Here you see it out on our test course. First is the slalom, which shows the side to side action, to simulate turning corners or evasive maneuvers. Next, are the alternating speed bumps, which show you the twisting action, such as hitting a pothole, road debris, or going over a curb. Finally, we will finish with the solid speed bumps, which show the up and down action, to simulate a parking garage or coming out of a driveway. .

I 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
Very good quality. Great purchase. 569158
I 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
I had the same problem with the chains. Fortunately I had some jack chain around.

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
I bought this because of the great reviews from other customers. It took me 45 minutes to assemble using instructions. Would have liked to have larger font for diagram in instructions. I will be using this to take equipment for repair, bringing it closer to work area. Will use to remove hunting success from woods as well. Love the price. 382127
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
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
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
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
The cargo carrier still functions as intended load and haul. What we found with it’s use is that the alignment pins are tight and we have to jiggle the carrier to fully close the ramp and that along, has been difficult. We knew in the beginning it would take two people to mount the carrier to the vehicle hitch, but we struggle due to its weight and size, just to got it properly mounted onto the vehicle hitch. The school of hard-knocks has taught me that maybe the aluminum unit would have been a better choice, as the steel unit is very heavy and the more I struggle with it, the heavy it gets.
SDK2 - 09/19/2018Love 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
I bought this to transport my grandson's electric wheelchair. Most of it was already assembled. Great product I would buy it again 556744
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
Hi Patrick,The Cargo Carrier is excellent. I use it often and am very glad I purchased it.ThanksKent
Kent W - 12/19/2014Good product. This is what it can do. Please see picture 516037
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
Pros: 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
The box arrived banged up. The contents were tough so it wasn't an issue. For the price it seems adequate. The electric wheelchair went up backwards up the ramp well with a little practice. Overall a good carrier. Thanks 575822
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
I dont use the carrier often, but nice to have it when needed. I put it on by myself, so when take it off, set it up on blocks at near the right height for mounting. I have to agree with others, pins and chains are flimsy, but I have no major complaints with the unit. Serving my purpose.
Bob E - 06/02/2015The Carrier was delivered to me very fast. Upon assembly the holes in the tongue were misaligned and it was impossible to put the hitch pin through them. { This was a problem caused by the factory } The Lady I called at customer service was very courteous but she explained it would be at least a week before I even received a return label for the part. Rather than wait I had the holes drilled out to align them enough to put the hitch pin through. Other than that this seems to be a good carrier but it is very heavy for anyone disabled to use without assistance 195331
The box was man handled by a UPS driver. The first delivery attempt was left on the truck because the driver said he needed a 2nd person to pick it up. The 2nd driver the next day did it solo. I didn't notice the box damaged. The second delivery seems much better. I'll see if it survives the 1st load. 462936
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
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
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 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
Still doing the job, used it this mornig to haul my snow blower to the store fronts that I clean snow away from. One of the most successful investment I have ever made
Mike C - 12/14/2017I 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
The only complaint that I have is the ramp angle and edge. The ramp, even being longer, still has a sharp angle that makes loading a power chair difficult. It isnt a ride on process. The edge of the ramp is 1 steel tubing and it is difficult to get the chair wheels over it. The problem comes when loading because you cannot get up any speed to bounce over the edge because you will slip off the edge.
Ryan - 11/11/2016Good product everything fit together nicely. Plan on using it to transport my wife's mobility scooter which will allow us to go places other than Walmart or Meijers. 246123
Been using for snow blower for route. Working great! Been holding up good so far with heavy abuse. 116023
How big is you snowblower
-- comment by: Kent - 08/20/2015It is a 24 inch blower
-- comment by: Josh - 08/25/2015overall, not a bad product. could be better in its fit and finish. The ramp is a little heavy and awkward if your disabled, and the pin chains do break as has been mentioned. I replaced the pins with better ones from a hardware store. This is best used with an suv or pickup as it has some weight. Our Nissan Quest was NOT up to the task of putting a 250-300 lb scooter on it. The aforementioned vehicles with a proper hitch (preferably PU/SUV with class4, 2inch hitch) would do best and loading items that do not have leading and trainling wheels/arms like my wifes electric scooter. a small 4 wheel electric chair perhaps, mowers, tiller, small 4-wheeler would be great choices. It needs a bit of height off the ground so it does not scrap. (ours did constantly because of a very soft suspension). The locking arm(s) are a little awkward, but servicable. The ramp has the lip from the frame to 'jump' over, so a small ramp like a door sill to make a smooth transition would be welcome for small wheeled items, large 10-12 inch wheels should have no problem with angles or the blunt frame edge of the ramp. Overall a good value depending on what you are hauling, and with what you are hauling it with. For the money, its a good size with long ramp. I would NOT recommend using it with an HD jazzy scooter with trailing arms and center drive wheels. If you have a machine that is just front and rear wheel setup, you should be ok. I stress this because of personal experience. This was replaced by a Bruno chariot lift because, (1) it got hit by a bad driver and bent out of usable condition, (2) our vehicle required a different setup to carry our heavy item. With care and attention to detail, a person should be able to get years of service. Has lots of holes and frame work with to tie onto or use straps. I am including a frame picture of scooter to know what to avoid... 304831
I am extremely disappointed in this product ...first hole for the pin was off had to re drill it to get pin to work...second when I put scooter on the ramp the mesh gave way creating a hole the wheel fell in....I paid extra for shipping because I needed it quickly but that was negated with the poor quality...I guess I will make due with what was shipped but people need to beware of the CHINEESE crap on the market. As a result I won't recommend this product nor will I buy from you again Again for the record this product is JUNK. 407293
Here 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
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
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
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
Poorly made 573496
It was easy to put together and very sturdy. We've used it a few times and it works great. 569505
I am glad to got package so we will bring over my friend henhouse and give him biggest surprise 562528
Package arrived very quick. Good. Package was in poor condition because contents were not packed tight enough. Bad. No straps on box, arrived open and I wondered if all the parts were there. All parts were there. Good. The chain used to hold the pins was very cheap and should be changed . Mine was broken, very weak. All in all the product was very nice for the money. I am a welder and could not have built one for this kind of money and have all the great functions this unit has. Thank You 612448
Works well. Really great for hauling stuff you do not want in your car. 611683
The vehicle I was going to carry on this item wouldn't fit. When I read the product description, I measured my cart and it would fit. When I got the carrier I tried to put my cart on the carrier but it wouldn't fit. Perplexed, I them measured the dimensions of the carrier. The dimensions listed in the product description were for the out side sizes. Turns out the platform area of the carrier are 28.5 in. X 48 in. The size of the cart when collapsed for transport is 30 in. X 49.5 in. Now I have to either pay more to have it altered locally or pay approx. $90.00 to return it. 611393
In the product description, we specifically state that the inside dimension of the platform measures 48 long x 28 wide.

