Budget Amazon brand for J-bar kayak carriers and cargo baskets. Popular for affordable entry-level water sport racks.
TMS is a Chinese manufacturer selling hitch cargo baskets, motorcycle carriers, and folding cargo trays on Amazon at the lowest tier of pricing. Their 500-pound capacity steel cargo basket is typically under $90.
Build quality is basic. Welds are functional but not confidence-inspiring. For a single cross-country move or a weekend road trip, TMS is a defensible budget choice. Beyond that, buy something better.
Did you know?
TMS (the rack brand, not the management systems company) is a private label used by multiple Chinese factories and Amazon resellers — there's no single "TMS Inc." behind the brand. Warranty support is essentially whichever Amazon seller happens to be fulfilling orders that week.
