Bike Rack Weight Ratings
Lippert bike racks and tire carriers are weight rated based on the height of the main rail tube. Weight ratings for
pull-out and fold-down bike racks are as follows:
Pull-out bike rack on 4"- 6" main rail tube - 150 lb.
Pull-out bike rack on 8" I-Beam main rail - 200 lb.
Fold-down bike rack on 10" main rail tube - 250 lb.
Failure to acknowledge bike rack weight ratings may result in damage to the coach.

Bike racks and tire carriers may contain movable parts. Clean and/or lubricate periodically.
