Innovative Three-Part Cargo System Adds Gear-Hauling Capacity For Any Rig

1UP USA, a leader in US-made, high-quality bike racks and accessories, is excited to announce the release of the RakAttach Accessory Panel System (APS), designed to transform the functionality of the RakAttach swing-away hitch mount.

This innovative three-part system transforms the RakAttach into a versatile gear carrier for any hitch, offering increased gear-hauling capabilities to overlanders, cyclists, and adventurers of all kinds.

The APS Suite includes three components:

  • APS Main Panel: A MOLLE-board bolts directly to the RakAttach, allowing users to securely attach off-road recovery gear, jerry cans, traction boards, and other accessories.
  • APS Side Panel: An additional panel that expands gear-carrying capacity, providing more space for essential equipment.
  • APS Table: A convenient flip-up table attaches to the APS, offering a sturdy surface for campsite cooking or gear organization.

The APS is designed to optimize space for any rig with a hitch. When paired with the RakAttach—1UP’s hitch extender that swings out 100 degrees for easy trunk access with a loaded bike rack—the APS boasts a 200-pound weight capacity on the MOLLE panels and is fully loaded with gear. It fits perfectly between the vehicle and a loaded bike rack.

When bikes aren’t needed for a journey, the RakAttach APS works as a standalone unit with no rack. Engineered to minimize the distance off the back and maximize space efficiency, it’s an exterior gear hauler, a camp kitchen, a workstation all in one, and the rear-door of the vehicle still opens.

“The Accessory Panel System is a testament to 1UP USA’s proactive approach to innovation,” said Kurt Barclay, Marketing Director at 1UP USA. “By integrating seamlessly with the RakAttach—already a customer favorite—this system offers adventurers a new solution for transporting the essentials, whether they’re biking, camping, or exploring offroad. And they’ll still be able to drop the tailgate.”

The APS is now available for purchase on the 1UP USA website. For more information, visit https://1upusa.com/productcategory/racks/hitchbikeracks/rakattach/
