Stability of Folding Cargo Carriers
Question:
Looking at e98874 or similar folding hitch rack. Have concerns from watching video that rack can flex/wobble/wiggle when installed from side to side when running down the road. What construction stability measures have been incorporated to prevent this from happening.
asked by: Bill M
Expert Reply:
These carriers do not wobble any more than a fixed carrier would. Usually the wiggling comes from the shank of the carrier that is inserted in the hitch receiver. There are devices and locks available to prevent this from happening. You could use the Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin and Lock # e99047 to make this better and keep your carrier secure.
