I am trying to fit these racks to a 4 foot wise trailer for duck hunting. Can you swivel the rail mounts in order to make the spread less than 5feet?

You cannot swivel them as far as I know. I don't know how small they will go down to and whether they will go to 4ft. Although if they didn't get down that small I suppose you could just cut them down to that size.

The minimum spread between rails without cutting is about 57", but making it even narrower by cutting the horizontal tubes would be very easy to do.

I used them on my 4 ft wide utility trailer. I used the left bases on the right side and vice versa. Instead of the uprights curving into the trailer, it curved to the outside. Providing a cross bar wider than the 4 ft with of the trailer bed. I know can place more on the cross bars

I mounted wire racks on the sides, with no problem, however, for center support, I ran a 1x2 up the back. I'll try to post photo,s on the review site.

Don't know, my boat as low rails, but there is some slack, with no more than a foot high rail, it may work.

The rails are adjustable. Minimum length is 21". Maximum safe length is probably about 36". Mine are mounted in a rack with a 29" depth (a fairly standard depth for 4-post racks).

I would take the bolts to Home Depot or Lowell's and match them up with longer bolts. The rack is really great and easy to use. Make sure you put the straps on first before you mount the kayaks

Unless you wedge a 45 degree shim against the perpendicular extruded aluminum I would say no. It is really designed to hold the rails at a 90 degree angle. Its a great product for routing rails

I only bought one of these, but I don't think that you could because the rack frame corners are round. Also, when you have shoes on the rack, they stick up higher than the rack.

you will have to purchase the rack moutable equipment to make it that way. it does not come to you as rack mountable.

Absolutely! The rack tilts from the bottom to about 45 degrees for tailgate clearance. I have mine mounted on a pickup truck and have full use of my tailgate in a dropped position.

Only if you welded a piece of square tubing on it, it's built to mount flush. Wouldn't take much to adapt, good idea! I may just make one like that now.

The raised walls of the rails are about an inch high, if that. So they may not be deep enough to hold something in when installed vertically.

I think the shape of the brackets would not fit correctly over a round rail. Sorry.

Per Classic Store Fixtures.. No the rails do not extend on this rack. thanks Ben Elkins Classic Store Fixtures

I have a picatiny rail above the iron sites. It mounted directly to that and the mounts are free floating until I tightened them, with the Allen key it came with. I reall hope that answers your question.

Yes, they can. I've got mine attached just that way. Make sure your swivels are large enough, must be at least 1" wide.

This is not a good choice. Hard to mount on rack with swivel top and not stable standing alone.

These have quite universal clamps and open quite wide to clamp on the rails, you need to measure the width and see if these are what you want. We wanted wider then stock to give easier kayak loading and didn't care if they stuck out the sides. Under the product features it gives the rail size and location these will work with but if you still have concerns you could contact Discount Ramps but I would bet they'll just tell you what's on the listing. They're great rails, we use them a lot and easy to mount and remove.
