Maypole BC3024 4-Bike Towball Mounted Platform Cycle Carrier

Maypole BC3024 4-Bike Towball Mounted Cycle Carrier – Safe, Tool-Free Transport for Family and Group Rides

Built to Carry Four Bicycles with a 60 kg Load Capacity

Designed for larger families, club cyclists, and active groups, the Maypole BC3024 securely transports up to four bicycles on a sturdy platform-style carrier. With a total load capacity of 60 kg, it comfortably handles a mix of adult and children’s bikes without forcing compromises. The platform design supports bikes by their wheels and frames, preventing frame-to-frame contact and helping to protect paintwork and components while on the move.

Adjustable Wheel Cradles for All Popular Tyre Sizes

Sliding adjustable cradles let you position each bike exactly where it needs to be, accommodating tyre widths from narrow road rubber up to broad mountain bike treads with a maximum width of 65 mm. The carrier adjusts to wheelbase lengths up to 120 cm, so it can carry smaller junior cycles, full-size 29ers, and everything in between. This flexibility eliminates the need for separate carrier frames for different bike styles.

Rapid Lock Quick Release Handle for Instant Fitting

Installing the BC3024 onto a 50 mm European-style towball takes seconds and requires no tools. The rapid lock quick release handle clamps the carrier firmly in place with a single push-and-lock motion, creating a rigid, rattle-free connection. Removal is just as quick, which makes the carrier ideal for drivers who need to swap between vehicles or prefer to remove it between trips.

Lockable Arms and Extra Lashing Straps Deliver Double Security

Each bicycle is held by an individual lockable arm that tightens against the frame and can be secured with a key. This deters opportunistic theft when the carrier is left attached to the vehicle. Maypole also supply additional lashing straps that wrap around wheels and the carrier frame, giving you a second layer of security to stop bikes shifting on bumpy roads or during emergency braking.

Tilting Mechanism for Quick Boot Access

The carrier’s tilt function allows the rear section to drop away from the tailgate with minimal effort, leaving the boot or hatch fully accessible. You can load and unload luggage, reach the spare wheel, or let pets in and out without removing a single bicycle from the rack. The mechanism is operable by one person and makes multi-stop journeys far more convenient.

UK-Specification Lighting and Electrical Adaptability

Full UK-specification rear lights – including tail, brake, indicator, and fog lamps – keep the vehicle fully compliant with road regulations. The lighting system uses a 13-pin plug as standard, and a 13-pin to 7-pin adaptor is included in the box, ensuring seamless connection to older and newer towbar electrics alike.

Foldable Frame for Space-Saving Storage

When not in use, the BC3024 folds into a compact, manageable shape that tucks neatly into a garage, shed, or large car boot. The folding mechanism is simple to operate, and the relatively low overall weight makes the folded carrier easy for one person to lift and store away.

TUV-Approved Construction for Long-Term Peace of Mind

The BC3024 has been independently tested and approved by TUV, verifying that it meets rigorous European safety and quality standards. Its steel frame is finished with a durable, weather-resistant coating, so it stands up to repeated exposure to rain, road salt, and UV rays without compromising strength or appearance.
