HEAVY DUTIES CLASSIC ALUMINIUM PANNIERS — BUILT TO WITHSTAND ANY ADVENTURE
Designed, tested, and perfected by riders for riders, our aluminium panniers are the result of years of real-world testing across continents. They combine rugged durability, functional design, and rider-focused engineering — so you can travel further, safer, and with confidence.
ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH & RELIABILITY
-
Premium 2 mm aluminium alloy with 14 precision bending lines delivers exceptional structural strength while keeping weight low.
-
Deep drawn lid and bottom (cold-formed, not welded) increase resistance, improve waterproofing, and eliminate weak welded corners.
-
Riveted and sealed base with silicone and an EPDM gasket ensures a dust- and waterproof seal, even in heavy rain or river crossings.
RIDER-FOCUSED DESIGN
-
Exchangeable 13-face plastic corner protectors made from in-house mould-injected high-density polyethylene provide abrasion resistance and impact protection.
-
CNC milled, TIG welded finish — every detail of our aluminium panniers crafted for durability and precision.
-
Integrated strap holders with rounded edges, designed to fit multiple strap sizes for quick gear attachment.
INNOVATIVE MOUNTING SYSTEM
-
Our panniers lock securely to laser-cut steel racks using high-strength polyethylene brackets and 14 bolted points with thread lock.
-
Safety Release: In case of a strong impact, the fixing system releases the pannier from the rack to:
-
Protect your legs in a crash.
-
Prevent the bike from bending the rack or crushing the box.
-
Keep your aluminium panniers intact and usable after the fall.
-
SECURE & ADVENTURE-READY
-
Choice of locking system: Heavy-duty 1.5 mm laser-cut steel toggle latches with Rhino embossing OR Alterna-Latch Dual-Action Hinge Lock System (open both ways).
-
One key lock system for both panniers — secure and convenient.
-
Designed to fit a wide range of motorcycle models with specific rack setups.

Almost 5 years ago, I was looking for a pair of panniers for my BMW F 800GS. I was compairing different pannier brands for weeks and started with the usual suspects like Givi, Hepco, Trax and Touratech. Since I was aiming for a maximum of load capacity, with a mimimum of width and high durability, the Heavy Duties panniers (39l black) seemed to be the right choice.
Their great advantage is, that they are built slightly higher than other panniers, without getting in the way of anything. I combined them with a slim exhaust and balanced pannier racks from another company so now the (39l) panniers are only about 2cm wider than the handlebar on each side, which is quite helpful for handling in urban regions with much traffic.
Now after several years of daily commutes, an tours aroung europe – mainly on streets and gravel roads, but also for an enduro training I will sum up my experiences as follows.
positive:
+ they are still completely water tight after five years!
+ thy survived 2-3 drops of the bike at very low speed without taking damage apart from light scratches and so they also protected the rest of the bike
+ I can see NO signs of functional wear and tear, even all the hinges and locks are still working fine, without ever being oiled
+ children just love the white rhino on the side 🙂
+ the flat top is excellent for strapping other bags, bottles and whatnot on it
neutral/negative:
0/- was a bit hard to find matching bags to put inside
0/- the black colour slooooooowly turned into a dark gray => but to be honest the bike is on the outside during sun, rain and even a bit of snow for about 9 months a year because I don’t have a garage, so that was probably to be expected
All in all I am still very happy about my purchase and would buy them again if I was in the same situation as 5 years ago. The brand name “Heavy Duties” really seems to be fitting these fine panniers. Also, the communication and transaction with Andrei and Alex worked perfectly, so I was glad to be their customer again for my Ural Sidecar a few years later 🙂

5/5 for Adventure Riding & Touring!
The Panniers are well made and look great on my BMW F 800 GS. For On- & Offroadadventure they are perfect!
I am using them with the HD Pannier Rack and the only downside i noticed is that when you are going fast in a asphalt curve the pannier is the first thing which touches the ground, even before the footpeg. Would be great if the rack or the mounting points on the pannier would lift the pannier a few centimeters higher for more lean angle. But beside this they are my best buddies for every kind of tour.

