Ixeo Time 586 scooter rack (1 Viewer)

[ChaosToo]

Have been doing the usual Google searches and have formulated some ideas, but wondering if anyone had any input for me?

I'm after a removable rack for a 100kg scooter, possibly with the option of carrying a push bike or 2 as well.

2015 Ixeo on a Ducato chassis .......

Doesn't this have a rear garage ? Putting a rack on the rear for scooter might be a problem for rear axle load ?

No garage on this one, hence why I'm looking at the rack.
Payload is quoted at 625kg, so I should be well within the limits, as there's hardly any overhang over the rear axle - but also hence why I'm asking for any 'real world' advice of those that have fitted one to this van .....

Our rack from Watling Engineers (or Watling towbars seems to be the new name) goes straight onto the chassis, we don't have a towbar. The advantage being you've got 2 arms supporting the rack rather than one. The towbar mounted ones are only rated at 130kg.
Edit: it is removable with 4 bolts.

That's one of the options I've been looking at. Do you have the same can, or a different one? Any pics please

This is the only pic I can find. It's covered up with a fridge and tarpaulin at the minute. They're more money than the towbar ones, think it was about £800

I enquired about putting a 150kg motorcycle on it. The company have just confirmed to me via email it will take 150kg. going to have some fun next year no more trundling about with 8bhp

Sorry for the delay in replying - I had to subscribe first!
So is that one bolted to the Al-Ko chassis, or bolted to a tow bar plate?

Neither, it's bolted to what Elddis say is an "unmodified Peugeot chassis" looking under I can confirm there are no extensions on it, it's bolted to the two white box sections running underneath.
