Can this be used on a 2 post rack? if so what is the weight it can bear?

I am going to say no, it will not work on a two post rack. The rails mount on front and back. Your best option is a cantilever shelf. They are designed for two post mounting.

Suppose you can but I would use ratchet straps to secure it to the rack.Two across and one front to back.

No unfortunately you are going to have to buy 2 racks I have one for Olympic and one for standard this standard couldn't handle that type of weight and the 35's are too tall for that rack

It should be no problem, these baskets are designed to work with a wide variety of racks. The brackets that hold the baskets on are pretty versitile, and you could also get pipe clamps or some other type or bracket if your rack is an odd size. Should work just fine.

I don't know for sure but I would estimate it could hold 2 beach cruiser size bikes or up to 50 pounds. I would estimate that the measurement from receiver to outside of rack would be around 20".

I am using it with a dual bench press stands, and it works OK. But I am only benching &lt;175lbs. Not sure about heavier weights. HTH

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

The rails themselves are adjustable depending on the rack depth that you have. This would definitely be able to support it. I believe that the shelf on the rails is at least 12".

I'm not sure what you're asking. This is a rack for 2 bicycles. Please rephrase your question & I'll see if I can answer it. Thanks. Steve

The spec says 300lbs. The 2" tubes are very strong. If just static weight for what you are going to do is OK. But it will be moving, acceleration and brake and turns, You better have rubber bumper to stop the rack from moving left and right, front and back. It comes with a bumper for the rear end at bottom. But I would put more on the upper, also for the front cross bar too.

Physically it can be done but I believe the rack would not be as strong as designed.

Yes, the rack you are using would likely be fine. The mounting hardware is flexible enough to accommodate just about any sort of rack. The Topeak rack you have has a weight rating of 40 pounds which will be you main limitation. Make sure you keep that in mind when loading the baskets. Generally though, a regular steel rack does not have a weight rating much higher than that.

I think it will be too wobbly. The method it uses for securing the basket to the rack isn't strong enough.

This hitch supports a 2" bike rack. If your bike rack is smaller, you will need to buy an adapter.

Should definitely work, but the two arms may be a bit too close if you want a balanced two-point support, not perfect for single point hang. The previous answer's tip on stud is a good one.

I haven't tried it that way as I have a regular 2" hitch but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. It would make the bike rack stick out further but that might not be a problem.
