This is Easy Load's basic tray system, designed to hold one tadpole-type trike, D-trike, or hand cycle on a standard 2\" receiver hitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELT is lightweight and easy to handle at roughly 36 pounds, since 10 of its 13 pieces are aluminum. It loads from either side thanks to ambidextrous wheel channels and two grip-taped ramps, so you can set it up to suit the way you park and load. Wheel chocks fitted with nylon straps and buckles secure both outer wheels, and a third strap secures the single wheel of the trike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray comes wired with running lights, brake lights, and turn signals, powered through either a flat 4-pin or round 7-blade connector to match your vehicle. When no trike is loaded, the tray rotates to vertical to stay out of the way while parked, held safely by a gravity lock and a 3\/8\" safety clevis pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour transporting vehicle's 2\" receiver hitch should sit at about 16\" of ground clearance (higher is fine). If it is lower, a riser is required, along with a second Hitch Tite to keep it from moving. Carry weight is limited to 85 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarries one tadpole trike, delta (D) trike, or handcycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum carry weight: 85 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTray weight: ~36 lb (mostly aluminum; steel receiver insert \u0026amp; wheel chocks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits a 2\" receiver hitch; ~16\" ground clearance recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWheel channels 63\" long and ~3\" wide; usable space ~36.5\" front to back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated running lights, brake lights \u0026amp; turn signals (4-pin flat or 7-blade round)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoads from either side; folds vertical when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProudly made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Easy Load","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52578456273028,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1405\/4276\/files\/TraysideRamps-1-1024x683.jpg?v=1785469793","url":"https:\/\/laidbackcycles.com\/products\/easy-load-tray-recumbent-trike-carrier-2-hitch","provider":"Laid Back Cycles Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
