SideTrack Hitch Swing Adapter [Hollywood Racks]

Overview

The Hollywood Racks Swing-Away Bike Rack Adapter is a handy accessory for anyone using a hitch-mounted bike rack but needing rear vehicle access. By extending the hitch outward and allowing the rack to swing away, this adapter provides easy trunk, tailgate, or hatch access without removing your bikes or the rack — perfect for daily use, road trips, or errand runs with a full rack load.

Key Features & Compatibility

• Fits 2″ hitch receivers — compatible with most standard bike racks and hitch-mounted accessories that use 2″ receivers.
• Extends rack position outward, enabling full rear vehicle access even with bikes mounted — ideal for SUVs, hatchbacks, and vans.
• Swing-away design allows easy pivoting of the rack without removing bikes — convenience for loading/unloading cargo or accessing rear storage.
• Heavy-duty steel construction with durable powder-coat finish — built to handle regular use and support typical bike rack loads safely.
• Simple install and secure locking pin system — easy to attach or remove using minimal tools or effort, making it practical for everyday riders or travelers.

Why It’s Useful

• Keeps your bikes mounted while accessing the trunk or rear cargo area — avoids repeated loading/unloading when running errands or traveling.
• Great for vehicles with rear-hatch or tailgate access — improves convenience and prevents rack from blocking doors.
• Useful for frequent bike-rack users — cyclists, commuters, or family riders who carry bikes regularly and want easy access to vehicle rear space.
• Durable and stable — provides a secure extension for bike racks, ideal for long trips, frequent use, or heavier bikes.
