Allen Sports Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack (2-Inch Receiver) , Black

Description

Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Carrier. Carry your
bicycles securely and avoid the hassles of piled bikes or high threshold
rooftop mounts, with the Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mount Rack. Fitting
vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch, the Allen Deluxe Hitch Mount Rack is
both easy to operate and super secure for your bikes. Constructed out of steel
with a durable black powder finish, the rack is built to last and is backed up
by a lifetime warranty by Allen. The Allen rack boasts a patented tie-down
system and individually cradles up to four bikes in the 22-inch carry arms. As
easy to install as it is to use, the rack sets up in less than 5 minutes with
a no-wobble bolt that holds it still within the hitch. When the rack is not in
use, the carry arms quickly drop out of the way and fold down flat with a
patented single pin mechanism and the rack tilts up to allow easy access to
the lift gate.Specifications:Fits vehicles with a 2-inch trailer hitch Holds

Minor assembly required About Allen Bike Racks: In 1967, after a few years of
working on the aerospace technology for the Apollo missions, Dick Allen was
out of a job. Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to
transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast,
inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying
device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White
Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the
transport of his family’s bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience
with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a
market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities. Always a pathfinder,
Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more
efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and
constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of
electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At
first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the
first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks.
Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold
nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company
owns over three-dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike
racks while Dick’s son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started
out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally,
two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries
around the world.Manufacturer’s Warranty Lifetime warranty
