asked by: Mark R
Expert Reply:
Hey Mark! Yes, you can safely carry your Cummins Onan 5,000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator # CM58MR on the Benton MoveHitch # B86VR. At 45-3/8" long, 18-1/8" wide, and 108 pounds, it fits well within the carrier's usable space and is comfortably under its 500 lb weight capacity.
Just be sure to secure it with quality ratchet straps and confirm that the combined weight of your cargo stays within your vehicle's hitch tongue weight rating as well. If you want to keep the carrier secure I recommend upgrading the hitch pin to the locking # e43JR as well.
What are you planning to power with the generator?
