart from your standard cargo carriers is its 60 inch ramp. It's super easy to operate.
There's two pins, one on each side on the side rails. We'll pull those out, and there are two more pins on the back of the ramp here that allows it to get that extra length. We'll pull those out. We can take the handle and set it down. That 60 inches is gonna give you a gradual slope, making it super easy to load and unload your objects.
Without breaking a sweat, that extremely heavy generator is off of there. The carrier has a 500 pound capacity, so even your largest scooters are gonna be able to go on here with no problem.With our generator removed, we can show you some other neat things. The floor here is a nice mesh, which will allow it to drain easily so you don't have to worry about any dirt and debris buildup on it, and if it's raining out, the water will run right off whatever you're hauling, and right out. It'll also help you keep your car clean because if you've got some dirty objects you need to haul, you can just toss them back here and keep that dirt out of your car. When not in use, the whole thing folds up.
The ramp will fold up. It can then be folded in half and stowed neatly inside. Here we can reinsert our pins to ensure that it doesn't come unfolded. Once you've got your side pins attached, we can go back and attach the pins at the bottom of our ramp here.To further reduce the imprint of the back of your vehicle, the whole thing folds up. We'll remove the pin here at the pivot point, turn it up, reinsert the pin, and then the clip. This will be great when you're not hauling anything and you want to pull it in your garage and shut the door. When you're driving around parking lots or parking, you don't have to worry about having any kind of collision. We've got a nasty day here with all this snow. You're probably wondering how it holds up to road salt and grime. Well with it's sturdy steel construction and black powder coat finish, it's gonna be highly resistant, so it won't be a concern.Now, we've got a few measurements for you to help you determine how it's gonna fit on your vehicle. From the center of our hitch pin hole to the closest point when folded down, it's gonna measure about 14 inches. When it's in our upright folded position, from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest point it's gonna be about four and three quarter inches. As you can see here with our truck it is pretty darn close, but we're still gonna be all right. With all this extra weight, you're probably wondering how it holds up in your hitch. Well, its anti rattle system helps keep it nice and secure. The four bolts in the bottom here, it's right into the collar, which presses up against your hitch and your carrier, keeping it nice and secure. Let's see it in action and take it our on our test course.On our test course, we'll take it over some bumps so you can see how it'll handle on rough and uneven surfaces, then into our inaudible 00:04:43 so you can see how it handles under our basic maneuvers. Our customers use this product for a wide variety of things. One of our customers, Kent W. had to say, "I purchased this carrier so I could move my snowblower from job to job, and it works excellent. Great carrier that I highly recommend that's at a great price." Not only that but he wrote in a year later and had to say, "I use it often and I'm very glad I purchased it." A similar product we carry is Reese's Steel Solo Cargo Carrier, and while the Reese has some similar features, it has a smaller cargo basket, and the ramp itself is smaller with a lower carrying capacity of 400 pounds.So, our MaxxTow is gonna be able to handle larger objects. When choosing between the two, I'd probably go with the MaxxTow. That's it for our MaxxTow Wheelchair Carrier. Happy hauling.

Easily load and transport a wheelchair or other equipment with this extra-wide cargo carrier. 60" Long ramp makes it easy to wheel items into place. Ramp folds and pivots up for transport. Entire carrier folds up against vehicle when not in use.Wanted to try one of these for my Ariens Deluxe 28 snowblower. Wheeling the blower down ramps out of my truck bed is at least slightly precarious and I can't afford a trailer, so I figured I'd give this a shot. Assembly was simple enough. It's heavy, but I managed to get it assembled and into the hitch myself. The rack sits a ways out from the hitch itself, but that's a consequence of its 5" depth...when it's folded to the up position, it does not touch my bumper or tailgate. My snowblower weighs about 235lbs, so within half of the rack's rated capacity. The rack itself probably weighs 60-70lbs, so I've got an overall ~350lbs hanging off my trailer hitch. Because the rack itself is a ways out from the hitch, the effective load (F*r) is probably closer to 500-600lbs. My Class IV hitch is rated for 650lbs tongue load, so it should be just fine, especially considering the safety factors engineered into things like hitches. Today was my first day driving around with the snowblower loaded on it. I drove gently and didn't have any issues. My confidence in the unit will likely grow as the winter goes on and it resists any bending. The unit as a whole does sag slightly with the blower loaded up (see picture), but that's probably more to do with slop in the system than the unit itself. The grating is slippery, especially in the wet/snow, so be mindful. I ziptied some old car floor mats to the center of the ramp pieces for some foot traction. Don't forget to account for the added width from the skids if you're planning to use this for a snowblower. I bought this knowing I'd have to rest the skids up on the rails. Get your tie-downs right and you'll be fine. 459040
The service from etrailer was fantastic, I ordered the carrier and received within two days and was using within three. It works as advertised I was able to roll my 26" snowblower up the ramp without a problem and the carrier was very stable in transporting it several blocks. Thanks etrailer. 236399
