Questions & Answers

Does this fit on a Horse trailer and you think I could travel with it?

This would not be acceptable to me. I failed to mount it on a stud in my garage, so I removed it. The speeds of the vehicles on a road might accelerate under load, with bumps. The items would not be suitable for storage let alone for a lone shipment.

According to the manual, it is for 1 1/2" and 2' hitches and it shows an adapter. Could this not be included in the list? In that case, why not and in that case, where do I get it from?

Keith, first of all I think this is a great product! There are three bicycles that fit on my Saris Thelma bike rack (holds 2 As a part of the 1-year warranty, a bike rack was included An adapter that converts 1/2 inch to 2 inch. One is not included with the Swagman. If you don't need your bike rack then you can store the Swagman. It's well built and is a great way to store it. The piece of plywood I used as a mounting surface for extra strength.

This rack can you accommodate a Swagman 4 bike platform rack mounted on a hitch?

Yes, I would definitely say so. As I have a three-bike hitch and it's a major weight, this mount works great for it. Ensure it is mounted to a stud by screwing it in.

When it comes to this load, what is the maximum that you can put on it? If I were to use it with my 57 lb ultimate mx hauler, the weight would be reduced by half. ?

Unless the screws are officially rated for weights of 60 pounds, I am not sure what their load rating is. However, they are long screws that if drilled into studs will have no trouble bearing

A great idea, but beware if you have a rack that can hold four bikes
3/5

If you have a four bike rack, this mount will not hold, it will start bending, and this, despite its 100lb weight rating, and the weight of my rack, 80lb. I sent an email to the Swagman support team, who ignored my request. The flimsy material now makes it unusable, as it has been bent to the point where it is very weak.

If you want to store items on a rack, go for it
3/5

The Thule Transporter came in handy for this. Initially, I chose this method because I thought it would be less expensive. Huge failure. It is made out of metal that is extremely thin. A rating of 1 star is based on its durability. As a result, I returned it because it was flexing quite a bit. Having its center of gravity higher actually causes it to swing out like that. I would have been fine if it had been made of a thicker metal, but as it is, no bueno! I chose a rack stash and paid a little more.

I am very pleased with this bike carrier mount
5/5

I am very pleased with this bike carrier mount. The search results I was looking for are here! By using the Rubbermaid Fast Track and the storage hooks available in our garage, I was able to hang our bikes on the wall. My bike rack had been leaning against the wall with dust, dirt and scratches collecting on it. Swagman X Mount Bike Carrier Mount is one of the best bike carriers I've ever found. In deliberations between this and another brand, I went with this one due to the cheaper price. I put plywood on the wall (it is an unfinished garage, so there were two studs on either side) and then mounted this right on top of I installed it in about five minutes and it was very easy to do. The size of the screws included in the package is my only concern, and thus I cannot use them. My 5-ton truck has been hit by a very heavy freight train The screws included in the bicycle rack would be a bit light weight, and I was concerned about that. The reason I drilled larger holes into the X Mount and used significantly larger bolts was to allow for greater strength. There are a lot of walls that will fall before this thing does. In any case, my bike carrier is on the ground and it looks great now. do not know how good of a mount it is, but I have heard many compliments about it. On top of that, I can keep my ball hitch attached to it. The price and build quality of this model were both 5 stars. It is a recommendation that I would offer.

The Kuat Transfer 3 would work perfectly with this
5/5

Instead of having the potential for it to fall over and hit my car, I am using this to keep my Kuat Transfer 3 secure and off the floor. The unit works perfectly and allows me to move between the hitch on my car and storage easily. My Swagman has no problems supporting the Transfer 3 rack, which is a pretty beefy one. You should make sure that the mounting bracket hits studs. It was heavy enough, that I had to use some heavier lag bolts than what was included with it, in order to add an extra layer of security. There was a nice touch of having a slot in which you could hang a hitch. This is by far a better choice than Rack Stash due to the price difference.

I like the way you mounted my bike rack on the As I was waiting for the price to drop on the Swagman X Mount Bike Rack Storage, I had been watching it for a while
4/5

The reviews were generally positive, so I waited. My bike rack was laying on the floor of the garage tripping me up. It came down a few bucks and I was tired of tripping over it. Ensure the wall stud was in the to be mounted on when attaching the sign to the wall of my garage. As I stated previously, there were a few things that I didn't like about the mounting screws that came with the dish. For the installation, I purchased 1/4" X 3" lag bolts and washers instead of the screws that came with it. Having a Yakima 2 bike rack that folds open to hold my bikes below the wheels works just fine with the wall mount. I had considered having it hold my bikes while attached to the wall, but I was not comfortable with how much give was involved.

The perfect word
5/5

This is great! Thank you for sharing. It was necessary to store my bicycle rack AND my bike. I screwed the mount into the wall studs, then attached the 1up bike rack and then my bike. The screws that came with it worked fine, but I decided to get larger screws since my bike would also go on it. The bike rack gets off the ground and allows the bike to be stored flat, not at an angle thanks to its raised position. My recommendation is to check this out! The installation is easy (if you own.

This rack is pretty nice
4/5

You are mounting! It must be the best solution when it comes to storing a large tow hitch As a result, my garage looks neater, the rack is off the floor and out of the way, and my bikes are stored on it. The stand doubles as a work stand to facilitate easy jobs like lubricating chains, cleaning drivetrains, etc. *Some people mentioned an issue with the screws, but since there are 4 included, they should be enough to get the job done. Don't forget to use all 4 screws and to screw directly into a stud. There is no way this thing is leaving the ground, and that's with a heavy Yakima Holdup rack attached. There is only one complaint the 2" part of the rack that inserts is too long and interferes with the pin that stops it moving side to side. It's not a huge deal and can be fixed with some drilling, but I dock a star for it not being completely effective.

The exact thing I was looking for
5/5

This is a great product! My Saris 3 bike rack is stored in the Swagman. Good, well made, non-obtrusive, easy to use and reasonably priced. This rack has two notches on the sides that can accommodate a trailer hitch or ball hitch. I won't use it since I'm going to not use it. There is only one real downside (not a big deal) the screws / heads that come with the mount seem to be a little too small to hold my bike rack to the wall well enough. The bottom two holes were taken up by two lags and the top two holes were taken up by their screws. For the sideways tilt to work (the top two holes need small headed screws). Also, you will need to unscrew the receiver to put the top screws in (no big deal since they have tack welded the nut to the receiver! In my case, this feature wouldn't work because the Saris bike rack is too wide, but if you have a rack like the Swagman Hitch N Drive (that is flat) it is an ideal solution. The bottom line is that I will definitely buy this product.
