Description
Serious Construction. No Compromises.
Manufactured in Australia using high-grade Australian steel and aluminium.
This is equipment built to last — not lightweight imitation gear.
Reinforced Main Bar Support
Our 2” x 2” x 3/16” (50x50x5mm) steel main bar is internally reinforced with a precision laser-cut ½” (12mm) MS350 steel plate.
• Tap-fitted vertically inside the main bar for zero movement
• Plug welded through ½” rosette weld ports
• Welded top and bottom at five places along the tube
This creates a reinforced internal spine inside the hitch bar — dramatically increasing bending resistance and torsional rigidity at the receiver.
Structural Aluminium Spine – 1,836 lb Working Load Capacity
Your motorcycle sits on a 5” x 2.5” x 0.165” A6061-T6 structural aluminium RHS beam
(125x65x4.2mm metric)
Calculated Working Load Limit:
1,836 lbs (833 kg)
This is not folded sheet metal.
The A6061 T6 RHS is dropped into a 3/16” (5mm) A5005-H34 aluminium channel, folded on three sides with 5” walls to:
• Increase structural rigidity
• Prevent tyre roll-off
• Improve load distribution
Structural Highlights
• Laser-cut, deburred and CNC press brake folded components
• ½” internal reinforcement plate welded inside the hitch bar
• ¼” welded steel mounting plates with ½” high-tensile bolts
• Professional 415v Gas Metal Arc Welding
• Sandblasted, primed and powder-coated steel components
• 5-gauge aluminium bike channel
• 125x65x4.2mm A6061 T6 structural aluminium RHS insert
• Grade 8 hardware with Nyloc nuts for vibration-resistant security
Rock-Solid Stability on the Highway
The included anti-tilt bracket eliminates receiver movement for stable transport — even at highway speeds.
Integrated LED tail light kit ensures visibility and compliance.
Optional 64” lightweight loading ramp allows easy one-person loading and stores securely during transport.
One-person loading. No drama.

Main Bar Length:
If you need a longer main bar as per below these will be air freighted from Australia to your door but add $220 in cost, delivery is 7-9 days.
The main bar is the horizontal arm that extends from your hitch receiver.
The standard length has the center of the bike channel 19.75″ from the center of the hitch pin hole in the receiver this is suitable for most styleside pickups and SUV’s.
However you will need a longer main bar if you have a:
- Spare tire on the rear door
- Rear door with fuel can holders
- Other rear accessories that may obstruct the standard bar
There are 4 longer main bar options available: extra 2″, 4″, 6″ or 8″.

Important Safety Note
You must secure your motorcycle at a minimum of four points, six is better, using MX tie-downs or ratchet straps attached to the frame, handlebars, triple clamp, crash bars or rear tire. This is essential for safety.
