You’ll find this carrier to be a safe and stable option, featuring two quick-release locks to help fasten the bike in place. Designed with sports and enduro bikes in mind, it is good for off-road riders and has no problems with holding your bike stable over bumpy roads. This carrier can be a bit of a challenge to carry on your own, and assembly can be bit a confusing as the instructions are rather ambiguous; it’s a good thing all the bolts are the same size.
This motorcycle carrier arrives in kit form and takes 30-45 minutes to assemble and fix to the back of your vehicle. It can support a load up to 600lb in weight and has a 79” carrier track that is 8” in width. There is also a 79” long loading ramp which has a raised adjustable wheel stop that acts like a stabilising wheel chock which owner’s say makes loading and unloading a bike on your own relatively easy. The loading ramp is easily stored on the carrier although you might need to put a little effort into ensuring the ramp is stored securely as the latch holes may need need to be reemed out.

- Anti-Rust
- Well sized widely applicable mounts using your vehicle’s 2″ receiver

It is essential to check that your vehicle has the capacity to bear the weight – 99lbs carrier weight + bike weight.
We found that this carrier has enough room for large bikes, however there is a possibility of some bending of the platform when carrying heavy bikes over 500lbs. Even though this is a right side load, left side offload carrier which are generally easier, you may still face some difficulty loading – perhaps even a two man job. Speaking of a two man job, If you’re not very good at assembly or instructions you may need some assistance as the assembly instruction manual is rather unclear for some.
- Ideal for larger bikes
- Right side load, left side offload
- Multiple tie down points and wheel chock positions
- Simple to use
- Ratchet straps and covers are not provided
- Heavy bikes may bend the platform
- Unclear Assembly Instructions

Why Buy A Trailer?
If you think about it, a trailer makes a lot of sense. You might be heading off on holiday with your family, pets and baggage included. It certainly wouldn’t be feasible to pack everyone and everything on a few motorcycles and hit the road. With a trailer, you can drive with your family in the car and your motorcycle can tag along silently behind you – there’s no need to sacrifice your leisurely riding time or your family’s comfort.
Trailers are also an ideal solution for things like transporting more than one bike at a time. Off-road enthusiasts often transport their bikes to the start of off-road trails and a trailer makes this so easy to do. A double or triple trailer like the Trinity MT3 means you can share the costs with friends and load the bikes together.
This encourages shared transportation to the starting point and definitely adds to the experience of enjoying the value of community and fellowship with other motorcycle fans. Although trailers are a convenient method of transportation, there are potential risk’s involved that you should be aware of so make sure your safety checks are in place.

Hi,
Did you investigate the Kendon trailers or the Smart-Tow trailers? Their 3 rail trailers are similar design.
Thanks.
Hey Paul, I haven’t looked into them in detail but for a quick glance it definitely seems like a solid option. I do have another article with a few different trail options for you.
Thank you.
From what I can ascertain, Kendon, Tow-Smart, and USA Trailer all buy the same trailer – the Trinity MT3. Kendon adds wheels to store upright and the other two do not. I bought one, so will find out if it does what I want. They do have rampless trailers now for single haul bikes.
Did you end up putting wheels on it? If so, was it pretty straight-forward?
