Use This Post Clip for Email

With its innovative double-folding ramp, this trailer hitch cargo carrier from CURT helps you transport bigger items but stands half as tall when folded up for travel, reducing obstruction and drastically limiting wind drag. Built from black carbide powder-coated aluminum, the 18112 cargo carrier is perfect for hauling bulky items like lawn mowers, snow blowers, mobility scooters, or just stashing some extra camping gear.

CURT designed the versatile ramp to be the heart of the design: it folds out for easy loading; it folds in half for transport; and it can fold completely into the carrier itself to remain out of the way when not in use. The shank also folds up to facilitate vehicle parking and storage.

The hitch carrier is rated at 500 lb, leveraging fully welded tubes for dependable strength. It includes an anti-rattle hitch pin that won’t drive you crazy on the road and built-in reflectors to let other drivers know you’re there. The standard, folding 2” shank fits most class 3, 4, and 5 hitches, while the 50” x 30.5” x 4” basket has built-in eye bolts to fasten ratchet straps, a cargo net, or bungee cords.

Features

  • Fully welded aluminum
  • Mounts to any 2” x 2” receiver tube
  • Rated to carry up to 500 lb
  • Carrier measures 50” x 30.5” x 4”
  • Built-in ramp for easy loading of lawn mowers, scooters, and similar equipment
  • Three-position, double-folding ramp sits half as high as other models in transport.
  • Threaded anti-rattle shank
  • Integrated eye bolts for attachment and security
  • Built-in reflectors
  • Warranty: limited lifetime

CURT: Second-Straight SEMA Best New Exterior Accessory Award

John Arnaud Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

A year after its BetterWeigh™ mobile towing scale won the Best New Exterior Accessory Award at SEMA, CURT repeated its success with the universal tri-ball coupler lock (23082) in 2020. The tri-ball component lets the lock fit virtually all standard coupler sizes: 1 7/8”, 2”, and 2 5/16”. 

This product represents a unique approach to trailer security.  First, it can be used while the trailer is hooked up for towing or left unattended. Second, it features unique built-in breaking points. When struck with enough force, the tri-ball will break off at the base—leaving the ball inserted in the coupler, where it continues to prevent unauthorized trailer hookup.  

Congratulations to CURT for its continued innovation!

WARN even designed the system to allow for the pairing and switching among multiple HUB receivers from one device.
