Colorado-based Let’s Go Aero boosted the production of its supersized BlackBox enclosed cargo carriers with new build capacity at its facility in Grand Rapids, Mich. The move comes with feature improvements that have been added that the company said will position the BlackBox as an OEM-friendly add-on for RVs, SUVs and vans.
“It’s been a goal of ours to get GearDeck, GearSpace, and BlackBox production, what we like to call our ‘Cargo Killers’, established in the RV manufacturing capital of Michiana,” said Marty Williams, president and CEO of Let’s Go Aero. “We are jazzed to see production continuing to ramp up.”
The company said that the BlackBox model is the largest enclosed cargo carrier on the market with an extra-large interior dimension of 72 inches long by 32 inches wide and 40 inches high. With a little more than 51 cubic feet of cargo space and a 315 pounds payload weight rating (and a 500-pound gross weight rating), the BlackBox carries up to four bikes, loads of luggage for group travel, generators, mobility wheelchairs and more. Built on Let’s Go Aero’s TwinTube platform, the BlackBox slides out to clear towable slide-outs, passenger and cargo van doors, truck tailgates and SUV liftgates.
The company said its newest move to the RV OEM channel entails design enhancements including heavy-duty bolt lock-down security, larger LED stop/turn/taillights, a longer slideout and a solid floor panel design. The company also teased the possibility of OEM customization for RV and conversion van manufacturers, creating the opportunity for manufacturers to offer unique storage options with customized branded graphics.
Its Cargo Killers, the company notes, are all made in the USA.
