How Can I Mount A Honda Generator To My Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer?
Updated 09/08/2025 | Published 06/05/2025
Question:
Firstly, great site, great expertise- thanks! I have a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer with the 78 round crossbars for my Lifetime 13 foot Wabash canoe. How can I mount a Honda 2200 generator to it? Can the TorkLift 16x21 Lock and Load tray be secured to this Yakima trailer using T-bolts- and still be sort of thrft proof?

Hey Patrick,
I took a look at the TorkLift Lock and Load Cargo tray, # TLA7901, and it does look like you would be able to mount that on that trailer in some way. It comes with a bracket that it bolts to in order to go into a hitch receiver, but that is removable. It would be a sort of DIY install since that is not the application it is meant for, but some u-bolts or t-bolts would be able to secure it where you have space.
If you want to let me know the size of your generator and how much room you have to work with I can see what other options we may have for you.

Hey Patrick, did you have a chance to try mounting the TorkLift Lock and Load tray on your Yakima trailer? I'm curious to know how it worked out for securing your generator, as it could help others with similar setups.
