They arre available, I've seen one on E0Bay that fits into a standard US pattern 2" reciever, like Scorpion racings removable tow hitch :) the carrier even has a handle on each end.

Mine sits on a back-rack that I bought form Goodwinch, it fastens onto a 50mm towball, either end.  It's good and strong but it does tend to flex just a little.

I have changed it slightly since i took the pic...
i welded i bit of 6mm plate on th ends of the bumper which will surport the front wings. (not happy with how it looks atm But need to get it finished so it will do  now)
