Carrier systems for panel vans and motorhomes: a comparison

The user-friendly TRIGO-VAN bicycle carrier keeps the rear doors accessible at all times. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the carrier system can be swivelled safely and easily around 100 degrees to the side, even when fully loaded. With a payload of up to 80 kg, the TRIGO-VAN can carry up to three bicycles or e-bikes.

The sturdy construction protects doors and hinges from damage. Additional safety is provided by ratchet quick-release fasteners on the bicycle rails and support arms, as well as an automatically engaging locking mechanism.

When not in use, the transport platform can be folded upwards to save space. An existing towbar remains usable in this position. The TRIGO-VAN is available for the Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer and Citroën Jumper, among others, with rear doors opening through 180 degrees.

The new KAWA combines a high payload with versatile transport options and easy handling. Its low-profile design and foldable transport platform make the rear carrier a practical solution for panel vans. With a payload of up to 150 kg, you can transport up to four bicycles, one scooter or a combination of a scooter and bicycles, depending on the conversion kit.

The platform can be extended telescopically from 620 to 740 mm as standard, offering flexibility for various transport tasks. Conversion kits for fat bikes are also available. Ratchet quick-release fasteners make securing the load easier, while optional loading ramps help you load heavy e-bikes with less effort.

The support bar can be removed using a quick-release fastener to allow access to the rear doors. When not in use, the transport platform can be folded up to save space. The KAWA is also available with optional LED lighting.

The VELO VAN was specially developed for transporting bicycles and e-bikes at the rear of panel vans. With a payload of up to 80 kg, it can carry up to three bicycles or e-bikes. Special conversion kits also allow fat bikes to be transported.

One of its main advantages is the integrated swivelling function. This means the rear doors remain accessible even when the carrier is fully loaded, without having to remove the bikes first.
The aluminium construction combines light weight with high stability. The transport platform can be folded up when not in use. The VELO VAN can also be removed without tools and is available with LED lighting.

The VARIO VAN combines high payload capacity, adjustable loading depth and easy handling. With a payload of up to 130 kg, the rear carrier offers several transport options: Depending on the conversion kit, it can carry up to four bicycles or e-bikes, one scooter with up to two bicycles or several fat bikes.

The transport platform can be extended telescopically from 620 to 740 mm as standard and folded upwards when not in use. Thanks to the swivelling function, the rear doors remain accessible even when the carrier is loaded.

Support arms and bicycle rails with ratchet quick-release fasteners keep the load securely in place. The low loading height and optional ramps make it easier to load heavy two-wheelers. The VARIO VAN can also be removed without tools and is available with LED lighting.

With its low weight of around 16 kg, the VELO is a genuine lightweight among rear carriers. Despite its compact construction, it has a payload of up to 80 kg and can carry up to three bicycles or two e-bikes.

Extra convenience is provided by the foldable transport platform. When the platform is folded up or down, the lighting support automatically moves into position. The VELO therefore combines low weight, simple operation and modern design.

The BASIC is AL-KO VT's entry-level rear carrier. With a payload of up to 120 kg, it can carry up to four bicycles or a light scooter and an additional bicycle, depending on the conversion kit.

Thanks to special fastening components, the rear carrier can be mounted on the vehicle chassis without drilling. The low loading height makes loading and unloading easier, while an optionally available extension increases the loading depth from 510 to 820 mm.

The BASIC can also be retrofitted with the BIKEY tarpaulin box. This provides additional storage space for luggage and travel gear, helping to protect the contents from road spray, dirt and prying eyes.

The VARIO combines modern design with high flexibility and ease of use. The adjustable loading depth ranges from 620 to 800 mm. Together with its payload of up to 150 kg, this allows for versatile transport options for bicycles, e-bikes and scooters. Special conversion kits are also available for fat bikes and tricycles.

The single-lever folding mechanism makes the carrier easier to use. With the single-lever folding mechanism, the transport platform folds up easily and the lighting support automatically moves into position, saving space when the carrier is not in use.

In addition to the standard version, the rear carrier is available as the VARIO LED with modern LED lighting.

The latest generation of the LIGERO has an impressive payload of up to 150 kg and weighs around 5 kg less than its predecessor. It combines a stable design with easy handling.

One of its key features is the telescopic transport platform, included as standard. It can be extended from 600 to 930 mm, providing space for different two-wheelers and load combinations. In addition to bicycles and scooters, special conversion kits for fat bikes and tricycles are also available.

The LIGERO is also available in the LIGERO LED version with LED lighting.

The TRAIGO is an especially lightweight and compact trailer for transporting a range of two-wheelers. With an unladen weight of around 160 kg and a payload of up to 340 kg, it provides ample capacity for different transport needs.

Depending on the conversion kit, it can carry a scooter or up to four bicycles or e-bikes. Suitable solutions are also available for fat bikes. The different mounts can be positioned flexibly on the platform to secure various types of two-wheelers.

Another benefit is its compact design: Bicycles and scooters are carried across the direction of travel, keeping the trailer's overall length short. This makes manoeuvring and parking easier, particularly at narrow campsite pitches or in tight parking spaces.

The loading area measures 1,900 × 720 mm and the loading height is around 640 mm. An optional loading aid with a cable winch makes loading a scooter easier.

The WHEELY is a universal trailer that can be adapted to different transport needs thanks to its modular design. With the appropriate conversion kits, it can safely carry bicycles, e-bikes, scooters or a motorbike.

The platform offers plenty of space, measuring 2,000 × 800 mm, with a relatively low loading height of around 620 mm.

A wide range of conversion kits and accessories is available for different configurations, including bicycle rails, side walls, storage boxes and motorbike loading aids. The adjustable axle and extendable drawbar also allow the trailer to be adapted to different transport needs.
