Features:
  • Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: The heaviest frame on the market -- weighing 48 pounds -- the Swingaway frame features thick-walled steel tubing to maximize box stability.
  • Swing Arm: Our unique design allows the swing arm to pivot a full 180 degrees to the passenger side. The frame swings back and away from the vehicle for maximum accessibility to the rear of your vehicle.
  • High-Rise Design: For maximum ground clearance, the Swingaway frame features a rise that puts the bolting platform 8.5 inches above the bottom of your vehicle’s trailer hitch.
  • Bolting Platform: Features four bolting locations for easy-on/easy-off box attachment. Also features rear side reinforcements to distribute the weight of your gear.
  • Primary Safety: The Swingaway frame is equipped with a double-locking system. The primary safety is screwed in for an unmistakably tight fit.
  • Backup Safety: The backup safety is located next to the pivot point and serves two purposes: to act as a backup safety when the frame is in the closed position and to lock the frame in the open position at 90 degrees for easy trunk loading/unloading.


Additional Information:
  • For use on vehicles with a 2" trailer hitch (rated Class III and above).
  • A Hitch Coupling Tightener is included with every Swingaway frame to reduce side-to-side wobble when the carrier is in use.
  • A hitch pin is included with every Swingaway frame which will secure the frame into your vehicle’s hitch. We highly recommend upgrading to a Locking Hitch Pin, which will key-lock your frame to your vehicle’s hitch for maximum security.