Ho comprato 2 valigie nere da 48 Litri per transalp Honda 600 anno 1998, per il tipo di moto consiglierei però le valigie da 39 Litri, un po piu piccole e piu gestibili, comunque resta il fatto che sono valigie veramente robuste che salvano spesso la moto da cadute accidentali, smontandosi senzqa rompere gli attacchi in pvc duro.
Sono contento del mio acquisto.
Mi chiedo solamente perché Heavy Duties non produca il bauletto posteriore nero con piastra.
Lo comprerei subito!

I am really happy with the panniers. I have them for 2 years now and they fit my needs perfectly. They are very strong and reliable. Only thing I would love to have is a quick-lock-system to fix them to the bike.

A piece of true craftsmanship. If Apple did panniers, they were like these. Bought mine two years ago.
Needed spare parts this year (had lost a lid), replacement was in Germany within a week.
Great service!

Ich habe die Koffer 2021 oder 2020 gekauft.
Sie können qualitativ absolut mit den viel zu teueren Koffern von TT mithalten.
Zur Zeit bin ich in Südamerika.
Die Koffer haben schon ohne Probleme mehre Stürze überstanden.
Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen.
Auch die ganze Abwicklung lief top.
Danke euch

He comprado un par de maletas HD para mi Tenere 700, y aunque apenas tienen aún un par de viajes, no puedo estar más contento. No sólo son resistentes, perfectamente impermeables y se colocan de manera sencillísima, si no que además quedan estupendas con ese rinoceronte estampado.
Comparadas con mis Touratech ZEGA anteriores, me gusta mucho más el sistema de cierre de HD, sencillo y resistente, que además no deja que la tapa salga volando aunque la llave esté sin echar.
La atención al cliente es exquisita y muy rápida. Han solventado un montón de dudas que tenía, incluso antes de decidir el modelo de moto que iba a comprar, y siempre con enorme amabilidad.
Por cierto, ¡las bolsas de IKEA de tamaño pequeño quedan perfectas en el interior!.
Compré también el sistema de anclaje lateral y superior para el equipaje y se coloca de manera sencilla y sin necesitar ajuntas.
Muchas gracias por la atención recibida, I hope this review in spanish will help you!

After one year of intensive use I can only say that their 48l panniers are awsome! Great quality and great value for the money!
Contact whit their company was also very easy and friendly, very nice people to deal with.
Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Best regards from Belgium

Incredibly strong panniers!!
Más que contento con las maletas, las compré hace 2 años y me di la vuelta a Europa con ellas, ni una pega, ni una gota de agua dentro, son más duras que cualquier otro modelo del mercado, les he dado golpes y a parte de arañazos y algún bollo, están en perfecto estado. Incluso el año pasado me caí a buena velocidad y la maleta protegió la moto, arrastró por asfalto sus buenos 150m y ni con esas se han roto.
Posiblemente son las maletas que no quieras vender con la moto.
Las cinchas para montar cosas encima son ideales para llevar la tienda de campaña o alguna bolsa adicional.
Además, cuando pasé por Rumanía fui a visitarles y acabé pasando el finde con ellos, una gente súper agradable, me enseñaron la fábrica y cómo trabajan, todo con un buen rollo increíble.
Mulțumesc mult!!!

3rd pair of suitcase that I bought with the support. The quality of the suitcases is always top notch. The finish of the suitcase supports is better than before. I am very happy with my purchase. For information, it is possible to mount the kit if the motorcycle has an Akrapovic exhaust. It’s fair but it passes. A small suggestion for improvement: move the suitcases slightly towards the rear because the passenger’s feet are very far in front of the footrests. this requires purchasing extenders to move the passenger footrests.
Regarding delivery, less than a week between order and receipt, careful packaging.
Top service, thanks to Heavy Duties
