cargo hitch for eu 3000

I looked through archives but didn't find it. It was one of the more expensive ones. Just wanted to compare it to others thanks. It doesn't come up guess I need a specific brand name.
  • The Torklift Lock and Load Maximum Security Cargo Tray is a very fine product but it is also very expensive over $500 if you order from them.
  • If you or friend are adept at fabrication, you can make one for less than the Torklift model although I doubt you will have their adjustability in all three planes. To pay someone to design, plasma cut and weld up a custom made unit that does not steal from Torklift's model may come in slightly less, but would it come with a lifetime guarantee? It comes down how much flexibility you need in a locking rack.
  • Here are some pictures of my generator setup with my Honda eu3000.

    I bought a cargo rack from I think TSC which was plenty heavy duty, I think rated for 500 pounds. Then I bought a front receiver hitch from curt for $115.00 delivered to my front door. You will notice in the picture I had a welder weld metal plates into the base of the generator. Slid underneath, nothing is welded to the generator but the cargo rack and generator are one. Then I lock the cargo rack in with the highest quality locking pin I could find. I use this rig on the back of my 5th wheel setup and on the front of my truck camper setup. When not in the receiver hitch everything is accessible for working on the generator. I have been using this, this way for 9 years and many many thousands of miles with no problems.
