The Switch Hauler, from All Jacked Up Inc. A modular hitch hauler that you can adapt by switching the rack for different applications. Showing the Switch Hauler set up for a motorcycle.
This came out 4 years ago, and peaked my interest with the ability to have a platform for coolers. My RTIC weighs a ton when fully loaded and I hate moving it in and out of the back of my truck. But looking at the website now, no other platforms appear available. Whats up with that?
hi, what is the distance from the base to the hitch? I have a FJ Cruiser with the spare tire on the back door of the car and want to make sure my dirtbike wont be rubbing against it. By the video you showed with your truck with those spare tires looks like there is plenty space, but I got to ask and make sure, thanks
That's a great looking hauler! I'd really like to see how much the bike moves around on slightly rougher roads. Any chance you might make a video illustrating that?
A quality Ramp is going to be 80 plus pounds. It's awkward to install just because of it's size and weight. When you install the Switch Hauler® Station it's small, about 35 pounds, then the rack another 20. Because you install them one after the other you're not lifting anything to break your back before you even load the bike. If you're not using the "The Foot" in many cases you don't even have to lift the bike. Many seasoned riders appreciate not having to lift their bike after a day of riding. The combination of the Foot Peg Restraints and the Straps hold the bike very solid without compressing the suspension. After you get home, the Switch Hauler® disassembles to a nice little package that stores under your tool bench instead of a rail type that takes half you garage wall to store. You can see a pic on the alljackedupinc.com website. Thanks for looking
Also, by lowering the bike down, you can open the tailgate and truck shell door to get access to the interior of the truck without having to remove the bike.
That portion of the video you are referring to was not the bike moving around but the person sitting on the aluminum box behind the cab holding the camera while they were driving around. Old School buddy!
Presently we are not shipping internationally. Some customers have purchased a Switch Hauler® and asked us to send it to their freight forwarder and they organize the international shipping. So the short answer is for us, not yet. Sorry
John, it depends on your vehicle, the height of the receiver box. The rack used to be welded to the Connection Clip. We changed the design so the customer would have 2 height options. For the straight tongue version, if you use the upper set of holes, the rack will lower to approx, even with the bottom of the receiver hole. The lower option is about 2 inches lower. So it really depends on how high your receiver box is from the ground. From fully down to fully up is about 17 1/2 of lift. If you are using the 3 1/4" drop, which is popular with the trucks, then your lowest position would be that much less. Thanks
I wish my bike was as easy to lift as the one shown! Mine is almost $350#, so the platform has to be at or below the bike frame. This is definitely an improved design over the MX Hauler I had/sold. The bottom of my 4Runner receiver (opening) is 17.5", the top naturally is 19.5", so with each height option, what is the platform height in their lowest position? Thanks
@@johnwilliamson9453 John, IF the bottom of the box is 17.5" the rack will go down to approx 17.5" off the ground. However, if you use the lower set of mounting holes the rack will be approx 15.5" off the ground in the lowest position. Actually the real dimension is 1.75" difference between the two sets of holes but with all the ground variance suspension squish we won't talk about 1/4" increments. If you need another 2 inches lower we offer an extended Connection Clip that would drop it another 2" down. Lastly, you could start out with the 3.25 inch drop that would start you out even lower. Send me an email at alljackedupinc@gmail.com and I'll send you some pics and more info. Regardless, you have lots of options. Thanks
We have not had an issue with that. If you know you're going on some really bad roads, we add a hole in the end of the wing that you could put a small bungee from one to the other. It's not an item that people order. Since they are made in house, you would have to replace it by ordering direct. It's just not something we see orders for or have any feedback that that's happened.
In that video, we had "The Foot" attached. The idea was to stop the rack at the height of a standard MX stand 16 inches. We no longer offer that option and actually give you a choice of 2 settings when you first set up the system. You can set the rack to go down to about even with the bottom of the receiver box or about 2 inches lower. Many cases you don't have to lift the bike at all. Keep in mind, there is 17" of lift, the lower you start, the less ground clearance in the fully up position. We also offer a "drop version" that lowers the unit about 3 inches.
@@switchhauler2563 thank you. Do you have any options to also mount a gas can with the bike loaded? Like the one on the Ultimate MX Hauler. I’d be sold if you do.
Hell my old _ss gotta weigh more than 300 lbs… . And, never had a bike worth SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS… but the way Uncle Joe is going better get one before it’s $7000… and I have to sell my car and use the old clapped out bobbed rat… full time… with a Harbor Freight lawn mower motor I got off Project Farm showing it could run just fine without any of that unobtainium oil!
It still blows my mind that these guys and ultimate MX use this design when it would be so much simpler and reliable to use a screw mechanism or a toothed shaft and gear. I also have no clue why you are priced at $659 and ultimate MX is priced at $489.
@@xo2308 No. But there are only a few of these lifting carriers out there. I have no idea why they settled on such a hokey design. Just use the same mechanism boat trailers use. Bombproof and simple.
There's a lot of reasons. We're more of a high end product. You probably would have to see the products side by side to appreciate the differences. Do you also not put any value in that our product comes preassembled vs a box of nuts, bolts, and parts?
Awesome system, but the X-Ramp is similar at a fraction of the price and quicker. Also see the homemade one here: th-cam.com/video/T4qFuakv5Ag/w-d-xo.html
you've clearly never hauled a bike with a hitch hauler. the amount that bike just wobbled is a fraction of what your standard hitch hauler with a simple through pin wobbles.
Percy, in the video, because the camera is so close to the bike it blocks most of the view of the truck including the lights, however if you back up a bit the lights are no more obstructed than any other carrier, which is minimal.
Sorry, not so. Have you ever heard the term form follows function? Well some of the mechanism is similar due to the fact that you have specific constraints of the hydraulic jack. And a lever lifting mechanism is nothing new. The beauty of the Switch Hauler® is that it was designed from the beginning to be switched to different applications. Your comment is similar to looking at a bad a** mountain bike and saying you just put fat tires on a bike.
And yet after a long term testing review MXA wrote it's the strongest, most durable carrier they have ever tested. But what do they know? They have only been around for 45 years.

