I want to put Lifetime 60012 Extra Large Deck Box (60"X24") on this, will it fit? Has anyone installed this on a basket (it says it is 60X24")?

I have and it worked great!!! I had to cut the back portion of the of the basket edge. to give it more room and make sure it would give clearance with opening the back of my SUV. I bolted the box to the basket. Works prefect and is water tight! It makes going to Costco a dream. LOVE IT!

If the box has very square corners I doubt it. The carrier has radiused corners. The only way to tell is to try it unless the box is made specifically for this carrier. I also have tried to find a combination of three or four boxes to fit well without the loss of capacity. Ed W

It will not. I took the hitch carrier to Lowes to see if the assembled lifetime 60012 they had on display would fit. Not even close. The 60012 too wide by about a quarter inch on both front and back sides of the hitch carrier and the corners of the hitch carrier won't accommodate the box. I had hoped it would work...

Ours fits, but it is tight. Did you lubricate it? Hitches often get a little corrosion (rust) on the inside, so you might need a combination of oil and a little persuasion (I used some gentle taps from a dead blow mallet). Also, the weight of the basket makes it hard to get it to go straight in.

There is a bracket that screws into the deck or some flat surface on the deck. The surface must be about 24 in. long. It works very well.

Not sure of the size of the basket - I bought this for my mother and she was well pleased with it.

Ellen - it shouldn't be a problem. I just measured mine (installed) and it is 4 3/4 inches from the bottom of the wire basket to the bottom of the shelf I have it on. Hope this helps!

I went into the Hamilton Beach site and they have a permanent basket you can buy. It had a different number than this one. Probably should check it out with Hamilton Beach to make sure.

I just put a piece of computer printer paper in the basket, and the bottom of the basket is not wide enough for it. It does have extra room length wise.

the deck width dimensions are measured on the inside so you have a full 24" inside by 60" inside. hope this helps.

the basket was quite large but not very deep. the basket was left out of my order, I called and they shipped it separately. In the mean time I took my bike to a bike shop to get assembled they did a great job and I love my bike. When the basket arrived I had my husband try to put it on the bike and it wouldn't fit right without twisting the frame and wheels so I threw the basket away

Wow, I don't know. The wide top part looks like a problem. What are the dimensions? It barely fits my board, and I haven't tried using it yet.

The pole is about 5 feet long completely collapsed. Not sure if your basket would have a connector to screw the pole onto, but if it does, it could work.

Yes. I think it will work.. I have a basket on front of bike and it fits over it. Enjoy it.

Yes, it should fit it... I've had 6x6 containers fit and it would easily stretch a bit to fit that extra inch in the width. You might see the outline of the box which might ruin the aesthetic of the box.

Anthony: This product is a universal fit, so it probably will fit. HOWEVER when I unpacked the rack and began to put it together I discovered that it was not welded correctly. The long rails on back side would not line up with the long rails on the front side. I looked into it and discovered that the basket welds were off by 3/4". Bottom line when you order from "Best Choice" you are taking a real gamble. I would not recommend buying from them. You are better off spending a few more bucks and getting a rack from a more reputable company.

I just measured mine. It's 2.5 at the widest end. It should work & give you enough difference to make it snug. It's rubber so you can really work with it. I use mine for our sleeve on our decking & works fine.

Yes I still have two of these baskets although I think they are more like 10" wide and 17 1/2" high. These were the only ones I could find to fit my built in and the price was great.

We attached ours to my husband's adult size bike. Basket measures 13" wide. Mounting bracket fits at center point, then we added 2 zip ties on either side for additional stability. Measure your handle bars to see if it will work. Hope this helps!
