    SwingAway Hitch Carrier Frame

    Need a heavy duty frame that easily mounts to your hitch receiver and swings out for easy access to the back of your vehicle?  As our most popular hitch carrier frame, the StowAway SwingAway hitch carrier frame offers both! Fabricated from heavy-duty steel, the swing away hitch frame fits both 1.25 inch and 2 inch hitch receivers. It also swings out up to 180 degrees, giving you clear access to the rear of your vehicle when you need it.

    Ideal for individuals or families who want all the accessible cargo space they can get, the SwingAway cargo frame pairs well with all of the StowAway Cargo Boxes, hitch racks, bike racks, ski carriers or even your own box or rack. Our frames have either a 5" or a 2" rise that provides a little more ground clearance at the rear of the vehicle.  

    Install a SwingAway hitch carrier and have some fun out there!

    When I was looking online for some sort of swing out, hitched mounted product to build a camping kitchen with, I was thrilled to find the Stowaway! Once ordered it only took a few days to arrive, and was just perfect for my plan. Heavy duty, very easy to operate, and stable while driving

    Really wanted to increase storage for my promaster but didn't want to lose the ability to open my rear doors and definitely didn't want to have to climb up to a roof box. Very well made! Was able to mount a truck tool box I already had to it after modifying it slightly.

    Pros:
    • Sturdy design without being too heavy
    • Made in the USA!
    Cons:
    • None.
    Mounted this on our Solis. Installed a 36x24x24 Aluminum box off-setting it several inches to give greater rear door access. The Swing-Away hitch is very stable and easy to use. I recommend an after market hitch stabilizer for a 350# hitch setup.
