Atera STRADA DL 3 to 4 bike carrier (UK lights) (Tilting lightweight tow ball carrier)

Description

This item has been used but is still in good condition. A buyer would have to collect from the seller.

Atera's STRADA DL tilting carriers are the best-designed and best-engineered tow ball carriers on the market, bar none. This page shows the 3-bike version; an adapter can be added for carrying a 4th bike.
(1) Fundamentally, it slides away from the vehicle, rather than tilting, i.e. the bike carrier takes the weight of the bikes, rather than you, and there's tailgate clearance even for vehicles with vertical tailgates. It's by far and away the easiest tilting carrier to use.
(2) Will fit to 'bolt on' or 'swan neck' tow balls (including detachable tow bars) without any requirement for tools.
(3) It's very easy to carry - it won't bump your shins if carried properly –
4) It's the lightest of the 4 bike tilting wheel support racks on the market.
(7) The frame is triangular which allows you, when the bikes have been slid out of the way, to stand almost right up against the tow ball. This means you can lift items into and out of the boot both safely and easily.
(8) The fog lights on this special 'GB' version are UK legal, i.e. the fog light is on the right / offside of the car. Other bike carriers with fog lights have these on the left / nearside of the car, which is illegal, (even when the car is used on continental roads!) Atera gets around this problem by using the lighting rig which they supply for BMW bike carriers. This includes a fog light on both sides, and there is nothing illegal about this!
It makes sense when using this carrier to place a safety strap around all the bikes and the bike holder support frame. We're therefore providing a free strap with each carrier - one strap per carrier. As well as providing peace of mind the strap will also help to minimise vibration.
The 4th bike adapter
Technical info:
• Weight of carrier: 14.5kg
• Maximum payload: 45kg (or 63kg if you are using the 4th bike adapter)
• Approximate dimensions when folded: 1000 x 250 x 720 mm
• The wheels are held in place with quick fit polypropylene straps which accommodate tyres up to 2.4" - 2.6" (dependent on rim height). Longer straps are available for tyres up to 4" (Fat bikes) - these are listed below.
• The STRADA DL has five function rear lights so it is fitted with a 13 pin plug for 13 pin continental type electric sockets. If you have a 7 pin socket you will need the Lighting adapter '13 pin' (rack) to 7 pin (car) listed below. (Note that the fog lights will work with a 7 pin system, but the reversing light won't work.)
Note not suitable for vehicles with a rear mounted spare wheel
