Time to give this thread a tickle because a lot has been happening.
Over the past few years or so we've been lucky to have built a very strong reputation in the trailer industry and have been commissioned by a number of trailer and caravan manufacturers to deliver the strongest and most convenient carrier solutions for their products - and for a whole bunch of people who want to use their carrier on their trailers.
Trailer dynamics are vastly different to those of a passenger or 4x4 vehicle and unfortunately most manufacturers have sad tales of popular brands that don't deliver the goods past the showroom floor - which is why we have been engaged to work with those manufactures to develop highly effective solutions. Kind of cool really for a 100% Aussie product manufactured from 100% Aussie steels and materials. Pleasing export numbers to overseas clients as well which is even more pleasing.
Earning trust is hard work - but rewarding.
A few random trailer and caravan examples:
Several types that require the carrier to be lowered to deploy fold-out and slide-out compartments such as the Jayco Expanda. Typical feedback is
"you cannot beat this for function. Drops to the ground at the pull of a pin, and a lock for when lifting it up prior to inserting the securing pin. Solid as a rock. Looks great, and the function A grade. Totally recommend this mod, it will cost a bit more, but it will go anywhere."
A super-tough solution demanded by Ultimate - with 10 second bicycle deployment and no more than 30 seconds to deploy the fold-down rear step. Nothing could protrude to either side of the trailer either which killed most of the rest of the carrier market. Typical feedback is
"I have your extreme bike carrier and love it. We regularly recommend yours as the only one to consider.
I have pawed over your web adventures for some time and was inspired enough to bite the bullet."
"The bike rack has been everything we've hoped for and more."
Trackabout have been a sensational local manufacturer too and it's very pleasing to see just how much stock they deliver to their customers.
Trackabout fabricate a bolt-on mount using our weld-on forward tilt pivot base.
Complete Campsite - another Australian high end manufacturer have it nailed with their Exodus van.
They also offer an assisted solution so that their customers can access the front storage compartment with the flip of a lever.
Stacks of CUB trailer owners out there enjoying all that Australia has to offer.
Kimberley, who at the top end of the Adventure caravan market demand the best from everything bolted to their products deliver our Kimberley carrier on their full size luxury Kruiser.
And the same carrier on Kimberley's go-anywhere Karavan product.
Then you have enthusiasts who have a sturdy mount installed to their trailer and head into terrain that would normally kill a carrier and the bikes.
"If it’s worth doing, do it right the first time.
We purchased our bike carrier in December and absolutely love it!! Been meaning to send photos of the set up from our xmas camping trip.
You guys make an awesome awesome product and we are very happy with it"
"Your design is great, the bikes sit well with very little movement, and are really easy to get on and off "
"It has been some time since our last correspondence and I would like to say that your product performance has been fantastic. "
Each and every trailer and caravan product delivered is designed to be slipped from trailer to car or back in a minute. Sensational when you're base camped with the van and want to explore further into areas that may not be appropriate to drag the van through.
The *best* part of this industry is that we have caravan and trailer clients who use our bicycle carrier product come back to share their wonderful travel experiences with us. It's because we all have a lot in common and we get out and use the product at *every* opportunity. Leading by example is the best fun!
