Why Rack N Roll Has Switched to Aluminum Motorcycle Hitch Carriers: A Step Forward in Quality and Performance
At Rack N Roll, we’re passionate about delivering top-tier motorcycle hitch carriers to riders across Australia and beyond. For years, we offered both steel and aluminum options, letting our customers choose what suited them best. While steel had its dedicated supporters, our aluminum carriers consistently led the pack in sales—and it’s easy to see why. After listening to your feedback and evaluating what delivers the best experience, we’ve decided to go all-in on aluminum for our heavy-duty motorcycle hitch carriers. Here’s why this change benefits every rider, even those who once preferred steel.
The Standout Benefits of Aluminum
Aluminum isn’t just a popular choice—it’s a smart one. Here’s what makes it the ideal material for motorcycle hitch carriers:
- Lighter Weight for Easier Handling
Aluminum is significantly lighter than steel, making our carriers a breeze to lift, install, and remove. Whether you’re loading up solo or prepping for a quick getaway, this reduced weight saves you effort and time—without sacrificing strength. - Rust Resistance Built to Last
Steel carriers can struggle with rust, especially in Australia’s tough conditions—think coastal salt air or dusty outback roads. Aluminum, however, shrugs off corrosion naturally. That means less upkeep for you and a carrier that stays in top shape for years, no matter where your rides take you. - Strength That Matches Steel
Worried aluminum might not hold up? Think again. Our carriers are crafted from high-grade aluminum alloys, engineered to handle the heaviest loads just as well as steel. From dirt bikes to hefty adventure motorcycles, our aluminum designs are tested to tackle the toughest trails with confidence.
Understanding the Steel Appeal
We get it—some riders loved steel carriers, and we respect that. Maybe it was the classic heft, a sense of rugged durability, or even the look that drew them in. While we’ve moved away from steel, we want to assure those customers that aluminum delivers everything they valued, plus some serious upgrades.
- Durability Redefined
Steel’s reputation for toughness is well-earned, but aluminum is no lightweight contender. Our carriers use advanced alloys and smart engineering to match steel’s resilience. Better yet, aluminum’s flexibility helps it absorb shocks and resist cracking—giving you durability that stands the test of time. - A Look That Turns Heads
If steel’s aesthetic was your thing, aluminum won’t disappoint. Our carriers come with premium powder-coated finishes that not only protect against wear but also give a sharp, modern vibe. It’s rugged style meets practical performance. - Room for Innovation
Aluminum’s versatility in manufacturing lets us push the envelope. Lighter and easier to shape than steel, it opens the door to fresh designs—like enhanced ramps or smarter tie-downs—that make your carrier work harder for you.
Why Aluminum Wins for Riders
This switch to aluminum isn’t just a change—it’s a commitment to giving you the best. Here’s why it’s the future of motorcycle hitch carriers:
- Effortless Convenience
A lighter carrier means less hassle and more riding. Aluminum streamlines the setup process, so you’re on the road faster—perfect for weekend warriors and daily riders alike. - Long-Term Savings
With no rust to battle, your aluminum carrier stays strong longer. Fewer repairs or replacements mean more value for your investment over time. - Versatility for Every Bike
Our aluminum carriers are built to haul everything from nimble motocross bikes to burly tourers. Whatever you ride, we’ve got you covered with uncompromising quality.
To Our Steel Loyalists
We know letting go of steel might feel like a leap, and we appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us. That’s why we’re so excited for you to try our aluminum carriers. They bring the same reliability you loved, paired with benefits steel simply can’t match. Give it a go—we’re betting you’ll feel the difference from the first ride.
The Bottom Line
Switching to aluminum is about more than manufacturing—it’s about elevating your experience as a rider. Lighter, tougher on rust, and just as strong as steel, aluminum is the clear choice for today’s motorcycle hitch carriers. At Rack N Roll, we’re proud to lead this shift and can’t wait for you to see the results.
