Black Widow AMC-400 Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier — Hitch Mounted, No Trailer
Towing a trailer for one small bike means storing a trailer, registering a trailer, reversing a trailer and paying for a trailer. For a dirt bike or a scooter that is a lot of infrastructure for a short trip.
The AMC-400 carries the bike on the tow hitch instead. A 75-1/4 inch track holds up to 400 lbs, a 47 inch ramp loads it, and the whole carrier is 36.5 lbs of aluminum.
Why Choose the AMC-400
Hitch-mounted transport with nothing to tow.
-
Mounts to a 2 in receiver — Class III or IV, so most trucks and SUVs already have one.
-
47 in loading ramp — the bike is walked up, not lifted.
-
36.5 lbs of aluminum — lifted on and off the hitch by one person, and it will not rust.
-
75-1/4 in track — full wheelbase support for dirt bikes and scooters.

Check the Hitch Rating, Not Just the Carrier
The number that limits a hitch carrier is rarely the carrier. It is the receiver's tongue weight rating, and a bike sitting several feet behind the bumper applies leverage that a straight 400 lbs on the ball does not.
This carrier requires a Class III or IV receiver in the 2 inch size for that reason. Both classes carry the tongue weight a loaded carrier generates; a Class I or II receiver does not.
Within that, 400 lbs covers most dirt bikes, trail bikes and scooters comfortably. A full-size road bike is outside it — that is a trailer job.
Aluminum Because It Comes On and Off
A hitch carrier is not a permanent fixture. It goes on for the trip and comes off so the receiver is free, which means it gets carried by hand several times a season.
At 36.5 lbs this one is a genuine one-person lift. Steel at the same size would be closer to seventy, and would start rusting at the first stone chip.
The 47-inch ramp is the other half of making it a one-person job — a bike is walked up it rather than lifted onto the track, which is the part that otherwise needs a second person.
The Right Motorcycle Carrier for Your Truck
