bak-rak - the load carrier for all reasons

WHAT YOU NEED

The new generation of bak-rak  is completely modular and we will be progressively adding new modules - which is great - but very confusing for the potential user to work out what he/she needs. So below we have given some examples of the likely configurations how they work and what they cost. 

We have also given a code for the combination to make it easier to order. We no longer supply the light bars [ they get smashed by the carriers too easily & they are freely available locally at a competitive price] - but have included our stainless steel locking brackets.

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry two or three bikes which I want to mount on any tow-ball as cheaply as possible.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - The standard base unit will take three roof-type bike-racks directly. A light-bar will almost certainly be needed when the bikes are in position.

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79], bike-racks x3[£45], light bar brkts. [£14], P&P.

COMBINATION - Ask for COMBO A2 or A3 for 2 or 3 bikes respectively.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - A3= £138 inc VAT + £15 P&P / A2 = £123 inc VAT + £15 P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry  four  bikes which I want to mount on any tow-ball even when I change car.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - An Xtender frame will be needed as a 4-bike adapter.  A light-bar will almost certainly be needed when the bikes are in position. Make sure your vehicle tow-bar will carry over 80kg [bikes rate about 15kg for an adult bike].

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79], bike-racks x4[£60],   4-bike Xtender-rak [£25], light bar brkts. [£14], P&P.

COMBINATION - Ask for COMBO B4 for 4 bikes .

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - £178 inc VAT + £15 P&P

NB The latest  Xtender-rak is telescopic - [ when used with a pair of support straps to stabilise the outer end of the rack from a spare wheel or door ] they will allow a 4x4 with a very large spare wheel to still carry 4 bikes. It will also carry 5 smaller bikes with care [but watch the weights!]

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry three  or four bikes which I want to mount on any  tow-bar even if I change car, and I have a big 4x4 with a boot-mounted spare wheel.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - Although the standard base unit will take three bike-racks directly, the spare wheel knocks out position 1. So an Xtender frame will be needed as a 4-bike adapter. This is telescopic - going out to nearly a metre so it should be possible to fit the four bikes with a normal spare tyre with careful spacing of the bikes. A light-bar will almost certainly be needed when the bikes are in position. Use the load straps {£6] if you are running with the bikes mounted well away from the car.

MULTI-RAK PARTS - base [£79], bike-racks x3[£45],  {or x4 @ £60} 4-bike Xtender [£25], light bar brkt. [£14], P&P.

COMBINATION - Ask for COMBO B3 or B4  [3 or 4 bikes].

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - B3 = £163 inc VAT, B4 = £178 + £15 P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry three bikes which I want to mount on any tow-ball and lend to my mates. I already have roof mounted bike racks but want to change the position as my wife cannot lift them into position on the roof. I also have a lighting board from an old trailer that works fine.

MULTI-RAK configuration needed - The standard base unit  will take your three bike-racks directly. An old light-bar may not meet current requirements - but you can always replace this later. We do locking brackets but we will presume you take the option of tying the bar on and skipping the brackets. 

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79], P&P.

COMBINATION - Simply ask for Base-rak.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - £79 inc VAT + £15 P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry a load of luggage and some bikes but a roof-box is too high and slows the car down.

BAK-RAK configuration needed -  The best option is to use our bak-box .

If you mount it on Xtender bars you can carry 1 or 2 bikes as well. You will need a big car to carry this combination [Freelander upward]. USE THE LOAD STRAPS TOO.

We supply a plastic flat-pack bak-box for £79 or the superb reange of aluminium boxes from £200.  You will need a light bar as your lights will be obscured. And away you go - the box behind the car is easy to load and does not increase drag [or fuel consumption]. Make sure you put the bulky & light stuff in the box, the heavy stuff in the car.

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79], Light bar brkts, Xtenders [£25 normal, £45 long]. [£14] P&P.

COMBINATION - Ask for the combination you need. Ask for someone to contact you to discuss if using box and bike racks.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE [exc box] - £93 inc VAT + £15 P&P

TOTAL BAK-BOX PRICE - £79 or £250 inc VAT & P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry a load of luggage. I want to quickly swap to carrying bikes, or I have a 4x4 with a boot-mount spare wheel.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - As in the last need the box will fit behind the car. But if you fit the box to the Quikfit Xtender frames [bike mount] it locks into position but can be unlocked and removed in seconds. With a 4x4 it allows the box to be moved away from the spare wheel. 

You need another Quikfit Xtender for the bike racks [which we will presume you already have]. With these you can change from box to bike racks in around 20 seconds. You may need a light bar as well.

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79],  2 off Xtender-rak [bike mounts] @ £25,  P&P.

COMBINATION - Simply ask for BAK-rak and Xtenders.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - £129 inc VAT + £15 P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to carry simple luggage - a collapsed wheel-chair or push chair / pram or plastic garden chairs or an old/new television or fridge or golf-clubs or a bale of hay. 

BAK-RAK configuration needed - The oblong frame of BAK-rak base means that items such as these can be simply laid on the rack and tied down. If the lights or number plate are obscured then you will need a light board.

BAK-RAK PARTS - base [£79],    P&P.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - £79 inc VAT + £10 P&P

-------------------------------

I NEED - to move stuff around the garden [by hand or behind a garden tractor]. I also want to move similar volumes behind my car [regardless of size] to take it down the dump or to an allotment.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - The bak-rak crate and trolley is what you need. With the crate mounted on the trolley it will tow behind your garden tractor. the crate can then be moved over to the BAK-rak and carry similar volumes of stuff. On a small car it is useful [it will carry 30kg [66 lbs] behind a Saxo] as most garden waste is quite light. Behind a big 4x4 huge amounts of rubbish can be moved. In either case you can use the same kit to collect the kids & their belongings from college. Better and more flexible than a small trailer.

BAK-RAK PARTS - BAK-rak + crate + trolley =   £237, P&P = £20

I NEED - to mount an existing bike rack for a flanged tow-ball on my new swan-neck tow-ball car.

BAK-RAK configuration needed - The swan-neck converter will fit onto the swan-neck and give you a two hole mount. You may need a standard spacer to get it in the right configuration.

BAK-RAK PARTS - converter swan to flange. [£29.99], P&P.

TOTAL BAK-RAK PRICE - £29.99 inc VAT + £8 P&P

You could even put a dog-kennel onto the rack - but make sure the dog can't escape and the opening faces away from the exhaust!!!