I'm giving his carrier a 5 star rating because it lives up to it's advertised description. It was rather simple to assembly, about 30 minutes for me. The extra long ramp is the best I've seen in this price range and it's sturdy enough to handle my 250 LBS stature as I walked up and bounced on the flat platform. The full length stretched steel mesh is tack welded all throughout the frame and this style material simplifies loading with ease. After assembly was complete, I did need a 2nd person to help mount the carrier onto the vehicle. The carrier arrived 2 days ahead of the projected delivery date. Hats-Off for etrailer.com great price and great product and FREE shipping! 433605
SDK2 - 09/19/2018I received a box that was already opened in a duct taped box missing nuts and bolts scattered all over.. Pretty cheap and light weight.. Instructions were worthless.. 546408
the product itself was great but for a elderly lady to do it herself is to much so I have to find another way to haul the wheelchair 566245
I got my carrier in rapid time. I took it out of the box, and went through the instructions for assembly. It went together with very little effert . What I like about this unit is it is made light enough to handle, yet heavy enough to do the job. I recommend that after you get it assembled that you get a little help in installing it into your hitch receiver. I did it alone and took me a little more effert then I wanted but being a rather large man I did ok. The ramp works great, it allows me to load and carry my 26 inch snow blower from my house to my other jobs I have down town without having to hook my trailer up to the truck. It is wide enough and long enough to fit this blower, which is a 2 stage, and to heavy for me to lift. I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to be able to haul an item that is to heavy to lift into the back of your truck, yet you don't need a full blown trailer, especially in the winter time. Easy to put together, and to use, plus when you are done it folds up right next to your vehicle, which lets allows you the plus of not having to take it off when not in use. 324892
Mike C - 12/14/2017I used the carrier yesterday to pickup our new 24" wide two stage snow blower. It worked great! The only issues were the chains to hold the lynch pens broke off with just a slight tug. Also the paint scrapes off easily. I might repaint it to help prevent rusting. 106272
Just as described this was easy to install and works great! We have a large scooter we load onto it and its a breeze to get it up the ramp. The arm connectors are a bit troublesome to hook and unhook but over all this is a great ramp!!! 138666
The product did what was promised: provided me the means to carry my wife's electric scooter from home to church/store/visits. The material was solid the ease to load was convenient. Thanks! 573835
This is a great cargo carrier and has the quality I expected. My need for this is to haul around a 4 wheel Mobility Scooter and it does it's job. It is well built and a solid hookup when you use the anti rattle and tilt device that's furnished with the cargo carrier, no tilt or rattles at all except the fold up ramp when it's folded up but a bungee strap stopped that. All in All it's a great product and no complaints what so ever and etrailer.com is a super place to shop and are extremely helpful when information is needed. I rate this website and product 5 STARS 138298
Good product. This is what it can do. Please see picture 516037
What great service! I ordered my wheel chair carrier to we could transport a life long friend who has fallen victim to MS. I ordered at 6pm and paid the nominal fee to get it in 3-5 business days, at 10 am the next morning it was on my front door step, WOW! It is a great product, well built and easy to use. The only down side I experienced was that the wobble bracket isn't very universal, it doesn't work with my hitch receiver. However I saved almost $200 over what a local dealer wanted so I can get one that works for my needs. I have had an unsurpassed experience with the product and company! I'll be back! 136518
The people at e trailer are so friendly and work with the customers to solve the problems. My association with this company sans two months. In October I ordered this carrier . It was delivered quite fast. but I could not assemble it for quite some time due to lack of help . Then I discovered that the item was damaged. The company sent me the replacement but it was the wrong item. The third carrier was received.. The carrier was quite easy to Assemble. Make no mistake it takes two people . The video does not mention that let alone stress that point. We worked with the carrier on the ground. We laid it obits side with he ramp raised up in the vertical position to atach the base to the platform. This will be less strain on the back. The video shows one man lifting it and attaching it to the hitch receiver!!!! have another person help you lift it and insert the carrier in to the receiver. The ramp is simple to extend. Be careful of your fingers getting skinned or caught in the hinge. Lifting the platform to the closed position is quite simple, but be carful it will not fall on to the back of the vehicle. The anti-sway attachment makes the carrier quite stable. The carrier is attached to 2014 Honda CRV. We have used a couple of times sofar. Secure the scooter with straps . 163622
I bought this product for the width and the ramp. I carry a generator from my house to the deer lease 120 mi one way, Sportsman model 7500 dual fuel, weighing about 270 lbs. The first carrier I ordered made it there just fine, then upon returning home, I noticed that the carrier was sagging bad. I contacted etrailer and they immediately sent a replacement. The replacement did not even make it 10 miles on paved roads in the city before it started to bend. Terrible product, the squaring tubing that the designed used is too thin of gauge, i cant imagine what would happen if someone tried to haul the rated capacity of 500 lbs. Pictures of both carriers attached. 326974
