Frequently Asked Questions

Will this motorcycle carrier fit my vehicle's towbar?

The Giantz Motorcycle Carrier features a 2" hitch mount that's compatible with Class I, II, III, IV, and V trailer hitches. This makes it suitable for most Australian vehicles with standard towbars. Before purchasing, check your vehicle's hitch receiver size—it needs to be a 2" square receiver. If you're unsure, consult your vehicle's manual or have your mechanic confirm the hitch size.

How much weight can this motorcycle carrier hold?

The Giantz carrier has a loading capacity of 227kg (500lbs), which is more than sufficient for most standard motorcycles and bikes. This includes the weight of the motorcycle plus any additional gear or equipment you're transporting. The heavy-duty steel construction with reinforced fixings ensures it can handle this capacity safely and securely.

What's included with the carrier, and do I need to buy anything else?

Your purchase includes the motorcycle carrier itself and a user manual. However, you'll need to purchase tie-down straps separately—these aren't included but are essential for securing your motorcycle during transport. Most Australian auto parts stores and online retailers stock heavy-duty motorcycle tie-down straps at reasonable prices. Always use proper straps to meet local traffic regulations and ensure safe transport.

How easy is it to load a motorcycle onto this carrier?

Loading is straightforward thanks to the double-sided loading ramp (39" x 6.7") that can be used from either side of the carrier. The ramp enables easy up and down movement of your motorcycle. Once loaded, the motorcycle is held securely with a close-fitting front tyre channel, a 3-position adjustable front wheel chock, and a 3-position adjustable anti-tilt holder. This design keeps your bike steady and firm during transport.

Can I return this if it doesn't fit my vehicle?

Yes, Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, so you have a full month to test the carrier on your vehicle and ensure it fits properly. If there's any issue with compatibility or if you're not satisfied, you can arrange a return through Yarra Supply's customer service. Just make sure to check the 2" hitch requirement before ordering to avoid any compatibility issues.

Is this carrier suitable for Australian road conditions and legal requirements?

Yes, the Giantz carrier is designed for safe motorcycle transport and works well on Australian roads. However, you must follow your state's relevant traffic requirements and regulations when using the carrier. This typically includes ensuring the motorcycle is properly secured with tie-down straps, that nothing obstructs lights or number plates, and that the load doesn't exceed your vehicle's towing capacity. Check with your local transport authority for specific requirements in your state.

Can I use this carrier for anything other than motorcycles?

While designed for motorcycles, the carrier's sturdy construction means it can also be used for vehicles with their tyres backed up onto the carrier platform—useful if you're transporting larger equipment or need extra storage space. The motorcycle platform dimensions are 195cm x 18cm x 5cm, and with a 227kg capacity, you have flexibility in what you transport, provided it's properly secured and legal on Australian roads.