I like that better much easy to work with to load a single bike

Ultimate mx hauler is the pioneer, its great and it help me a lot
Where are the "variety of other platforms" on the website? I only see a motorcycle carrier. (P.S. I got my hauler in the mail this week, thanks.)
That's a great looking hauler! I'd really like to see how much the bike moves around on slightly rougher roads. Any chance you might make a video illustrating that?
We'll try and get something up soon
Why would you use this system over a full rack with ramps??? Curious! It looks like more work.

Still waiting for the updated video showing the bike not rocking back and forth.

Do you ship to Norway?
This system will solve my "problem" to transport my bike in my RW

Have you ever had the wing bolts work loose
We have not had an issue with that. If you know you're going on some really bad roads, we add a hole in the end of the wing that you could put a small bungee from one to the other.

@@switchhauler2563 Thank you for the information
Why not design it so the plate goes all the way to the ground surface, so there would be no need to lift the bike.

We no longer offer that option and actually give you a choice of 2 settings when you first set up the system.

What is the weight of the switch hauler with platform?
The straight version 108-111 ships at 64lbs.
The drop version 108-311 ships at 66lbs.

Looks great. I am sure shipping from SA would absolutely kill the deal though.
Blocks tail lights & license plate. Even when they take that delicate left turn you can see the bike bobbleing🤔
you've clearly never hauled a bike with a hitch hauler. the amount that bike just wobbled is a fraction of what your standard hitch hauler with a simple through pin wobbles.
and you cant see a signal or brake light...

moto-mule has better designe imo
China will copy this and include it for free with their also copied bikes you buy online.
Looks like you guys just copied the Ultimate MX Hauler...

Funny, because the MX-Hauler is a copy of the old Moto Jack-Rack that I've owned since 2000.
I dont know who copied whom, but this one looks much better built
Marcelo Lazzaro I’ve had a Mx hauler for 9 years and no issues.
I can load a bike onto my $100 Harbor Freight carrier in less than half the time it takes to use this one. Way too many steps.
rubbish
this unit will last about 3 miles on a dirt rd in the mtn's before the welds break and the bike falls off.
And yet after a long term testing review MXA wrote it's the strongest, most durable carrier they have ever tested. But what do they know? They have only been around for 45 years.
I don’t have this brand. But I have the Mx hauler and for 9 years of different 450s never had a weld break yet. Completely secured.
Made in America baby! 🇺🇸 I trust that
