Heck-Pack Rear Rack Optimal – hot-dip galvanized game and transport carrier for the trailer hitch

When game, bait, or dirty gear shouldn’t go in the trunk, you need transport space outside the vehicle.
The Heck-Pack Rear Rack Optimal is a robust rear rack for the trailer hitch – designed for hunting, fieldwork, game transport, and heavy outdoor transport tasks.

With hot-dip galvanized steel construction, ECE type approval, and tool-free mounting via one-hand lever quick release, it’s built for regular use, not occasional fair-weather transports.

Why exactly this rear rack?
✔ Transport space outside the vehicle
✔ Up to 89 kg net payload according to ECE type approval
✔ Tool-free mounting via one-hand lever quick release
✔ Hot-dip galvanized steel with high corrosion protection
✔ Grid floor with 50×50×5 mm mesh size
✔ Made in Germany, ECE approval, usable without TÜV registration

Why the Heck-Pack Optimal?
In the field, the trunk is often the wrong solution: game, mud, water, bait, chainsaw, tub, or wet gear don’t necessarily belong inside the vehicle.

You transport dirty loads outside the vehicle
You protect the trunk, upholstery, and interior trim
You get quick loading space on the trailer hitch
You can move game, tools, bait, or tubs cleaner
You mount the rack without tools

Rear rack vs. trunk:
❌ Trunk: dirt, odor, liquid, and complicated cleaning
✔ Rear rack: load stays outside, grid floor lets dirt and water drain
Especially for game transport, that’s the practical difference.

Practical added value:
The payload of the rack is only part of the equation. Crucial is also the tongue load of your trailer hitch and the rack’s own weight.
Always calculate: permissible tongue load of the vehicle minus rack weight = actually usable payload.

Our assessment
The Heck-Pack Optimal is especially useful for hunters and field users who don’t want to permanently dirty their vehicle. It turns the trailer hitch into an immediately usable transport surface.

The grid structure is an advantage in everyday hunting: dirt, water, and liquids don’t collect like in a closed box. At the same time, the rack is much easier to clean after use.

Those who often move heavy game or bulky gear should also consider suitable tubs, tarps, straps, and possibly a hand winch. The rack is the base – the setup is created through accessories.

Suitable for


Hunters: for game transport, fieldwork, and dirty gear

Field vehicles: when additionally
e Ladefläche außen sinnvoll ist

Forst & Grundstück: for tools, bags, tubs, and transport goods

Outdoor users: when gear shouldn’t go inside the cabin

Dog handlers: when dirty gear needs to be transported separately

Why exactly for you?
If you regularly transport game or dirty hunting gear, a rear carrier isn’t a gimmick – it saves cleaning, time, and nerves.

Important note:
Always observe the permissible tongue load of your trailer hitch, the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, and load securing. The maximum carrier payload must not automatically be understood as the permissible vehicle payload.
License plates and lighting must not be covered. If necessary, use suitable additional lighting or license plate solutions.

Practical scenarios


After the hunt: game tub on the carrier, secure the game, keep the interior clean.

Hunting work: transport bait, tools, chainsaw accessories, or dirty rubber boots outside.

Cabin & property: move bags, wood, tubs, or wet gear without trunk chaos.

Dog work: transport dirty tracking leash, blankets, and gear separately from the interior.

Practical tip: Don’t just estimate weight
One piece of game, tub, straps, and accessories add up quickly. Check before driving if tongue load, carrier load, and load securing match.
Always position heavy loads as centrally and low as possible on the carrier.

FAQ

Does the rear carrier fit every trailer hitch?
It is designed for common trailer hitches. However, the hitch, tongue load, vehicle approval, and specific use case are decisive.

How much can I really load?
Up to the permissible carrier payload and only within your vehicle’s tongue load. The carrier’s own weight must be included.

Is the carrier suitable for game transport?
Yes, it is especially useful for hunting. A game tub or tarp additionally facilitates cleaning and privacy.

Do I need a TÜV registration?
The carrier has an ECE type approval depending on the version. The supplied documents and the specific vehicle/mounting situation are decisive.

Especially in the area of rear carriers for hunting, game transport, and hunting gear, the combination of payload, tongue load, corrosion protection, and load securing determines real practical benefit.
