Product Detail
Gecko Vs. Bumper Mounted Box and Bike carriers - The majority of tire carriers on the market today are bumper mounted systems. These systems are complex and have a number of drawbacks compared to our simple bolt-on system.
Simplicity and Weight - Our rack is just over 14kgs. By eliminating a massive bumper, you eliminate a lot of bulk and weight.
Price - While we are not a budget product, the cost of just a tire carrier or just a box carrier is always going to be substantially less then the cost of a bumper AND a box combo.
Innovation
The Gecko Van Carrier is the first structurally mounted carrier to open with the door. Many long hours of engineering went into making our carriers easy to install.
Departure Angle
The last thing you want to do is limit the abilities of your van by adding a huge bumper. the Geclo range of products maintains the factory departure angle while almost all bumper mounts will decrease it substantially. When a bumper hangs low off the back of the vehicle it limits the grade a 4x4 van can go up or down.
Quality
We use huge mandrel bent steel tubing to achieve lightweight and strength.
Coming in at just over 14kgs, our carriers are incredibly lightweight while also offering superior durability. Aluminum is great in the right application but for road products that face a lot of vibration, steel can be a better choice. Aluminum although light, can catastrophically fail in a high vibration environments.
Shot Blasting
Shot blasting is the process of removing surface corrosion by applying an abrasive media under pressure it is an excellent pre-treatment for steel as it cleans and roughens the surface.
By lowering the pressure and replacing the blasting media to a non-ferrous grit for example glass bead or aluminium oxide it is also a good technique for removing machine marks left after turning.
All parts are bead blasted
then the the carrier is zinc coated and cooked in the powder coat ovens.
Paint bond 310
A Liquid chemical which when diluted in warm water will simultaneously degrease and form a thin, protective phosphate conversion coating on steel, zinc coating.
This process complies with defence standard 03-11 class 1V
