It’s down to better design, better quality, better safety, overall ease of use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese carriers are supplied ready to go; no assembly work is required.The patented conical tow ball clamp fits onto all 50mm diameter tow balls, even the ones which don’t meet BS standards with e.g. rough casting around the tow ball neck. Fitting is a matter of spinning a hand-turning wheel, a really quick, easy and ergonomically satisfactory thing to do. Turn the key in the tightening wheel and the carrier is then locked to the tow ball. Additional tensioning of a Nylock nut is sometimes required (spanner supplied), depending on the tow ball, to make sure the carrier is firm. It’s fine engineering, and strong – the Moose has been TÜV approved to the proposed ISO standard R18-904-4, a standard some way tougher than current requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTilting is a safe single-handed operation, even with the bikes fitted. The Moose 4 tilts to allow access to the boot on most cars. If you have a van or an MPV with a vertical tailgate, and you want to be able to access the boot with the bikes loaded, we recommend the Atera STRADA DL3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bike frame holders need to be adjusted on the support arms first time out – distances between bikes may vary – before being tightened in place (tool supplied).
