Hitch Cargo Carrier with Ramp 46.2 x 26.8 in - Foldable 500 lb

In this review of the ECOTRIC hitch cargo carrier with ramp, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, heavy-duty solution for transporting wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and similar equipment for users who need a straightforward hitch-mounted carrier that doubles as a ramp. It is best for people who own a vehicle with a 2 in receiver and want a robust platform with multiple folding positions; the single biggest reason to buy is the combined carrier-and-ramp design that simplifies loading and saves the need for a separate ramp.

Key Features

• Dual function: Serves as both a platform carrier and a folding ramp so users can load mobility devices directly onto the vehicle hitch without separate equipment.
• Sturdy construction: Heavy-duty steel frame with a black powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance and a solid base for heavy loads.
• Multiple positions: Locks in three positions - closed flat, open L-shape, and open flat - for towing, partial ramp use, or full ramp deployment.
• Generous platform: The platform measures 26.8 x 46.2 in, offering ample area for most wheelchairs and small scooters to sit securely during transport.
• High capacity: Rated to support up to 500 lb, making it suitable for many mobility devices within common weight ranges.
• Tie-down options: Multiple tie-down holes on the ramp sides let users secure devices with straps for safer transport.

Who It's For

This carrier is aimed at owners of SUVs, trucks, and vans with a 2 in hitch (hitch class III or IV) who need a permanent, hitch-mounted solution to carry a wheelchair or lightweight mobility scooter. It suits caregivers and active users who prefer loading devices from the rear using a ramp rather than lifting into an interior cargo area.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who require an anti-wobble plate or vibration isolation built into the product, or users who want a lighter, easy-assembly carrier; several customers reported alignment and assembly challenges that make it less ideal for someone seeking a plug-and-play setup.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid platform and ramp design that doubles as a carrier, reducing gear to carry separately.
• High 500 lb capacity and a large 26.8 x 46.2 in platform that fits many devices.
• Three locking positions and built-in tie-down holes increase versatility and security.

Cons

• Assembly can be challenging and some users reported alignment or weld concerns during installation.
• Hitch wobble is possible; a hitch tightener is recommended because an anti-wobble plate is not included.
