Weight Capacity of the Yakima Hold Up 4 Bike Rack

Question:

Hi, I was thinking about buying this rack and wondered about the load limit of the fourtimer? I downloaded the Fourtimer user manual and on the last page it lists important load limits Here is exactly what it says: Fourtimer limited to four bikes. Maximum bike weight 45lbs/bike total maximum load 90 lbs. Maximum wheel base 48 Is this accurate, the bike rack only holds 90lbs of bikes? My two kids bikes and my small womens bike weighs that, so that means i can only have 3 smaller bikes on the rack and not a fourth? This doesnt seem right as other 4 bike racks hold 120lbs + Thanks for your help.
