This is one of the heaviest carriers on this list, so bear that in mind when making your choice. A loading ramp is included in the sale, which is housed in the unit when you’re on the move. There are also four tie-down loops, making it easy to secure your bike. The track has 7.5 inches of usable width, which is the widest on this list and makes this model suitable for bikes with tires up to 190 mm wide.Īlthough this carrier is great for large motorcycles, it’s just as capable if you need to bring your kid’s YZ 85 to the track, thanks to the wheel-chock cradle that works with an adjustable eight-hole design. It’s 79 inches long and mounts to your vehicle using a 2-inch receiver. Its heavy-duty construction gives it a maximum load capacity of 600 pounds, so unless you want to haul some of the largest touring bikes in the world, this carrier will have you covered. This model is made from alloy steel and tops the scales at 98 pounds, making it one of the heaviest models on the market. If you’re as likely to transport a Fireblade as you are a CRF 450, then the Goplus Motorcycle Carrier is for you. You’ll also need to buy the ramp separately, but there’s a position to mount it on the track. This carrier will mount to any Class III 2-inch receiver, but you’ll need to buy a silent hitch pin separately to stop play in the hitch. Even if you’re transporting a large bike, you can rest easy thanks to the front-wheel stop and four tie-down bars. One of this model’s standout features is that it’s suitable for motorcycles with tires up to 180 mm, meaning you’ll be able to carry a wider range of bikes compared to other carriers on the market. It’s not recommended for use with scooters that weigh more than 300 pounds due to their rear-weight bias. All this durability doesn’t come at the price of added weight, however, as this model is just 50 pounds.

The all-welded construction has a powder-coated black finish and a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds. This model comes with an industry-leading three-year warranty, so you know it’s built to last. As you’d expect with any brand that’s been in production for so long, the products are reliable, and the kinks have been worked out. This brand was a pioneer in the industry, to the point that some people still refer to motorcycle hitch carriers as Joe Haulers. If you’re familiar with motorcycle hitch carriers, chances are you know the Joe Hauler Standard Single Hauler. If you opt for the ramp, the entire unit weighs 82 pounds. Unfortunately, a ramp isn’t included in the sale, but you can choose to include a 60-inch ramp for extra. A built-in hitch at the end of the carrier enables you to tow an additional 3,000 pounds. There are two reflectors located at the rear, which add an extra element of safety when driving at night. Included in the sale are four retractable tie-down bars and a wheel stop, so you can have faith that your bike’s not going anywhere once it’s secured. It can accommodate bikes with wheels up to 5 ½ inches wide, which is wider than some products on this list, but it’s still unsuitable for some bikes. The carrier is 71 ½ inches long, so you’ll have a hard time finding a bike with a wheelbase that it can’t manage. It’s designed to work with 2-inch Class III and IV hitch receivers. This model is made from powder-coated steel, which is durable and can support a maximum load of 500 pounds. The VersaHaul Steel Motorcycle Carrier fulfills the requirements of what a motorcycle carrier should do and then takes things a step further. This track is best suited to motocross and small bikes with a maximum tire width of 4.75 inches. This carrier is only suitable for use with Class III and IV trailer hitches. You can adjust these bolts to make them fit snugly on either side of the tire - a useful feature if you need to transport different bikes. Another feature that keeps your bike secure is the wheel track carrier bolts, which your bike’s tires slot through. Keeping things steady is an anti-tilt device, which should eliminate excessive movement while you’re driving. This ramp could be more secure as it can fall off the track when loading or unloading your bike, but it attaches to the carrier when you’re on the move, so it won’t take up space in your truck. Included in the sale is a ramp that fits on either side of the carrier. This model is a fantastic value, especially when you consider that it features a powder-coated all-steel construction and has a maximum load capacity of 500 pounds. The Trackside Motorcycle Carrier is one of the most efficient ways to get your dirt bike to and from the track.
