What is the weight of this bike rack?

Hi, I am not sure of the exact weight. But, I will say, for its size it feels light (Maybe 50lbs?), but at the same time is very sturdy. Sorry couldn't be more specific.

UPS says the weight of the package was 56 pounds. So fully assembled, sans packaging, it'd be pushing 50 if not a little over

Its about 47 Lbs the swing arm is steal the rest of it is aluminum. So if you don't need the swing part that cut the weight down quite a bit. There's definite trick to lifting it in to the receiver hitch. I rest it on my legs line up slide in, grease receiver. If you can't lift it your week.

I am not entirely sure, but it is heavy. I would imagine something like 50lbs if not more. It is thick metal and built like a tank. It is heavy, I have to use both hands to move it and I am 6'1'' and 190 lbs and in shape. My wife could not lift it up

I purchased this rack in May 2014. I have two Schwinn Hybrid Cruisers I mount on it with no problem. They weigh 46 lbs each. I don't know the maximum the rack will hold.I would have to get the rack down from storage in the garage and install it to give you an exact measurement, but it is no more than 24"

The shipping weight is around 30 pounds, but the actual weight is a little less than that once you remove all the packaging. As far as the assembly, it was easy. We found this video on youtube and assembled it step-by-step by following the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65btr_WBgHc We have traveled all over with our bikes using this bikerack, from Ohio to Hilton Head, SC and back, and all over the Indiana/Ohio/Michigan area and have never had a problem. We use bungie cords instead of the little velcro fasteners for the bicycle tires that come with it, but other than that, have made no other adjustments.

Bike rack did not fit my vehicle even though Amazon said it was a correct match. Sent back for refund. I'd guess it weighed about 10 pounds.

Not too bad. Maybe 30-35 pounds. I have three artificial joints and a back that, according to a neurosurgeon, "has failed." If I can put it on and off, anyone can. What is really special is the way the pillar folds back to make it easy to stow the bike closest to the bumper. I've had 4 crappy bike racks in the last 20 odd years. This is the only one I want from now on out.

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.

250 lbs. according to another website. I've loaded it with lots of heavy wet items and it showed no signs of bending or collapsing. Great rack.

I'm guessing it weighs about 25-30 pounds, but I haven't weighed it. I can lift it with one hand and position it into the hitch receiver with the other hand without a problem. It does not come assembled, but assembly is fairly easy. It took me about 30 minutes and you'll need a couple sockets to tighten 2 or 3 bolts. Overall I've been very happy with the rack. It's not a heavy duty rack like the higher-end racks (that also cost 2-3 times more), but it will support the weight of two normal bikes without a problem.

Shipping weight says 40# but the bike it self doesn't feel like it. 25-30 #. Hope it helps

I don't know the exact weight but I'd say maybe 2 lbs. It's strong and sturdy.

I believe the website stated a capacity and I believe it was 200lbs. It is stout. I bought the 4 bike rack and it is capable of that.

I've not weighed it, but it's pretty darn light. My best guess would be under fifty pounds. The frame is an aluminum alloy. I've had the bike for over a month now, it's really great.

Not sure of weight rating. I returned it because the bicycle rack maker(Yakima) said not to use hitch extensions with a bicycle rack--it's unsafe. You would think it would be even less safe towing an RV.

It is very light.. 4 oz. is probably close. I got it because of the color and the rubber tip ($3.50 by it self). I have 20lb. & 40lb. bikes. So I'm not concerned with weight.

not sure about actual weight but we put two Trek bikes on it. They are full size adult bikes with standard frames. The rack has held up fine and works great on the back of our camper

The rack weighs 29 lbs. No it doesn't come assembled, but any reasonably handy person could assemble it. This is a link to assembly instructions if you'd like to take a look before purchase. http://mediacdn.shopatron.com/media/mfg/572/spec_file/212914541.pdf
