It comes in three lengths to suit different vehicles, and is aimed at SUV and bakkie owners whose spare wheel sits in the way of the carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rear-mounted spare wheel takes up exactly the space a towball carrier needs to sit in, and without extra reach the rack can end up resting against the wheel instead of clearing it. Rather than a one-size fix, this extension is offered in different lengths so you can add just enough distance to get the carrier clear without the load sitting further out than it needs to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdds reach behind the vehicle\u003c\/strong\u003e – clears the carrier from a rear-mounted spare wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree lengths to choose from\u003c\/strong\u003e – 12cm, 20cm or 30cm depending on how much clearance you need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensile tested to 3 tons\u003c\/strong\u003e – built to take a fully loaded carrier's strain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e – resists corrosion over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack powder coated finish\u003c\/strong\u003e – matched to the rest of Holdfast's baseplate range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSUV and bakkie owners with a rear-mounted spare wheel\u003c\/strong\u003e who need extra clearance for a towball or baseplate carrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone whose current carrier rubs or catches on the spare\u003c\/strong\u003e since the right length extension moves it clear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners fitting a Snap-On, Hanging Rack or SA2018\u003c\/strong\u003e which are the baseplate- and towball-mounted carriers this extension works with.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur \u003cstrong\u003eCape Town\u003c\/strong\u003e team can help measure the right length for your vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220810, 220820, 220830\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLengths available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12cm (SKU 220810), 20cm (SKU 220820), 30cm (SKU 220830)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tensile tested to 3 tons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black powder coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, work out the right length:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork out how far your carrier currently sits from the spare wheel, and pick whichever of the three lengths clears that gap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA deeper spare on a 4x4 typically calls for the longest option, while a smaller SUV or sedan is usually fine with the shortest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your carrier is a baseplate- or towball-mounted type, since roof-mounted carriers don't use this extension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003estabilising straps or a number plate holder\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003ebike carrier accessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does this extension do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt adds distance between a towball- or baseplate-mounted carrier and the vehicle, so the carrier clears a rear-mounted spare wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich length do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWork out how far short your carrier currently falls of clearing the spare wheel, then choose whichever of 12cm, 20cm or 30cm covers that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it strong enough for a fully loaded rack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's tensile tested to 3 tons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit a roof-mounted carrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it's for towball- or baseplate-mounted carriers such as a Snap-On, Hanging Rack or SA2018.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holdfast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49162195402937,"sku":"220810, 220820, 220830","price":695.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4587\/6409\/files\/Holdfast-8-copy-scaled.jpg?v=1789659958","url":"https:\/\/www.4mattcampers.co.za\/products\/base-plate-extensions","provider":"4Matt Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
