When you’re building a serious 4WD, every component has a job to do. Your roof rack needs to carry the load, your awning needs to provide shelter, and the connection between them needs to be strong, reliable, engineered and easy to use.
That’s where RacksBrax comes in.
RacksBrax quick release awning hitches are designed to make removing and reinstalling your awning fast and simple - without tools - while delivering the strength, precision and durability expected from serious 4WD equipment.
Quick Release. No Tools. No Hassle.
The biggest benefit is right in the name: quick release.
Once installed, RacksBrax allows your awning to be removed from the vehicle without repeatedly undoing bolts and fasteners. No searching for tools. No climbing around the roof rack with a spanner. No wasting time dismantling your setup.
Simply release the hitch, remove the awning, store it on your garage wall, and get on with your day.
When it’s time to go touring again, the awning can be quickly reinstalled.
It’s a simple idea, but one that can make a significant difference if you regularly use your 4WD as both a daily driver and an adventure vehicle.
Precision Engineering
RacksBrax isn’t just a bracket with a quick-release mechanism.
The HD and XD Hitch systems have been developed by Australian mechanical engineers using finite element analysis (FEA) and physical load testing to validate the specified loading.
That’s important because an awning mounting system doesn’t only have to work at its static weight.
When a vehicle travels over corrugations, potholes and uneven terrain, the mounting system experiences dynamic loading, vibration and changing forces.
Good engineering means understanding those forces and designing the load path accordingly.
Built to Handle Heavy Loads
Large 180° and 270° wing awnings can be substantial pieces of equipment and a great investment for your camping setup. Their size and cantilevered geometry also mean that the mounting system needs to be properly matched to the application.
RacksBrax provides defined load ratings and configurations, including double and triple hitch systems for appropriate applications.
XD Hitch
Specifically designed for larger wing-style awnings.
HD Hitch
Covers a range of smaller pull-out awnings and accessory configurations.
The important point is that RacksBrax doesn’t rely on vague claims of being “heavy duty”.
The load capacity is engineered, specified and tested.
No Rust Where It Matters
The HD and XD Hitches are manufactured from UV-stabilised glass-reinforced nylon, rather than conventional steel. That means the hitch itself cannot rust.
For a product that lives outdoors, exposed to rain, dust, mud, salt air and changing weather conditions, that matters. Glass-reinforced nylon provides the strength and durability required for the hitch while eliminating the corrosion concerns associated with a steel hitch body.
The RacksBrax mounting brackets are manufactured from stainless steel, providing additional corrosion resistance at the vehicle and roof-rack interface.
So, when you're heading into harsh touring environments, you can have confidence that your RacksBrax hitch system is designed for all conditions.
No rust. No unnecessary corrosion. Just engineered materials designed for life outdoors.
No rust. No unnecessary maintenance. Just engineered hardware ready for the next trip.
Secure When Mounted
Quick release doesn’t mean loosely attached.
RacksBrax incorporates a built-in locking system designed to secure the awning when installed, along with a no-rattle design.
The objective is simple:
Secure when you drive. Quick when you release.
Designed for 180° and 270° Awnings
The XD Hitch is purpose-designed for larger wing-style awnings, including many 180° and 270° configurations.
With XD Multi-Awn Adaptors available for additional mounting geometries, RacksBrax provides flexibility across a growing range of awning designs.
For larger setups, double and triple hitch configurations allow the mounting system to be matched to the awning manufacturer’s recommended mounting points.
More Than a Hitch
RacksBrax also offers XD Wall Mounts, allowing compatible awnings to be removed from the vehicle and stored on your garage wall.
That means the awning can remain part of your touring setup without permanently living on your vehicle.
Vehicle when travelling → Wall when stored → Quick release when needed
