Thought you might have shown: 1. The pivot function 2. Boot opening with bikes still attached in pivot down 3. How the assembly attaches to the hitch receiver.
We've had the 4 bike version on our jayco, ranger & subie for a few years. Top notch. Solid, reliable. Quick to put on vehs, load bikes and take off when tired! No rattles or vibrating loose. Best solution we've seen. Would buy another in a heartbeat. George & his staff are also fantastic to deal with. PP
Good point Phil as this applies to all sorts of equipment. Security is an interesting thing in terms of human behavior. I find the most practical is a good quality bicycle security cable and pad lock. Looped through the bicycle frames, through the carrier and pivot base and then secured to the vehicle chassis. Locks the bikes to the carrier and then the carrier to the car. This is a highly effective solution because it discourages the opportunistic thief and does not tempt the honest man. If you go overboard, you present a challenge to a would-be vandal. Conversely, covert or subdued security does not discourage until after they have attempted theft. After all these years we have never had a problem - even overnight in Halls Creek. The only thing is that you should never drive with the security cable attached. If anything is going to snag a branch or rock it'll be the cable.
iSi Bicycle Carriers I hear what you are saying and I’ve found the opportunist is everywhere.Ive had things walk around caravan parks especially. I guess I could always replace the the T handles with hex head and at least the they would need a spanner. Better still those free spinning keyed ratchet wheels could be the go... regardless I like your set up and especially how you can change to caravan off vehicle...
How many pivot options are available on this? When not in use, is there an additional pivot/"storage" option so that the rack is parallel to the rear door/tailgate/hatch (thus decreasing the overall length of the vehicle)? Thanks!
Hello Brad. Thanks for your message. Yes, absolutely perfect on the back of the 75 with rear wheel carriers. Being a 75 I'm guessing that it's a tray with canopy and rear mounted spares as opposed to a troopy with a rear bar and wheel carriers. We typically specify the 442-600-40 main beam which is a good deal longer than that shown to deliver the clearance required and maintain that golden 40 degree departure angle. Plenty of examples as you scroll down this web page: www.isi-carriers.com/customers/isi-bicycle-carrier-customers.html. You'll have to make contact with the guys at sales@isi-carriers.com and they will configure the ideal combination of modular extreme duty components to suit. Weight depends upon the exact combination of parts. The carrier assembly shown weighs some 12kg and rated for a load of 64kg under harsh off-road operation.

What are the carrier and pivot model numbers as fitted to the Fortuner (I assume they are ideal for this vehicle) in the video?

Nice rack but what’s stopping someone loosening the frame supports and walking off with them. is there a way to lock them?

What's the weight thanks? Would this work with a 75 series Landcruiser and dual rear wheels?
