The present invention relates to a carrier assembly attachable to a roof structure 4 of a motorized vehicle 1. The carrier assembly comprises: at least a base member 12, 14 attachable to the roof, a first pivoting member 20, 22 pivotally collapsible to the base member into an initial position (figure 1) and being pivotable relative to the base member into a carrier position (figure 4), in which the first pivoting member is attachable to a tailgate 3 of the vehicle. The first pivoting member may be connected to the base member by means of a second pivoting member 16, 18, so that when in use the first pivoting member is substantially vertically parallel with the tailgate and the second pivoting member extends horizontally. The pivoting members may be connected by cross-members 32, 34, and a support frame (36, figure 4) may be pivotally attached to the first pivoting member. The support frame may have channels (40, 41) for carrying a bicycle(s). The carrier may be left in the in use position when the tailgate is opened (figure 6). |
