Discover the Gravirax Ski Rack: Revolutionizing Ski Transportation

Transporting your skis shouldn't be a hassle. With the Gravirax Ski Rack, you can enjoy a seamless and secure way to carry your gear, making every trip to the slopes more enjoyable.

 

Why Choose a Hitch-Mounted Ski Rack?

Before diving into the specifics of the Gravirax Ski Rack, it's essential to understand the advantages of hitch-mounted ski racks:

  • Ease of Loading and Unloading: No more lifting skis onto your roof. Hitch-mounted racks allow you to load your gear at waist height, reducing strain and simplifying the process.

  • Enhanced Vehicle Access: Many hitch racks, including Gravirax models, offer tilting features, enabling you to access your vehicle's trunk or hatchback without removing the rack.

  • Better MPG:  Roof racks tend to reduce fuel economy by 5-15% while hitch mounted racks reduce fuel economy by 1-5%.  If you are driving an SUV on the highway those numbers will be on the higher end of the range.

Introducing the Gravirax Ski Rack

Gravirax specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality hitch-mounted ski racks that prioritize convenience, and durability. Our racks are engineered to cater to various needs, from individual skiers to families and commercial users.

Key Features of Gravirax Ski Racks

  • Ground-Level Loading: Gravirax racks are designed for easy loading and unloading at ground level, minimizing physical strain and simplifying the process.

  • Secure Ski Transport: The racks feature high-strength HDPE tubes that safely encase your skis and poles, protecting them during transit.

  • Tilt Functionality: Gravirax racks incorporate a simple pivot mechanism, allowing you to tilt the rack away from the vehicle, providing access to the rear even while skis are loaded.  Many users won't even need to tilt the rack to access the trunk.

  • Built to Last: Crafted with high-quality American materials and construction, Gravirax racks are designed for a lifetime of use, backed by a 100% lifetime warranty against factory defects.

User Testimonials

"We have put many skis for big racers and little racers in Gravirax, and it's been wonderful and super convenient."
— John McBride (US and CAD Olympic and AVSC coach)

"One of the big factors for us is safety. The Gravirax racks are highly adjustable, so we can adjust them lower, which gives our backup cameras much better vision. That was a huge plus and benefit, improving safety."
— Ben (Manager at Limelight Aspen)

"We have been using Gravirax for 2 years and we love them. The biggest thing for us is the convenience factor of opening the trunk without actually having to pivot the rack."
— Rob (Guest Services Manager, The Little Nell Aspen)

Addressing Common Concerns

Will my skis stay in the tube during transit?

Yes, Gravirax racks utilize gravity to secure your skis, ensuring they remain in place under normal driving conditions.

Are the racks compatible with all vehicle types?

Gravirax racks are designed to fit most SUVs and trucks equipped with a 2" receiver hitch (Class III and IV).

Will my skis get dirty?

The rack can be positioned to stay away from most of the spray generated by tires on wet days, skis also sit base to base in 2 foot tubes to protect from spray and grit and for those really long wet drives we make a cover.
