Perfect for Hunting Season
Your Defender is the perfect hunting accessory. But that doesn’t mean you’re prepared to load up a record-setting buck alone! Upgrade your Can-Am Defender HD5 with SuperATV’s Game Loader Rack. This durable rack comes equipped with a 500-pound winch to do all the heavy lifting for you.
Equipped with a Winch
We designed this rack with a muscular 500-pound winch to make loading your kill easier. The synthetic rope is super durable and more than capable of moving deer, bighorn sheep, and other mid-size game. The winch is handy for chores too. Moving logs, rocks, or bags of concrete just got way easier with the help of a winch.
Steel Tubing for Strength
If you’re going to be moving prize-winning prey into the bed, you need the rack to be tough enough to keep up. That’s why we constructed this rack from beefy 1.5” steel tubing. It won’t bend or break and it’s powder coated to resist rust. It mounts to your Defender’s frame with ultra-strong brackets—that’s right, there’s no cutting or drilling required to install it. There are even two locations to add cube lights to help you see before dawn or after dusk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a game loader rack used for on a Can-Am Defender?
A game loader rack is designed to help you safely load large game or heavy materials into your Defender’s bed without straining yourself. Our Game Loader Rack uses an integrated 500‑lb winch to lift deer, elk, logs, or job‑site materials with controlled, mechanical assistance.
How much weight can the SuperATV Can-Am Defender Game Loader Rack handle?
The rack is equipped with a 500‑pound winch that’s ideal for mid‑size game and heavy utility tasks. The rack itself is built from 1.5‑inch powder‑coated steel tubing, so it stays rigid and stable while lifting and guiding loads into the dump bed.
Will this game loader rack fit my Can-Am Defender?
Yes, this rack fits 2016+ Can-Am Defender and Defender MAX models across multiple trims. Fitment is cage‑mount based, so it works with most Defender configurations as long as the machine is not equipped with snorkels or full doors.
Does the game loader rack interfere with the Defender dump bed?
No, the rack is designed specifically to avoid interfering with dump bed operation. You retain full dump functionality while using the rack for loading and unloading heavy items.
How difficult is installation for the SuperATV Game Loader Rack?
Installation is no‑drill and clamps directly to the Defender’s cage using heavy‑duty brackets. We provide detailed written instructions and step‑by‑step install videos, and most installs can be completed with basic hand tools.
Can I use the rack with roofs or rear windshields installed?
Yes, the rack is compatible with most roofs and rear windshields, making it easy to integrate into existing Defender setups. The frame‑mounted design allows you to keep your accessories in place while adding loading capability.
What makes SuperATV’s game loader rack better than DIY solutions?
We engineer this rack specifically for the Defender using vehicle‑specific mounts, steel construction, and a matched winch system. Unlike improvised loaders, ours is tested for stability, proper winch geometry, and long‑term durability in real hunting and work conditions.
Does the rack include lighting options?
Yes, the rack has two dedicated mounting points for cube lights, with optional lights available at checkout. This makes early‑morning or evening loading safer and easier when visibility is limited.