Mike L - 03/14/2019Very sorry to say that I only got to use it one time. I had my wife's 250 lb power wheel chair on it and the hitch tube and or the main tube under the carrier bowed to where I cannot use it. Since that time, my wife's A.L.S.( lou Gerhigs Disease) has progressed to the point that she has a new power chair that weighs 420 lbs. + her weight. It was a good idea, but just did not work out.. 605720
Great representation of product. Well built. A little heavy for 66 year old with COPD. Going to use to haul power chair. 603245
Wheel Chair carrier very easy to assemble, metric hardware so make sure that you have 13mm wrenches for the base assembly and I used 15/16 wrenches for the folding assembly. This will turn out to be a very versatile piece of equipment. 603135
It just came in today, Packaging was good, no tears and parts sticking out of it or exposed. Shipping was right no time, fast and reliable, tracking was very good. Will be installing it as soon as I can get my brother in law taking a break from Hunting, yes it is hunting season. As soon as he is having some time, I will go together with him installing, but so far what I see, a very good piece of equipment, very sturdy, good features, good price and just what we was looking for. It will be used for hauling my wives electric wheelchair around. I will be for shure buying again from etrailer.com you have a new loyal customer. 601656
very fast delivery after placing my order. product is exactly as stated on their website. very please with etrailer.com 600739
The package rack arrived in good time, in good condition. IT was very easy to assemble and light enough that as an out of shape older woman, I could still move it around. Better to have 2 people lift and insert into hitch. Directions left a little bit to be desired. Pictures not that evident. All in all, by taking time and thinking while following instructions, easy to put together. Maiden voyage went very well. We had to get a hitch extension, as the truck bumper sticks out too far for the package rack to fold up to the truck. The ramp folds out far enough to make the incline very workable. At this point, I would recommend to others looking for a lightweight electric scooter carrier. 598969
The mobility Carrier has worked out Great. After one year the only thing I've done to it is spray truck bed paint on the finish to help give it a little more grip and to stop the tiny spot of rust which is from living in Florida's humidity. This product works great for the bigger mobility scooters. I'm very happy with this product. 597936
George, thank you for such great service. The hitch is just what I needed. 593989
Hello, just a quick bit of feedback...the trailer says 30x50 but that's the outside measurement so our 30 inch snowblower sits right on the outer edge...we would have went up a size if we knew the actual space available for cargo. Otherwise very satisfied! Have a wonderful day. 592386
Excellent product. I use it for a snow blower. When I first got the carrier — I said no way will this hold the snow blower. Well I was wrong. It was better than I would believe. I will definitely recommend this product to my friends. 591998
It was a gift for my son. He said " it was very heavy, fell apart and is now rusty". 589302
