Alpaca1500 1Tadpole1.25 Carrier

Warning: Use this carrier with receiver hitches bolted directly to the frame of the vehicle or to a bumper or hitch with a 300 pound or higher tongue load rating. Limit the load to 100 pounds. Because of leverage smaller hitches are not strong enough for this carrier. The trunk strap provided can be used to reduce the leverage and stress on the carrier, hitch and vehicle. Be sure to attach the flat hook to a point on the vehicle strong enough for the forces applied. (DO NOT ATTACH THE STRAP TO PLASTIC TRUNKS). The carrier can be used without the strap if the hitch and vehicle are adequate for the load. A hitch with a 200 pound tongue load rating is also rated as a 2-bike carrier capacity hitch by the manufacturer. Since trikes are heavier than bikes the use of this carrier exceeds the capacity of these hitches. Do so at your own risk.
