When bolted into place on the deck of a hitch cargo carrier like # C18151 or # C18100 the pointed tip of the adapter will be 11-1/2-inches above the mounting surface. This measurement is taken in a straight vertical direction above the carrier deck. The mounting bracket has overall dimensions of 8-1/4 x 2-inches.

I took these two measurements myself in our warehouse and I put both on the photo I prepared for you.

The real limiting factor in how many of these pairs of bike carriers you can install on any given carrier is the fit of the bikes themselves. Facing bikes in opposing directions can enable a closer fit. The kit comes with two pairs (4 total) wheel hoops to allow transporting two bikes.
