I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, I confirmed with my contact at Yakima that they do not make fat-tire cradles for the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y02445. The only other option for transporting your fat bikes is to purchase a rack that has cradles that are wide enough to fit your 4-1/2 inch wide tires.
While this information may be understandable frustrating to hear, we do have some great bike racks that can carry 2 electric fat-tire bikes. For a great option, I recommend the Saris Freedom for Fat Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # SA4412B-FB. The Saris Freedom comes with the same 60-pound per-bike weight capacity as the HoldUp. In addition, the Saris Freedom comes with soft rubber cradles that adjust independently along the upright masts to hold bicycles of various shapes and sizes. This is a great feature because it eliminates the need for a bike frame adapter bar for bikes that are alternative frame styles, women's bikes, step-throughs, or children's bikes. The Saris Freedom will accommodate fat-tire bikes up to 5 inches wide.
