CARGO CONTAINERS

The Y-Frame can accept most loads. You 
can bolt containers directly to the frame 
or load bed, strap things down, or fi t a 
box with our box quick release system. 
Contact custom@carryfreedom.com for 
really unusual loads.

Loading directly 

Any load can be tied down onto the anti 
slip surface of the load bed. The four holes 
in the load bed can be used as tie down 
points, as can the aluminium frame below 
the load bed. Regularly check the load is 
secure and has not slipped.

Bags 

Most bags can be strapped directly to the 
load bed using the enclosed straps, but 
the grip surface can abrade bags quickly.  
Place a matt between bag and the trailer, 
if this is a problem. 

Water proof Ortlieb Rack Packs can 
clip directly to the load bed, the 48L 
for the Y-Small, and the 90L for the 
Y-Large. See www.Ortlieb.com or 
www.CarryFreedom.com for full details.

Boxes 

Mant fl at bottomed boxes will fi t. The 
maximum box footprint is around 450mm 
X 900mm for the Y-Small and 600mm X 
900mm for the Y-Large. 

A box may be bolted permanently to the Y-
Frame or fi tted with our box quick release. 
The Center of the box should lie ahead of 
the trailer axle, and the front of the box 
must be clear of your bicycles wheel.

To fi t a box permanently secure it at least 
four points, as close to its corners as 
practical. Boxes may need penny washers 
fi tted to stop the bolt pulling through the 
box’s base. 

Secure weak boxes to the load bed, strong 
boxes may be bolted directly to the frame.
