This is a very good piece of equipment and took about a half hour ...

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a very good piece of equipment and took about a half hour to put together. A couple pointers for potential buyers, First, when assembling the bottom braces, you can place the hitch insert bar facing either side, depending if you want to load/unload on the driver's or passenger side. Second, although it works well on my Jeep Cherokee, the clearance is a bit low if where your driveway and the street meet, there is a bit of an incline, my Dodge Ram 1500 gives it better clearance. Third, the ramp slides on with welded pegs into welded sleeves, and are held in place by two small cotter pins to allow the ramp to move up and down when the two lock pins are not in place when the ramp is in transit. If you leave these pins out, you can slide the ramp on and off easily, which makes the overall unit easier to handle for one person when placing in into the receiver and storage. Even with the pins out, the ramp stay secure while loading your equipment, and the lock upper pins keep it in place while in transit. Fourth, use a ratchet strap to secure your snow blower, scooter, etc. toward the center of the carrier; this keeps the carrier from tilting.

Does what it should

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

I purchased this to haul a 28" Toro snowblower on a 2010 Tundra. The carrier assembled in minutes with no issues.
I used it to clear ten driveways after a 14" snowfall last week and had minimal issues. The kit comes with the tongue support so there's no need to purchase one as Amazon recommends. I did lose one of the clevis pins on first transport because the cotter key wasn't properly bent, my mistake. I replaced both of them with nuts/bolts. Overall, it works as it should and it's very sturdy as long as the hardware is tightened well after initial assembly. The inside dimension is 30" also.

Awesome customer service

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

These folks were great. The product came with some shipping damage to the pin that goes into the hinge, such that it would not go into the hinge because it had been damaged in shipping. I emailed them, and they responded within hours. Because I needed to transport a mobility scooter pretty soon, they sent me another one, while the UPS pick up of the damaged item was underway. They were responsive, helpful and just perfect in every way. Oh, And the product is very good quality. Heavy duty and solid. I may add a coat of rustoleum paint just to protect it a little more, but it is good quality as delivered.

DO NOT BUY

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

I would not purchase this item the bolts don't fit right and tighten down because of the steel mesh so it rocks back and forth and it started rusting with in 2 weeks of purchase. I contacted Amazon and there only fix was to return it. If this was something I didn't use every day fine but it's for my power wheelchair so I can't just return it and my disability check doesn't give me a lot of extra money to just buy another one first,so I told the person with Amazon my situation and asked if I could get a partial refund because of the quality. I was informed I needed to call the manufacturer but no go with them kept being told someone would contact me and never did then was finally took It was Amazon's responsibility.SO PLEASE READ ALL THE REVIEWS AND DO NOT BUY,IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH THIS ITEM.

like the picture

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

Be sure to measure your equipment before you buy. only problem is, like the picture, you cant push the equipment up and down the ramp from behind. the picture shows a nice fit for that snow blower but notice the handle of the snow blower is on he opposite side where the ramp folds. We loved the idea of this item so we didn't pay enough attention. HOWEVER, you cant push your equipment up and down the ramp as the handles won't allow the ramp to fold up and secure. we will keep it, but we have to be careful when putting snow blower and lawn mower on the carrier because we have to do it backwards. Sturdy and easy to assemble.

It's ok

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

It's very sturdy. The dimensions are a little off. The clearance on the inside isn't 32". That's the actual with of it. It's more like 30". I use it for my snow blower which is 30" but with the skid shoes, it's 32". I had to modify it by cutting a portion of the aside trails out on either side. Now it fits perfectly. In the future i suggest to the vendor that you include that dimension as well

For the price ($200) cant go wrong

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021

I feel for the price it is a solid hitch basket. I had no problem building or getting my large old snowblower on and off. Attached to the hitch receiver firmly.

The only issue is after 1 month, there is already rust spots on the floor but will cover will black spray paint in the summer.

If I could give this less stars I would. Delivered to me November 6th, less than 5 months ago and the welding on the hinge snapped and the other hinge is about ready to snap. For $360.00 I should have gotten more than 5 months worth out of this.
