Review: Road-Ready Cargo Beast - This hitch is like adding an extra set of muscles to your rig—solid, no-nonsense support that makes hauling feel downright effortless. I slid my old rack off and clicked this one in seconds, and right away I could tell it wasn’t messing around. Whether I’m carting lumber, bikes, or a mountain of camping gear, it stays rock-steady with zero wobble. What really sells it is the build quality—thick steel, flawless welds, and a finish that laughs off scratches and rust. Even after a mud-caked weekend in the backwoods, a quick rinse and it looks good as new. And sizing is spot-on, so you don’t waste time fiddling with fits or second-guessing your setup. If you need a hitch you can trust on every trip, this thing’s your go-to workhorse.
Review: Good value - I used this carrier to haul my fishing cart as it has become difficult for me to lift it into my truck and it took up room inside. Well made, lightweight and was able to assemble by myself in about 1 hour. Box was a bit damaged from shipping but no damage to the carrier. All parts were included and instructions were pretty good. The size was a perfect fit for my cart and when the ramp is down, I can still access the back of my truck. It was a bit more than what I wanted to spend but now that it is in operation, works great and is a major help on my frequent fishing trips.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the opening on this carrier be switched to the passenger side of vehicle?**
A: (Why do so many people "answer" questions with "I don't know" type of answers? If you don't actually know the answer, stay out of the answer section.)
Yes, when you put it together, you have the option of assembling it with the ramp opening from either the driver or the passenger side of vehicle. It can be reconfigured afterwards with a little back-tracking, if needed.

**Q: I read on another carrier that the vehicle could not go above 40mph while using the carrier.  Does this one have a limit on how fast you can drive?**
A: I’ve had my mobility cart on this carrier to over 90 mph.  Didn’t even know it was there.   Just make sure you fasten it securely.    I put “soft tie loops” around back u dear and around the frame.   I tied a quick release to those.  (Didn’t use a hook) then I drilled and put some stainless one hole tabs for tie downs.  Cut the tie down to my exact length I needed.  It fastens securely.  But I also use one orange bungee corn on the ramp just in case the pins come out.

**Q: Is it light enough for an one average man to move, attach, and detach?**
A: Yes, 1 person can it.
I would recommend putting a crate by the hitch, place it on the crate and then line it up and attach.

**Q: Do you have any carriers with ramps on the driver's side of the camp?**
A: The unit I bought can be assembled for the ramp to be on either side. All pictures show it with the ramp on the passenger side but it is possible to assemble it with the ramp on the driver side.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value
*by J***E on October 18, 2022*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well for snowblower
*by S***N on January 19, 2020*

First off, you CAN make this so the ramp goes on the drivers side, which if you're moving a snowblower is what you want to do. Trying to load or unload into the snowbank on the side of the road is a bad idea. Also as someone else mentioned you should go buy two clevis pins and replace the bottom bolts in the ramp with them, now the ramp will fold nearly flat by removing the bottom pins and folding it on the top pins. Pros: Quite sturdy, though I wouldn't stand on it while loading anything. Assembly means you can put it together the way you like. Pretty light. Cons: The box was so full of aluminum filings it was mind boggling. Aluminum burrs across all metal surfaces that were drilled. Box contents were almost enough to build it (box was short a couple of bolts and a few were the wrong ones), instructions are a joke. Technically says "Max speed 55 MPH" but seemed unphased with a snowblower on it doing 70 on the interstate. Tie down eye bolts are flimsy at best. Takes an eternity to bolt together (over 75 small bolts to assemble). I know the cons list is longer than the pros list but it does the job with minimal fuss and the price is right. I have it on the back of a full size truck.
