RacksBrax All-in-One Quick Release Hitch: Fast On, Fast Off

Your 4WD is built for adventure, but that doesn’t mean every accessory needs to stay on your vehicle all the time. An awning is incredibly useful when you’re camping, touring or enjoying a day outdoors, but carrying it permanently can add unnecessary weight, height and exposure to the elements.

That’s where the RacksBrax All-in-One Quick Release Hitch comes in.

Designed to make your vehicle setup more flexible, the RacksBrax Quick Release Awning Hitch allows you to lock your awning onto your vehicle when you need it and remove it when you don’t – without the hassle of tools every time. The current RacksBrax quick release range is designed for a variety of awning and accessory configurations, with built-in locking mechanisms and a maximum load rating of 20kg per mounting point.

One Hitch. More Freedom.

The idea behind the RacksBrax system is simple: fast on, fast off.

Instead of leaving your awning exposed to Australian sun and weather between trips, you can remove it and store it safely until your next adventure. Taking the awning off also gives you the flexibility to use your 4WD as an everyday vehicle without carrying equipment you don’t need.

The system has been developed specifically around the frustrations of permanently mounted awnings, recovery boards and other roof rack accessories. The original RacksBrax HD Hitch was designed so roof-rack-mounted awnings could be locked on or removed in less than 10 seconds.

From Camping to Everyday Driving

A quick-release system becomes particularly useful when your 4WD does double duty. During the week, you might need your vehicle for commuting, work or family life. At the weekend, it can transform into your camping and touring rig.

Removing the awning when it isn’t required can also help reduce exposure to UV, moisture and road conditions.

Mix Up Your Setup: Awnings, Recovery Boards and Shower Tents

One of the biggest advantages of the RacksBrax All-in-One Quick Release Hitch is the ability to change your vehicle setup depending on the adventure. You don’t have to commit to carrying the same accessories on your roof rack every day.

Camping & Recovery Setup

Heading out for a camping trip? Fit your awning and enjoy instant shade and shelter. Planning a weekend away where recovery gear is essential? Swap your setup and carry your MAXTRAX® or TRED® recovery boards instead. RacksBrax HD Accessory Bars and HD Accessory Bars are designed to work with the HD Hitch, allowing compatible recovery boards to be locked onto or removed from your vehicle in seconds.

Shower Tents & Ensuite Options

A shower tent or ensuite is another practical option. Whether you’re setting up a private shower, changing area or campsite toilet, RacksBrax has demonstrated how compatible shower tents can be attached to the HD Hitch for a fast-on, fast-off setup.

This flexibility means your 4WD can evolve from an everyday vehicle into a fully equipped touring rig when you need it - without permanently carrying every accessory.

Even better, once your gear is removed, RacksBrax offers wall-mounting solutions for storing compatible awnings, recovery boards and shower accessories at home.

One vehicle. Multiple configurations. One quick-release system.

That’s the real benefit of the RacksBrax approach: build your setup around the trip you’re taking, rather than the accessories you happen to leave on your vehicle.

Fast on. Fast off. Take off on your next adventure with RacksBrax.
