Tow Bar Mount Systems
Tow Bar Pivot-Base
Modular Mounts for Tow Bars
• Pozi-Lock over-centre latch for easy pivot operation
• Never go looking for excuses to get into the back of the car
Strong and secure manufactured from 100% Australian high-strength plate steel and tube the iSi Pivot-Base is designed and manufactured to breeze over the harshest terrain.
With the simple push on the iSi Pozi-Lock latch, the main beam section pivots down low to gently lower the load for easy access to the rear of the vehicle. Moreover, by lowering the complete assembly, the bicycles remain secured to the iSi bicycle carrier for the maximum convenience possible.
When done, raise the beam to the upright position and the iSi Pozi-Lock latch does the job of securing the load. Slip the security pin in and you’re ready again to hit the road and tracks.
Strong and secure and the most highly effective connection to vehicle tow bars. Available in a variety of iSi Pivot-Base models for the ideal configuration for your particular tow bar.
Pozi-Lock Latch
The pivot base incorporates a clever over-centre latching system that locks tight as the load increases. The unique iSi Pozi-Lock Latching system facilitates ultra-easy retention of the main beam when raised and holds tight whilst the upper pin is inserted. With the advanced computer designed and analysed latch profile, it works in conjunction with the pivot pin to lock tight when the going gets tough.
Pivoting the carrier down is as simple as pulling out the top pin and giving the Pozi-Lock Latch a tap with the foot to dis-engage the carrier. The unique feature of this system allows the latch to re-engage in place for the upper pin to be inserted.
Hitch Stabiliser System
Included with every vehicle mount is the iSi Extreme Duty hitch stabilizer system. It keeps everything rock solid when travelling on-road or off-road. Effectively locked solid in yaw and roll but with a degree of float in pitch to protect the bikes and the tow bar when travelling at speed particularly over rough terrain. The whole assembly can then act as a tuned member and protect the bicycles – as we designed it to. With the bike rack for a car mounted rigidly, the bicycles remain stabilized and secured in the event of huge shock loads. Don’t rely on the anti-rattle bolt if it is fitted to your tow bar receiver.
Strong and secure and the most highly effective stabilising systems to vehicle tow bars. Travel over harsh terrain with confidence.
Licence Plate Holder
In Australia, the policing policy is one that insists that no part of the licence plate is obscured – hence you will have to use an authorised bike rack plate available from your road traffic authority. The iSi licence plate holder slides onto the wheel support beam and uses the same bolt pattern as your local traffic authority bicycle carrier plate for an easy install. This comes standard with the iSi bike rack for a car.
Easy Vehicle Cargo Access
Add Vehicle Tow Bar Pivot-Base Mount
• Pivot down all the way for the best access
• Lightening quick 15 seconds to access the rear
• Pull out fridge and drawers friendly for side hinged rear doors
Nice and tight to the rear of the vehicle, rock solid and 15 seconds to access to the rear cargo compartment. Easy.
The iSi bike rack for a car pivots down all the way right from the tow bar for the ultimate in quick and convenient access to the rear of the vehicle. Completely eliminates the hassles of bicycle carriers that just tilt but obstruct the opening of side hinged rear doors. When the door’s open, drawers and fridge slide will open fully for drivers of vehicles like the Toyota Prado, Jeep Wrangler, Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan Patrol and many more.
There’s more to travelling with bicycles than simply loading them onto a car and transporting to a destination. Eliminate hassle and never go looking for excuses.
Thoroughly Engineered & Rigorously Tested
iSi carriers employ advanced Computer Aided Design and Finite Element Modeling and Analysis tools to ensure that the optimum structural and operational design criteria are met in a highly cost effective manner.
Then field tested over not only the harshest terrain using iSi’s fleet of dedicated off-road 4WD vehicles and caravans, but also long high speed highway travel.
Without doubt, the iSi bike rack for a car delivers the ultimate in bicycle carrying performance and total peace of mind – regardless of the severity of the terrain.
Whether it be sustained high speed travel over rough washboard corrugations, rocks, soft and loose sand dunes, deep snow or running rivers, you’ll breathe easy with the knowledge that your bicycles are safe, secure and always ready for action.
Space Saving Storage
Hangs flat on the garage wall
We all know what it’s like when you get home tired on a Sunday evening and have to get the car ready for work the next morning. Removing and storing the iSi bicycle carrier dead easy. 20 seconds to un-pin the carrier from the vehicle pivot base and hang the carrier on the wall. That’s it.
Modular Pivot Bases
Tow bars vary in depth, height and position relative to the rest of the vehicle. Selecting the ideal pivot base configuration sets the handlebars no higher than the vehicle roof but raises the assembly to the ideal height for the best departure clearance possible. No compromises here with this bike rack for a car.
The ideal pivot base, the bikes are protected below the roof and well above the vehicle’s departure angle. Relax and drive the track with confidence.
Tow Ball / Tongue Pivot Base
The tow ball mount is actually a tow bar tongue mount designed to be installed onto a standard tow bar tongue. This pivot base has adjustable stops to keep the carrier from turning about the tow bar in the event of an emergency swerving manoeuvre. Supplied with a high tensile screw and nut assembly so that you don’t have to deal with trying to tighten a round tow ball.
