The Fiamma Carry-Bike Ford Custom is a tailgate-mounted bike carrier designed specifically for Ford Transit and Tourneo Custom models with a single tailgate from 2012 onwards (H1 height). This deep black aluminium carrier fits campervans with lift roofs or raised roofs, offering a dedicated solution for transporting bikes without compromising tailgate access. It attaches to the lower section of the tailgate using a curved profile that follows the vehicle contours, with upper and lower brackets secured to factory reinforcement points requiring no drilling.

How does the Fiamma Carry-Bike Ford Custom work with campervan tailgates?


The carrier mounts directly to the single tailgate using curved brackets that follow the Ford Custom's bodywork, allowing you to open the tailgate fully even with the rack fitted, provided bikes are removed first. The stainless steel telescopic rail support base distributes the 50kg maximum load across upper and lower fixing points, with plastic supports protecting the paintwork during installation. At 8.6kg, the carrier adds minimal weight whilst providing a secure platform with 15cm rail spacing.

As standard, the system transports two bikes using the included Rail Plus tracks (88cm vertical wheelbase, 91cm horizontal) with Bike-Block Pro 1 and Pro S3 locking arms that secure frames at different heights. The rails feature improved torsion and flexural strength to handle e-bikes within the 50kg total limit. You'll need to purchase Bike-Block Pro 2 separately to expand capacity to three standard bikes, though the system handles two e-bikes without additional parts. A licence plate carrier (item A0003482) with control lighting is available as an optional extra to meet legal requirements, as the carrier measures 156 x 60 x 88cm when mounted.

The Security Strip adds theft protection, whilst the aluminium construction keeps maintenance straightforward. The carrier's design accounts for the Ford Custom's specific tailgate angle and reinforcement layout, which is why vehicle-specific fitment matters when choosing a bike rack for panel van conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Fiamma Carry-Bike Ford Custom fit my Transit Custom campervan conversion?
This carrier fits Ford Transit Custom and Tourneo Custom models from 2012 onwards with a single tailgate and H1 roof height, including lift roof and raised roof conversions such as Westfalia Nugget and Nugget Plus. It does not fit double door models, vans with rear spoilers, or vehicles equipped with rear ladders or luggage racks. The curved bracket design is engineered specifically for the Transit Custom's tailgate profile and reinforcement points.
How many bikes does the Fiamma Ford Custom carrier hold and what's the weight limit?
The carrier holds two bikes as standard using the supplied Bike-Block Pro 1 and Pro S3. You can add a third bike by purchasing the separate Bike-Block Pro 2 and additional rail. The maximum load capacity is 50kg total across all bikes. For e-bikes, the Rail Plus system handles two e-bikes within the 50kg limit, but three e-bikes exceed the safe weight threshold. Tyre width must not exceed 6.5cm.
Does the Fiamma Carry-Bike require drilling into the Ford Custom tailgate?
No drilling is required. The carrier attaches using upper and lower brackets that bolt to the vehicle's existing reinforcement points on the tailgate. Plastic supports are included with each bracket to prevent paint damage during installation and use. The curved lower fixing bar adheres to the tailgate shape, whilst the telescopic stainless steel rail support base distributes weight across the mounting points.
Can I open the tailgate with the Fiamma bike carrier fitted?
Yes, you can open the tailgate fully when the carrier is mounted, but bikes must be removed first. This is a key advantage over tow bar mounted carriers, as you retain access to the rear of your campervan for loading gear or accessing storage. The carrier's weight of 8.6kg and curved profile design allows the tailgate mechanism to function normally without bikes loaded.
What's the difference between Rail Plus and standard Fiamma bike rails?
Rail Plus features improved torsion and flexural strength compared to older rail designs, making it suitable for heavier e-bikes. The rails are spaced 15cm apart and provide an 88cm vertical wheelbase with 91cm horizontal wheelbase between brackets. This updated design reduces flex when transporting heavier bikes and provides better long-term durability on vehicles that cover higher annual mileages.
Do I need a separate licence plate carrier for the Fiamma Ford Custom rack?
Yes, a licence plate carrier is required by law when bikes obscure your vehicle's registration plate, but it's sold separately. This optional extra includes control lighting to maintain visibility of your number plate. The carrier dimensions of 156 x 60 x 88cm mean bikes will typically obscure the standard plate position on Ford Custom models, making the licence plate carrier necessary for legal road use.
