luggage carrier

Suitcase transport person

A luggage carrier is a frame or rack for transporting bags and parcels.

On a bicycle, it's typically a metal rack mounted over the rear wheel: She strapped her backpack to the luggage carrier.

On a car, it refers to a roof rack or cargo carrier.

The term also applies to a person employed to carry travelers' bags, though porter or bellhop is more common.
