The most heavy-duty of all our carrier cycles, the Loadstar is a reliable and durable machine fit for all manner of commercial and industrial uses. A firm customer favourite for over thirty years, it has been used everywhere from the busy streets of urban India to oil rigs in the North Sea.
Its flat rear platform is capable of carrying loads up to 200 kilos, all thanks to the classic three-wheeled design. This frame, hand-built by our team of skilled craftsmen, is robust enough to cope with all the rigours of modern business and is stable enough to keep your personnel safe even when fully loaded. The Loadstar comes equipped to build on this safety, with a triple braking system as standard: the powerful front hub brake combines with twin rear calliper brakes to ensure rapid stopping in all conditions.
Like all our carrier cycles, the Loadstar can be customised to meet you and your business’ needs: along with customer colour options, the rear platform can be augmented by a wire mesh cage for the bulkiest loads and a 3 speed internal gear system can be fitted, allowing it to tackle hillier terrain even when loaded. It is therefore a versatile, unique alternative to motorised transport that is robust enough to handle every demand of modern commercial and industrial use.
