The swing arm

It swings. Nothing else does.

Most hitch cargo carriers make you unload the whole tray to open the back of your vehicle. The patented HitchFire dual swing arm rotates up to 180° on a locking hinge, so the platform — loaded — moves out of the way instead.

Loaded, and still out of the way.

What the reviewers said

I’ve been using it for over a month, and having a table on the back of my truck has been a game changer.

“Camping with the Ledge is a no-brainer, but I find it just as handy at the trailhead when I’m prepping for a mountain bike ride and need a space to make a sandwich, or fill a bladder, or just set down all my gear as I pump tires. Having a table off the back of my vehicle makes all those little things easier, not to mention more civilized. Yes, you could just bring a camping table with you and set it up when you need it and take it down when you ride and set it up again when you get back to the car after the ride…but the beauty of the Ledge is that it’s just there when you need it.”

Before you ask

How much weight can it hold?

The Ledge XL is rated to 200 lbs. The Ledge Cargo Platform is rated to 100 lbs. Always stay within your vehicle's hitch tongue weight rating as well.

What size hitch do I need?

A standard 2-inch hitch receiver.

Does the swing arm come with the platform?

It depends on the variant. The "With Dual Swing Arm" option includes it; the "Platform Only" options do not, and the DIY Dual Swing Arm is sold separately.

Do I have to drill into my vehicle?

No. No drilling required — it mounts in the receiver you already have.

Can I still open my tailgate?

Yes. The platform swings up to 180° out of the way, loaded, so you never have to unload it to get into the back.

What is the warranty?

Every HitchFire product carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Do you ship outside the US and Canada?

We ship direct within the US and Canada. Anywhere else, you can order to a US freight forwarder, or we'll quote the whole order for you. See how international orders work or request a quote.
