Provided is an assembly, suitable for carrying equipment such as bikes, skis, snowboards, and storage boxes, that can be mounted to the rear of a vehicle. The assembly comprises a mast 12 with a channel 16, that may be lipped, that can receive a member to which equipment can be mounted, wherein one end of the mast 12 has a member 14 that can be mounted to a vehicle’s tow ball. The mast 12 may be pivotally rotatable about the tow ball mounting member 14 by the action of a pneumatic member 20. Suitable mounting members include cross-arms 72 (Fig. 19), frame (86, Figure 26)/board (120, Figure 54)/tyre (104, Figure 69) clamps, and luggage boxes (176, Figure 87). The assembly may also have a mounting tray 136 with hooks 142 that can attach to spindles 144 provided on the bottom of the mast 12, thus allowing the tray 136 to be removably attached to the mast 12.
