You can’t have a list of the best wheelchair carriers without including the ECOTRIC Hitch-Mounted Cargo Carrier. This bad boy is designed to carry up to 500 pounds of gear, and it comes with a safety rail and a 2″ hitch receiver. It weighs only 73 pounds.
We nominated this bad boy on our list because it’s built with heavy-duty steel construction that can stand up to whatever life throws at it. The hitch receiver can handle class III or IV hitches, and the safety rail is made from 3″ tubing. All four corners are welded together for added strength and durability rather than bolted together like some models. As the best cargo carrier for wheelchairs around, it’s also designed with locking arms to keep your cargo secure on long trips—and when you’re not using it to carry a wheelchair, the extra width makes for an excellent place to store tools and other items in your trunk!
Compared to other carriers in the listing, such as the MAXX HAUL 70275 Carrier, it is small. The MAXHAUL model measures 53 x 31.8 x 8.2 inches, while this model has a volume of 29 x 43 x 5 inches. However, both are strong enough and can support up to 500 pounds of load.
