FAQs
Will this fit my 2015 Fiat Ducato?
Yes, this model is designed for Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter, and VW Crafter models produced from 2006 onwards.
Can I carry e-bikes on this rack?
Yes, provided the combined weight of the bikes does not exceed the maximum load limit of 50 kg.
Do I need to drill into the van door?
Installation typically utilizes existing mounting points on the door, but always refer to the included manual for your specific vehicle configuration.
Is the bike rack rust-proof?
The rack features an anodised finish which offers high resistance to corrosion, though regular cleaning is recommended to maintain it.
Can I open the rear doors with bikes attached?
It is strongly advised to remove the bikes before opening the rear doors to avoid damage to the hinges and the door frame.
Troubleshooting
Rack feels loose or wobbles during transit
Check all mounting bolts for tightness and ensure the rail straps are cinched firmly around the bike frames.
Difficulty closing the van door
Ensure the carrier is perfectly centered and no part of the rack or bikes is obstructing the door seal or latch mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed with attention to the specific mounting points provided on the vehicle's rear doors. It is recommended to verify that your vehicle's hinges are in good condition before installation. To care for the carrier, regularly inspect the tightening knobs and rail straps to ensure they remain secure. Clean the anodised frame periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove road grime and salt, which can degrade the finish over time. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or steel wool.
