FAQ

TRAILERACK can carry up to 8 bikes, depending on the configuration of your racks. 

No.  Bike racks are not included.  TRAILERACK is intentionally designed to be flexible and affordable so you can use the racks you already have.  You can choose racks that fit your needs.  Optional  “T-Rails” are available which mimic roof rack crossbars. These can be used for mounting bike racks, cargo racks, boats, or they can removed and stored when not needed.  

We regularly carry a 13′ 6″ x 36″ wide fishing Kayak, but we recommend 10′ or less.  The optional T-Rails are 46″ wide, so it will easily transport 2 to 3 whitewater kayaks using J-Racks (typically used as roof carriers).

No.  It is ready to use as soon as it arrives. Just attach your racks according to the rack manufacturer’s instructions (just like you would on your car’s hitch) and you will be on the road in just a few minutes.

Yes, each trailer has a unique VIN number.  Your VIN# is 17 digits long and begins with 1TP. It can typically be found on a label near the front of the trailer. If the label is missing or unreadable, there may be smaller labels located under a rear step or under the lip of C channel trailers, near the nose jack of the trailer.

You will need a standard 2″ hitch ball.

In order to have a level trailer, the top of the ball should measure approximately 15″ from the ground.

The overall dimensions are 90″ x 56″ x 24″.  

The tongue weight depends very much on how the trailer is loaded.  Generally speaking, when properly loaded as intended with bikes, cargo, and/or boats, the tongue weight of this trailer should typically be between 20 and 50 lbs.  This is an important concept for safety and should be understood before attempting to tow any trailer.

TRAILERACK has a GVWR of 1,300 lbs..  GVWR means Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. This is the absolute maximum amount of weight that the trailer can bear when it is fully loaded. This includes all cargo, and fluids, plus the original weight of the trailer.
