So what's the big deal about Moose? It's down to better design, better quality, better safety, overall ease of use. Consider the following:

These carriers are supplied ready to go; no assembly work is required.
The patented conical tow ball clamp fits onto all 50mm diameter tow balls, even the ones which don't meet BS standards with e.g. rough casting around the tow ball neck.

Fitting is a matter of spinning a hand-turning wheel, a really quick, easy and ergonomically satisfactory thing to do. Turn the key in the tightening wheel and the carrier is then locked to the tow ball.
Additional tensioning of a Nyloc nut is sometimes required (spanner supplied), depending on the tow ball, to make sure the carrier is firm.
It's fine engineering, and strong - the Moose has been TÜV approved to the proposed ISO standard R18-904-4, a standard some way tougher than current requirements.

Tilting is a safe single-handed operation, even with the bikes fitted; the carrier tilts far enough for use even on vehicles with vertical tailgates.
The bike frame holders need to be adjusted on the support arms first time out - distances between bikes may vary - before being tightened in place (tool supplied). They have properly padded cradles and easily adjusted rubber straps.

The support arms are 28cm apart, centre to centre, a distance which will suit the majority of modern frames; we supply a telescopic cross bar for use with non standard frames - see below.

Two top quality 200cm safety straps are also provided (buckles sewn not crimped). One of these should be threaded through all the bike wheels to prevent swaying and friction damage - it's up to you to provide any extra protection required - and the other should be passed through all the bike frames and then looped around the carrier.

The bike holder arms should be moved from the horizontal to the vertical for storage, or when the vehicle is parked up.

Dimensions: 84.5cm high from the centre of the ball and 55.0cm deep from ball centre.

Weight: 8.5kg.

A lighting board will be needed - see below. We also list an electrical adapter which will be needed if you buy our standard 7 pin lighting board and also have a 13 pin electrical system.

The build quality - tube bending, welding, rust proofing, painting, component quality - is exemplary
