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.