I purchased this carrier so I could move my snow blower from job to job and it works excellent. Great carrier that I highly recommend thats at a great price. 110404
Kent W - 12/19/2014I bought this carrier for my dad's power chair. His truck sits high so we needed the 60" ramp. I haven't used the carrier yet because it is a surprise for him so I can't give 5 stars. I'm giving 4 for the ease of ordering, fantastic shipping and quality of the carrier. I ordered this carrier on a Sunday afternoon and it arrived Wednesday evening! I did opt for the express delivery which states 3-5 business days. I assumed I'd get it Thursday at best but I was pleasantly surprised. I put it together by myself using a grand total of 5 wrenches. I could've reduced that number to 2 if I'd used adjustable wrenches but I had ratchet wrenches on hand to fit everything. Speaking of that, all the bolt/nut sizes are emperial (not metric) and that made it easier. I had it un-packed, assembled and installed on my truck to fit test everything in under 30 minutes. It is a little heavy and awkward for one person to lift/mount but it isn't impossible. I'm of average height, weight and strength and managed it without too much strain. The fact that it is heavy is a good thing, in my opinion. I'd be afraid of a steel carrier of this size if it wasn't substantially heavy. The finish is very good, all components were in the packaging and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I'll come back after we've put some miles on it and see which way I need to amend my review! 231843
Ryan - 11/11/2016Pros: This trailer is a solid piece of equipment and a good value for the price. While the ramp is a little on the heavy side, it is still lighter and less strenuous to move overall than lifting my mobility scooter out of the back of my vehicle myself. Cons: I used it on my 2012 Rogue and it notoriously scraped almost every driveway we went in or out of. (Tip - approach at a significant angle to decrease the severity of the scrape.) Unsurprisingly, the part of the rack that frequently came into contact with asphalt quickly lost its powder coat finish and rusted. The little clips that hold the ramp up in place wore out after about a month or two and had to be replaced (available at specialty hardware stores.) The chains that kept hold of the clips were no match for Wisconsin winters - they degraded even quicker, rusting through and falling off within a month. The anti-shake bracket was extremely hard to tighten and if we were lucky enough to get it tightened, it would not stay that way for long. Also, putting the rack into its compact, upright position is difficult at first until the bolt wears the hole down enough (the whole thing is very heavy, definitely a two-person job.) Overall, the cons were mostly minor annoyances, and the functionality of the rack remains. I am still thankful to have this option and continue to have mobility options even while pregnant. Had my husband written this review, he would have been much more critical, as he was the one who had to deal with it, make all the adjustments, etc. 452501
Very fast delivery, two days. Very simple to assemble. The instruction pictures have the carrier assembled opening into the street and not towards the curb. Here in Pa it is illegal to park against on going traffic, the ramp should be on the passenger side. This was an easy fix while assembling. Happy with construction. I will be rebuilding the anti-tilt locking bracket since it was welded crooked and throws off the level of the platform. I will also add extra welds to the bottom square tubing near the weep holes. In all very satisfied with etrailer.com and will purchase from again. Thanks 172780
The carrier is as advertised. Assembly went well, but would have been faster had I done it fifty years ago. :-) I have not yet installed it on my vehicle. Primary use intended is for my wife's power wheelchair. I may have uses for it as a substitute for my large utility trailer. Assembly instructions are complete and accurate. I may submit a picture later after installation on vehicle. I am pleased overall with the purchase. 133684
Bob E - 06/02/2015Here are some pictures. Took me twenty minutes to build it without looking at the instructions. Very easy to setup. Easy to install to the vehicle by myself as well. 106259
Love the product. Its is working for eveything i bought it for. Dewalt portable table saw rolls right up it . Fits mobile tool box as well. Picture is to show you. I use ratchet tie downs as well. Shipping was super fast. Ordered day before got next day around 7pm. I live about a 1hour away from shop. 540849
This cargo carrier is heavy duty for sure. That’s the pro and the con. Being heavy duty it is very heavy to lift and install with one person. Some of the holes didn’t line up right and had to be re- drilled. The ramp was welded a little offset so it hits the cage around the platform when you fold up the ramp completely. All in all I wish I didn’t buy this one but if you always have a second person to help u And if you don’t mind modifying it to work properly than I will say it is pretty sturdy and economical choice. 492001
This carrier makes it easier to load my extra-large chair onto it due to the extended ramp and therefore smaller rise. It was very difficult to assemble and install and I find the way you fold it into the up position and back down again is difficult to accomplish and could have been desgined a little more user friendly. I am fairly satisfied with this carrier but find myself wishing that a little more thought had been put into the design. 770745
Perfect for my need. Easy to assemble and use. 764517
The MT70260 works well. I put it on the back of my 2015 Silverado and haul a two stage snowblower in the winter. I have hauled coolers and other smaller items as well. Great carrier, easy to store also. AAA+ 764062
