600 lb capacity for two motorcycles. 71.5" rails, 60" x 5.5" ramp included. Reversible rails. Tires under 5.5". 138 lbs. Made in USA.
The VersaHaul VH-55 DMRO is a complete double motorcycle carrier system that includes a loading ramp, allowing you to transport two motorcycles without the need for a trailer. This heavy-duty carrier features two parallel 71.5" x 6.375" carrier tracks spaced 12.75" apart, providing stable platforms for two motorcycles with a combined capacity of 600 lbs total (500 lbs maximum per rail). The included 60" x 5.5" ramp makes loading from ground level safe and easy.
The VH-55 DMRO features reversible rails for loading from either side of the vehicle, adjustable distance between rails and bumper, adjustable tie-down bars for custom bike fit and easy storage, and movable wheel stops for perfect positioning. The carrier includes a 36" main tube, anti-tilt lock bracket to eliminate wobble, 4 retractable tie-down bars, and 2 ramps. Suitable for motorhomes and large trucks. **Warning: NOT recommended for trailers or 5th wheels** as back-load can cause dangerous fishtailing. Weighing 138 lbs with powder coat finish, the VH-55 DMRO is made in the USA and protected by US Patents (US D546,755 S, 20070052206).
Tire Width Limitation - CRITICAL: The 5.5" ramp limits bikes to tires under 5.5" wide. Measure both motorcycles' tire widths before purchasing. Hitch Requirements: • Class III Hitch: Typically rated for 500 lbs tongue weight • Class IV Hitch: Typically rated for 1,000 lbs tongue weight • Receiver Size: Standard 2" receiver Important Hitch Considerations: • Low Hitches: Main tube extends at same level as hitch. Very low hitches may not work properly - verify ground clearance. • Recessed Hitches: Will shorten effective carrier length. Vehicle Requirements: • Motorhomes: Compatible with motorhome chassis • Large Trucks: Suitable for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks • NOT RECOMMENDED: Trailers or 5th wheels (back-load can cause fishtailing) CRITICAL: VH-55 DMRO weighs 138 lbs. Total tongue weight = 138 lbs + two motorcycles (up to 600 lbs) = up to 738 lbs. Always verify your vehicle's tongue weight rating.

BEFORE PURCHASING - READ CAREFULLY: Per-Rail Load Limit - CRITICAL: The VH-55 DMRO has 600 lbs total capacity, but each carrier rail is limited to only 500 lbs maximum. Ensure each motorcycle's weight does not exceed 500 lbs. If transporting one heavy motorcycle (over 500 lbs), it cannot be safely carried on this carrier. Tire Width Limitation - CRITICAL: The 5.5" ramp limits bikes to tires under 5.5" wide. If either motorcycle has tires 5.5" wide or wider, this carrier will NOT work. Measure both motorcycles' tire widths before purchasing. NOT RECOMMENDED for Trailers or 5th Wheels: Using this carrier on trailers or 5th wheels is NOT RECOMMENDED as the back-load can cause dangerous fishtailing. This carrier is designed for motorhomes and trucks only. Weight Considerations: VH-55 DMRO weighs 138 lbs (with ramp). When loaded with two motorcycles totaling 600 lbs, total tongue weight will be approximately 738 lbs. This requires: • A vehicle with sufficient towing capacity and suspension • A properly rated Class III (500 lb) or Class IV (1,000 lb) hitch • Large truck or motorhome - NOT suitable for passenger cars Hitch Limitations: • Most Class III hitches: 500 lbs tongue weight - limits combined motorcycles to approximately 362 lbs (500 - 138) • Most Class IV hitches: 1,000 lbs tongue weight - adequate for full 600 lb capacity Ground Clearance: Verify adequate ground clearance for loading with ramp. Insufficient clearance may prevent safe loading. Consider ramp angle and vehicle ground clearance when deploying ramps.

Confirm combined motorcycle weight is 600 lbs or less 3. Verify both motorcycles have tires under 5.5" wide 4. Check vehicle tongue weight rating (must handle 738 lbs minimum) 5. Verify ground clearance for ramp deployment 6. Confirm vehicle is NOT a trailer or 5th wheel 7. Review complete VH-55 DM instruction booklet Assembly & Installation Overview: Connect 36" main tube to two carrier tracks (71.5" x 6.375" each). Rails are spaced 12.75" apart. Install anti-tilt lock bracket. Position wheel stops on carrier tracks. Mount 4 retractable tie-down bars. Insert assembled carrier into 2" hitch receiver and secure with hitch pin. Attach reflectors. Two-person installation recommended due to 138 lb weight. Reversible Rails Feature: Rails can be reversed for loading from either driver or passenger side. Configure for best access in your garage/driveway. Distance between rails and bumper is adjustable. Loading Two Motorcycles: 1. Deploy 60" x 5.5" loading ramps on carrier tracks 2. Ensure ramps are stable and secure 3. Load first motorcycle onto left carrier track 4. Roll forward until front wheel reaches wheel stop 5. Secure first motorcycle with tie-down straps using retractable tie-down bars 6. Load second motorcycle onto right carrier track 7. Roll forward until front wheel reaches wheel stop 8. Secure second motorcycle with tie-down straps 9. Remove ramps and store in vehicle OR leave attached to carrier (check manufacturer instructions) 10. Verify both motorcycles are stable Driving with Loaded Carrier: • Accelerate gradually - 738 lbs tongue weight affects handling • Brake earlier - stopping distance increases significantly • Turn carefully - wider turns required for rear extension • Watch ground clearance - avoid steep driveways, speed bumps • Monitor constantly - check both motorcycles remain secured • Stop after 50 miles to retighten all straps Important Operating Restrictions: • DO NOT exceed 600 lbs total capacity • DO NOT exceed 500 lbs per rail • ONLY for motorcycles with tires under 5.5" wide • DO NOT use on trailers or 5th wheels • NEVER exceed vehicle's tongue weight rating
