Towing Height Extension
Add height to your rack
Lift your bikes another 300mm with the Towing Height Extension Kit in order to clear jockey wheel handles, gas bottles, etc. on your caravan's 'A' frame. It is supplied with a special, large padlock which locks the height extension to the upright (S-tube) of your MAXXRAXX bike rack.
The Towing Height Extension requires 2 Auxiliary Straps to restrain the raised load. It is essential that both Auxiliary Straps are always employed when using the Height Extension.
All 4 and 5-bike racks are supplied with 2 Auxiliary Straps so you need only purchase the basic height extension (20ET40). Our 2-bike racks are supplied without Auxiliary Straps as none are needed in normal circumstances. If you are buying or already own a 2-bike rack and wish to use the Height Extension Kit, you require the kit (20ET42) which includes 2 Auxiliary Straps.

Please be aware that every combination of vehicle and caravan/trailer is different and that the space available for bikes may be restricted. How many bikes you can carry and tow at the same time will be limited by the dimensions of the specific shape and size of your particular towing set-up.
This PDF document is a plan which gives guidance on the clearance needed when towing and carrying. It states how many bikes will fit in the space between the back of the vehicle and front of the caravan and this includes the minimum distance you require to ensure clearance when turning using each of our racks.
You should not exceed the recommended nose weight rating of your vehicle. This could limit the number of bikes you are able to carry on your particular vehicle, especially if you will be towing at the same time.
