MT4000 – Hitch Carrier Basket

Discount Ramps is now proud to offer the Hitch Carrier Basket! Add storage capacity to your vehicle with the Hitch Carrier Basket that can hold up to 400 pounds!  The black powder-coated finish protects this basket for a long time.  The MT 4000 carrier is a vehicle hitch-mounted carrier with a ramp that allows you to easily load and unload a variety of equipment — from power chairs and scooters to snow blowers and yard equipment. It’s built from a powder-coated and welded steel so no assembly is required. The platform and ramp are made of a lightweight, corrosion resistant aluminum, so little to no maintenance is required either. This 400 pound weight limit allows push mowers, wheel chairs, coolers and more to store safely inside.  So if you think you need more storage space on your vehicle the MT 4000 carrier basket is your solution. The 48 inch long by 23 inch wide by almost 9 inch high dimension allows you to fit more gear than ever before. The non-slip grip tape on the platform surface keeps your items in place during transport, and the black powder-coated finish is durable and keeps all the maintenance down. The welded design means the hitch carrier comes fully assembled and ready to go. If necessary, you may want to add in the optional tilt adapter or hitch height adapter available for vehicles with hitch clearance less than 12 inches for even more versatility. This TrekAway mobility carrier allows you to add an optional Class II hitch adapter for 1.25 inch hitch receivers or an option High Height adapter for vehicles with less clearance.  The MT 4000 Mobility Carrier has a one year warranty.

Discount Ramps model number for the Hitch Carrier Basket is MT 4000. The overall length of the platform for the MT 4000 is 50 inches on the outside and 48 inches on the inside. The overall width of the outside of the MT 4000 is 25 inches and 23 inches on the inside. The inside height of the platform is just over 7 inches, while the outside the platform is 10 inches; the overall weight of this system is 34 pounds. Crammed trunks and cluttered truck beds limit your cargo capacity; the receiver hitch basket allows you to extend your cargo space to the hitch of your vehicle.  Now you can load up duffel bags, buckets, farm supplies, or even deer. The best part is that its assembled and welded construction can carry up to 400 pounds. The limitations of the MT 4000 hitch carrier basket capacity may be limited by your vehicle’s capacity. This hitch mounted carrier will not work with class I receiver but will with class II, III, and IV.

If you would like to know more about the MT 4000 Hitch rack carrier basket or would like to purchase this item, please visit the MT4000 website. Discount Ramps also offers a silent hitch pin that gives you a rattle and noise free drive. Designed for class III and IV hitches, it comes with a barrel lock and chrome coating.  A heavy duty spring nut with a counter boring sleeve prevent the road noise. This hitch pin also comes with a rubber dust cap on the lock to prevent little debris from entering.

Discount Ramps has just added a new hitch basket to our line of cargo carriers. This hitch basket is unlike any of the other carriers that we currently offer, as it is a lighter duty rack that has tall sides for hauling items that require taller support to encase the items. These higher sides are a great addition to this hitch basket as it allows a vehicle to haul items that have generally never been able to be carried on a hitch carrier in the past.  Below you will see a great picture showing one of these baskets carrying fertilizer, weed killer, and even flowers!

As you can see, this new hitch basket cargo carrier is unlike any other on the market, as this one comes equipped with 14″ sides that keeps taller items more stable for safer transportation. The carrier is specifically designed to do the job that most other carriers are simply not built for. For example, it can haul materials that normally would never be able to be hauled on a carrier ever before.  By this, we are talking about items that can’t be tied-down with any conventional tie-down systems such as plants and flowers, balls, animal decoys, and many other awkward items. Below you can see this new hitch basket attached to an ATV hitch receiver where the driver has used it to haul hunting supplies along with decoys out to the field.
