Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for Transporting Snow Blower  

Question:

Expert Reply:

I highly recommend the Flint Hill Goods 29" x 50" Cargo Carrier w Ramp # FHG67ZR for transporting your snow blower around town. This has the ramp for easy loading but it only weighs in at 53.95 lbs. Initially that sounds pretty heavy but when you compare it to the 75.5 lb weight of the steel alternative, part # FHG77ZR, you see it sheds about 20 lbs off the total weight.

The carrier I'm recommending is made of aluminum which is why it's lighter. The aluminum construction not only helps with the weight of the carrier, but it also helps with corrosion resistance. Aluminum can withstand the elements better than steel which will come in handy since you'll be driving around during winter when there is salt on the road.

I'm attaching a review video where we actually have a snow blower loaded up for you to check out. We also have a handful of customer reviews where they've used this carrier for the exact same thing so you'll be in good company using this carrier and ramp.

Can you use the Flint Hills Good 29x50 Cargo Carrier without the ramp - I only want the ramp when I load a grill or snowblower, but when I am only hauling coolers, I dont want the ramp in the way - can it be removed, somewhat easily and used without it? Thank you.

@MarkK There are some bolts that hold the ramp to the carrier that I suppose you can remove if you really don't want that ramp, but the more you do that the more worn the hardware will get so I don't see as much of a benefit from doing that, plus you'll lose one whole side of your carrier. So, I guess I'm saying you can do that - I just don't recommend doing it.
