THE VERSATILE CARRIER
When compared with other cargo carriers in the market today Carpod is superior in many ways. Rooftop and hitch mounted cargo racks, bags, and boxes all have limited capabilities.
CARPOD VS. Other Carriers
| Cargo may be securely stacked up to 22” high | It is extremely difficult to stack different cargo shapes and secure them | |
Can easily carry a variety of shapes, sizes and weights e.g. two bicycles, | Not having side-walls to contain cargo limits the user to carry only large pieces of cargo so it will be easier to tie down | ||
Cargo volume capacity of 13¼ cubic feet | Limited cargo capacity due to height limitations | ||
Netting or tie downs are not always necessary | With flat racks, cargo nets or tie downs are a must, and require some level of know how to use properly. | ||
Lockable lid and water resistant bag available to secure cargo | Securing cargo with a lid or a bag may not be possible | ||
Stores easily in 5¼" high by 48” wide space | Box carriers require a large storage space when not in use | ||
Weight capacity of 450 lbs | Limited weight capacity e.g. 150 lbs | ||
Saves fuel cost when cargo does not create any wind drag | Having cargo on the roof creates wind drag which substantially lowers fuel economy | ||
4 corner reflectors for night-time visibility | Reflectors my not be available with some carriers | ||
Welded one-piece base frame and thicker steel tubing for added strength and stability | Poor quality, thin tubing, and multi piece construction |
