How do I keep my rack from being stolen?

UPDATED FEBRUARY 2025

• The Quik Rack Mach2 locks tightly at the hitch, and each add-on component, including the ramp, locks to the one before it. So unless someone has your key–or a saw to cut through the hitch–your QuikrStuff is staying right where it is. It’s unlikely that someone will saw a rack off because without a hitch the rack is nearly impossible to use or resell. If a thief calls us to get parts, we’ll be checking to ensure they are the original or current owner of the rack.
• Many customers check directly with us before buying a rack from a previous owner. They’ll confirm the serial number with us and, if everything checks out, we update our records to reflect the new owner.
• Park strategically–up against a wall, fence, pole, or tree–to make it hard for anyone to access the rack. Also park in well-lit, visible areas to deter attempted theft.
• You can remove and store the rack in your vehicle while you’re out riding. It might seem like a hassle, but the Quik Rack Mach2 is lightweight, folds, and installs quickly without tools.
• With many vehicles, it is possible to use a standard locking hitch pin with the Quik Rack Mach2. You could also add a cable lock.
• Each component–such as the add-on and the ramp–locks to the one before it, so no part of the rack can be easily stolen.
• Be sure your rack is covered by your vehicle or homeowner’s insurance.
• You might want to add a GPS tracker to the rack. One customer discovered that Elevation Labs TagVault AirTag holders fit PERFECTLY on the Mach2 and Add-On and they’re difficult to remove and open.
