What is the weight of the rack? Looking for something reasonably easy to remove.

in between 30-40 lbs. We keep it stored on the wall in the carport from large angle brackets. My wife doesn't install...little awkward for her. When mounted to vehicle, it is very easy to mount bikes or fold up when not in use.

Without weighing it, I'd say between 30 and 40lbs. It's very rigid, that doesn't usually go without a bit of weight. Quite bulky to store, flipped up it's still 57x31x17"

Less than thirty pounds it's not that heavy. My wife can move it around pretty easily

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

I returned the Gorilla Rack because it was too flimsy. I don't believe you can remove the bottom two shelves without substantially degrading stability. If the aquariums are heavy I'm afraid it will not hold the weight.

Hi Terese, I did not weigh the luggage rack, but it is lightweight and sturdy. I use it a lot when I visit my daughter.I have arthritis, and it is not too heavy for me to lift.

If there was any assembly required it was minimal. The rack has been terrific and that's really all I remember.

Not sure, but once the rack is full, it weighs approx. 25 -30 lbs. Something heavy duty.

There is nothing technical about the attaching or removing of the rack but some might consider it heavy. I have installed it many times without any issues and I have generally been impressed with the strength of the unit but in that strength there is weight.

Mine is the Rack Pro, which weighs 30 pounds. I also purchased the two five pound plates, which work well with the system.

I do not know the exact weight of the item but I do not believe that it is 50 lbs. It is a rather large and bulky box but I carried it into my house under one arm. I coat rack is somewhat light weight but it has done its job and held up well at my house and we are not delicate people.

I believe about 50 -60 lbs. that is a an approximate guess. Yes you can remove that there's a knob that turns on the backside for adjustment or removed.

Sorry, I love the rack but do not have a quick release. Not sure I have ever seen one.

It's an 18u rack.... So just like any other rack you can unscrew them and move them up and down as desired.

Patricia, the stats say it is 30 lbs, which is about right. It is large and awkwardly shaped is likely why some are claiming it to be so heavy. Fitting it into a hitch can be a challenge, simply because it has to be inserted straight in. I ususally line it up and give it a bump with my foot to get it started. From there I can let go of it and I step under the cradle arm and take the weight off with my shoulder as I guide it the rest of the way into the hitch. It's not the difficult and the rack is very strong and as such, I would expect it to be heavy.

3 and 3/8 inches closed. It is not difficult to remove the rack when not in use.

The sections aren't heavy. The first assembly was a bit confusing, after that an easy process. I use a locking bolt and installing that on the hitch takes longer than installing the rack. One note, I've only transported 2 bikes not 4.

Its easy to re assemble. You can't put heavy items on the rack because it comes apart.

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.
