Black Widow Motorcycle Hitch Carrier with Ramp, Class III or IV, 600 lb Capacity

I was a bit hesitant about buying this ramp for my street bike but after building it today , this is some pretty sturdy stuff. After reading some of the reviews i thought I’d use some thread locker on the bolts I haven’t yet but I’m going to try it without first to see if the reviews were correct or not. We shall see. I would also like to add that build was super easy although I did have one piece that was slightly bent due to delivery and the box being a bit torn tells me it was during delivery not manufactured. Anywho this is a great buy. Also word of advice if your bike is 400lbs don’t buy the max weight and expect it to work at its max.. get the 600lb one.

I recently used the Black Widow Steel Motorcycle Carrier with Ramp for a 2-inch receiver (600 lb capacity) and was impressed with its sturdiness and ease of use. The carrier feels well-built and secure, and my 430 lb bike stayed stable during transport. The included ramp made loading straightforward. The only minor challenge was getting the front tire into and out of the wheel chock—I needed an extra set of hands for that step. Once the bike was in place, everything felt solid and safe. Overall, this carrier is a great option for anyone looking for a reliable way to haul their motorcycle. Highly recommend for its durability and value!

functions fine. Heavy duty. Only drawback is the mounting bolts are hard to keep tight with my 4 inch to regular ball adaptor and loosen over a drive. A better than the 3 bolt secure system under the ball hitch would be great. It is heavy and a bit hard for one person to install. The ramp however makes it easy to unload my 100 pound ebike alone and load. just don't lose the wing nuts like i did.

I used this rack to take my Triumph Street Twin (437lbs dry) from California to Vermont, and had no issues. It was quick and easy to assemble, and everything feels pretty high quality. I was able to get the bike on and off by myself with just a little bit of a running start, but neither my hitch nor my handlebars are that high, so you might need assistance depending on your setup. The one *big* caveat is, if you follow the instructions that come with it, they'll tell you to tie the bike down to the four lower tiedown points on the rack and go for it. That might be fine for short, gentle trips around town, but on the highway, the bike sways front to back (side to side from the bike's point of view) like *crazy*! Within 15 minutes of driving on the highway I hit a bump and the bike's handlebar smacked into the back of my van. I was watching it in the rear view camera and I thought for sure the thing was going to fall right off. Luckily my van has some beefy hinges higher up, so I added some stabilizing straps going from those to the top of the bike, and that took all of the sway out of it. With those, you could probably even forego the forward lower straps tying down to the rack, but I always use those anyway for redundancy. So as long as you add some upper anti-sway straps, the rack works great, but I wouldn't go far without them. Also don't forget to move your license plate somewhere visible or you might get pulled over in Nevada. 😅

Been using this carrier for over a year for 8+ track days and works perfectly every time. Mine does not sway, however I do not use the included hitch tightener. I bought the “CZC AUTO Hitch Tightener Heavy Duty” and it locks the carrier in with very little movement. Maybe a beefier tightener will fix the sway. My bike is probably 425lbs at most and the carrier does not flex during loading or transport. For the people who have had issues with buckling, maybe it was a bad unit. Overall this carrier has made my life so much easier. It’s easy to install and put the bike on and has allowed me to travel to many events in the comfort of my jeep. It also stores in the garage very conveniently with a minimal footprint. Great value for the money, I’d recommend to anyone who can’t have a proper trailer

Do not buy this! Metal is weak and if you barely get the tire on the edge you can see the metal start to bend. The system to the lock the wheel is not a good design. It took 2 people to push it over to lock in place. When I was doing it I thought I might drop the bike. Had I read the reviews before I would not have bought it. To top it off when I sent it back they ripped me off for $200. I had all the bolts, nuts, and washers back in the bag and everything in the original box.

I was very skeptical when buying it as it does not have a spot to really tie off to on the side of the bike other than the four rings. I put it together in about 14 minutes and mounted it to my vehicle. I then put the bike up on it by myself and strapped it down by myself. I am sure I over strapped it with 5 ratchets but I’m like that. If it needs four, it gets 5, etc. anyway, long story short, I kept going around ratcheting and straightening for about another 10 minutes and we’ll, it never shifted. I drove it about 600 miles over back country roads and highways and pot holes and road construction. It made it. It did the job. Lightweight? Not at all. Sturdy? Yes. Easy to put together? Yes and with the right tools it’s very quick. I did use a locking pin for my travel rather than the included pin and clip pin. Also, it does NOT come with straps. Get yourself some good ones that you feel comfortable with and have the proper load and break ratings. One thing about it though was trying to put the ramp on the storage pins, with how I strapped the base of the motor mount it brought the strap over the mounting location so I stored the ramp inside the vehicle, down the center of the vehicle so as to avoid being impaled if by chance we were rear ended.

It does the job fine but it’s too heavy to load/unload into the hitch. Also, loading a motorcycle is tricky because of the small arms at the end. It’s easy to get pinned at the knee if you are not careful. Do put add a fith small strap from the center of the handle bars to the two hitch itself. It will keep the bike from bobbing on the hwy.

I'm on a third floor, in an apartment building without an elevator. Kind of a pain to carry up and down the stairs, but it's solid, offers tie down points and accommodates large tires. It's exactly what it needs to be.

easy to assemble, but heavy so be ready! Worked great from my Honda CRF300L (over 300 lbs and tall). Easy on and off. Use the hitch stablizer and proper ratchet straps (I used 6 to be safe) and you will have no issues.

Very solid product.

For the money I can't find fault in this carrier. It handles my Grom with ease and the included anti-rattle device is very nice. I wouldn't load it up to the full 600lbs rating, but that's my conservative nature.

DO NOT BUY THIS!! Took twice as long to ship as it should. Was missing bolts I had to go to store to replace.... and now it’s installed and it saves like nuts, my hitch is rated for 750 pounds, the carrier rated for 600 pounds and my bike is 405 pounds, it is so sketchy it looks terrible and I wouldn’t trust it further than I could throw it. Complete garbage
