Product Description

You will need to swap over the tailgate hinge brackets (see product photos) during installation

After 12 months of complex development & rigorous testing, we have now launched our Defender Truck Cab Wheel Carrier.

In order to access the drop-down tailgate, we have developed this wheel carrier to open independently of the door. We have created a stainless-steel mechanical latch mechanism with spring return that secures the wheel when in motion and effortlessly opens via a specially calibrated gas strut, which holds the wheel carrier open. The arm closes and locks against rubber stops at the cross-member, not on the tailgate like other models on the market. The latch is adjustable for optimal setting of the tyre. We have also added an additional spring-loaded safety latch for your peace of mind when overlanding.

This wheel carrier was tested on a 3-month tour of Africa along with our own in-house stress tests and we are proud to say that it meets our ZERO COMPROMISE standards on quality. A true single point wheel carrier means all load weight is transferred directly into your Defender chassis.

We have used automotive-grade timken roller bearings with a custom bearing housing allowing wheel carrier owners to service their carries with a grease gun & lithium-based grease, which we recommend every 3 months. This ensures the longevity of your wheel carrier as opposed to other wheel carriers with plastic bushes that you can find on the market, which will degrade over time.

Our truck cab swing-away wheel carrier works with 90 and 110 Defenders, but will not work with 130 double cab models. Our wheel carrier has an adjustable head supporting wheel & tyre combinations up to 37 inches! We have also developed our wheel carrier to be compatible with the popular Ifor Williams canopies used on many utility vehicles.

Our Defender Truck Cab Wheel Carrier uses our super-tough “OREsome” powder coating system, which has been tested to withstand a 1000 hr salt spray corrosion test and has similar properties to British tank armour. All ORE Defender accessories are designed and manufactured in Great Britain to extremely high tolerances (0.02mm) and exceptional ZERO COMPROMISE standards of quality.

Store your spare wheel with a Truck Cab Defender wheel carrier from ORE4x4 UK.
