CURT 48" x 20" Steel Tray Cargo Carrier — 1-1/4" Shank, Carbide Black, 300 lb Capacity

The CURT 18110 is a bolt-together, 48" x 20" steel tray cargo carrier that mounts on a 1-1/4" hitch (adapter included) and supports up to 300 lb to expand your vehicle's carrying capacity.

When trunk and roof space fill up, a hitch-mounted tray carrier is one of the simplest ways to add reliable exterior storage without permanent roof racks. The CURT 18110 gives you a mesh-bottom platform with heavy steel construction and a corrosion-resistant carbide black finish. It ships as a two-piece tray that bolts together and includes hardware, a 2" receiver adapter sleeve, and a hitch pin—making it straightforward to attach or remove as trips demand.

How much weight and surface area does this carrier provide?

This tray-style carrier offers a 48" long by 20" wide load area and a rated maximum capacity of 300 pounds when used within the limits of your vehicle and hitch. Weight must be distributed evenly across the platform and tied down securely before travel.

• Platform dimensions: 48" x 20" (length x width)
• Maximum rated load: 300 lb (subject to vehicle and hitch limits)
• Mesh base allows dirt and water to pass through
• Raised shank design increases ground clearance

Will it fit my hitch and how does installation work?

The carrier uses a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" shank that fits standard 1-1/4" receiver openings and includes a sleeve adapter for 2" receivers. Assembly requires bolting the two tray halves together with the supplied hardware and inserting the shank into the receiver, secured with the provided pin and clip.

• Includes 2" adapter sleeve for larger receivers
• Bolt-together assembly with included fasteners
• Check receiver opening and pin-hole alignment before purchase
• Inspect and retorque hardware periodically

How does the carrier keep cargo secure and weather-resistant?

Openings along the perimeter provide convenient tie-down points for cargo nets, straps, or bungees so items stay put during transit. The steel components receive an E-coat and a carbide black powder-coat finish to slow rust and corrosion from road exposure.

• Perimeter holes for securing nets, straps, or bungee cords
• Mesh floor minimizes water pooling and reduces wind resistance
• E-coated plus carbide black powder-coat for outdoor durability
• Use appropriate straps and evenly distribute weight

Who this is for: The CURT 18110 is suited to drivers who need occasional exterior cargo space for weekend gear, coolers, or luggage but don’t want a permanent roof rack. It’s ideal for owners of vehicles with 1-1/4" or 2" receiver hitches who prioritize easy install/removal, durable steel construction, and extra ground clearance for rough roads. Always verify your vehicle’s hitch rating and tongue weight limits before loading the carrier and secure all items with approved restraints.
