Hi Kristen, Without seeing your portable, it sounds like my trailer would work just fine. I've carried my 12' aluminum boat on it many times. The picture showing on your email looks like a boat trailer. The one I have for sale is a utility trailer. See my ad photo. (I'm going to double check it myself.)

Two friends and I have all fit in the boat many times. We each weigh about 160lbs, so in my experience it holds well over 400lbs.

Great little trailer. Pull behind my motorcycle with cargo carrier on it. loaded to about 500 lbs. gross. Fine on highway but i don't ride much over 65 on the motorcycle. Tires never got real hot. Hope this helps.

It weighs about 110 pounds. I have never moved it once it was set up. However, there are wheels on the front stabilizer to assist in moving.

I don't remember what the official weight estimate was but I carry a 75 lb Yamaha generator on it along with four full 2.5 gallon cans of gas which is another nearly 40 lbs. I have carried this much weight on it for almost five years and there's no sign of any damage other than a little rust. I am sure it would hold more but there's no more room to put anything.

I saw 1500 lbs. somewhere on the site of the item. I use it on a light weight trailer that I use for my canoe - about 100lbs. It works fine for that. Not sure how it would work with a heavier item. If you're worrying about the weight rating (or if I were worrying about the weight rating), I would go to an expert on trailers.

60 to 75 pounds total. I broke it down to two sections, just the boat in the original bag, and another for the floor and other stuff. I used a canvas gym bag.

I'd have estimated about 10 pounds and see in the description shipping weight of 12 pounds, so agree its probably pretty close to that. Most of the weight is from the metal housing.

It's over a 100lbs! I could load it on a trailer by myself. I would use the tires and load the side with the tires and then pick up with the handle side, two people can load it no problem. It's a little two bulky for one person to handle. I have picked it up by myself, but it's hard for one person.

It lists the shipping weight as 55 pounds. Maybe I'm actually stronger than I am aware, but I don't think it weighs quite that much. But it's still not light. I would say at least 40 pounds, maybe 45. If I think about how much a full five gallon bucket of water weighs (which is 45 pounds), it seems like it's lighter. That could partly be to the density of the water in the bucket compared to the spread-out-ness of the rack ("small" things that are heavy seem heavier than "larger" things of the same weight?) I see that this product description has changed since my original purchase and review. When I bought it, it was a 2 bike rack and you purchased the extension for 2 more bikes separately. Now the base rack and the extension are bundled. I assume they would have updated the full product info including shipping weight. Either way, I have both the base rack and the extension. I suppose your concern regarding weight is going to revolve around how difficult it would be for one adult to hitch/unhitch with the vehicle. One average adult should be able to handle it, in my opinion. You don't have to lift it very far off the ground to reach the hitch receiver, and then the majority of the weight will rest on the receiver as you slide it in. If you can get someone to help you then of course it would be easier, but I did it by myself with relative ease. The whole thing being necessarily large makes it a little unwieldy, but also provides lots of hand holds. I doubt you have much concern about the weight of the rack in regards to the tow capacity of the receiver or vehicle. If that is truly your concern, then you shouldn't be trying to carry four bikes on your car.

It is NOT aluminum; it's flimsy, painted metal so I'd agree that it's under 5-pounds. But "easy to carry" is relative: not for a long time, not with a cooler or other stuff, not to the beach, not if you're a kid, a small woman or a senior citizen. "Light" only if you're moving it from one place to another like from the garage to the patio.

I have not weighed it, but it probably weighs about 35 lbs. The rack does not cause any discomfort when I am hanging it on the back of my truck hitch. It would probably be a bit heavy for an average woman to handle easily, but they could handle it in a pinch. My wife is 115 lbs and she would struggle but could do it. It is a GREAT bike rack! Nothing better! That thing is built to LAST!

The rack weight about 25-35pounds, it is light weight, the wheels make it very easy to move. I just simply love mines, it is susch a well built rack.

If I remember right its 350 or 400 pounds I weight 230 and I have elect. trolling motor and battery with all that comes to about 330 lbs. plus all my fishing stuff it still rides high in the water but one thing battery goes in the back and trolling motor has to go in the front

for sure it weight more than 29lbs, it is very heavy, i had hard time to move it when it was in the box, but as soon as you put everything together, it was not bad to move around with wheels. watch out for rust in the handle fitting, bad welds and misaligned the enforcement bars.

There is a bottom weight restriction of 3500 pounds. I tow a tent trailer and use top for my bike rack.
