folding hitch carrier

Capacity varies by model and type: cargo-style carriers commonly list ratings such as 200 lb, 500 lb, or 750 lb, while folding hitch bike racks often show maximum total loads in the 143–150 lb range.

Most are built from heavy-duty steel or alloy steel and finished with rust-resistant coatings or powder coating to resist corrosion and outdoor wear.

Installation ranges from tool-free Quick-Connect systems for fast mounting to models that require adult assembly with included tools.

Common safety additions are raised side rails or guardrails, reinforced mesh or nets to contain items, and reflective strips or panels to improve nighttime visibility.

They are generally compatible with any vehicle equipped with a standard 2-inch hitch receiver, including cars, SUVs, vans, pickup trucks, RVs, and trailers.
