Sequoia Bike Carrier Cargo Frame / Crafter-MAN

Description

Advantages of a Cargo Frame (bike carrier) for your campervan

This versatile Cargo Frame functions as a bike carrier, ski carrier, or box carrier, so it makes the most of your Crafter / TGE Cargo Ladder. You can easily adjust its functionality depending on your journey ahead. 

To carry bikes on top of the Sequoia Crafter / TGE Cargo Frame (bike carrier), you mount for example the Thule Bike Carrier Proride 598 (recommended in black for the best appearance) to carry your bikes. Or you take your skis by horizontally mounting ski clamps such as the Thule SnowPack M.

The Thule Bike Carrier also has adapters for fat bikes. Bike carriers and ski clamps are not included.

The Cargo Frame lets you carry bikes while still having space for a Cargo Box and spare tire. It can be mounted above the Cargo Box, but if you prefer not to carry a Cargo Box or spare tire, you can position the Cargo Frame lower on the Cargo Ladder for easier bike loading.

You can also use the Cargo Frame to carry other gear, such as aluminum or plastic boxes, or inflatable SUPs.

Sequoia Cargo Frame installation requirements

The installation of the Cargo Frame requires the following gear:

• Sequoia Cargo Ladder Crafter 2017+ 0r Man TGE

The Cargo Frame can rest on your spare wheel on the Tire Carrier. This could be useful to absorb extreme heavy (bumpy or off-road) forces and shocks while driving off-road. The resting does not create a fixed connection, this way the van body can still flex while driving offroad. 

The Cargo Frame comes together with a reinforcement bracket for the door. This bracket mounts behind the Cargo Ladder. The bracket helps to distribute the forces of opening and closing the door. Carrying gear on the back of your van means you have to open and close the door with extra great care. Rather gently push to close the door than let it fall or throw it shut. We strongly advise to mount this bracket behind the Cargo Ladder when mounting a Cargo Frame.
