Question:
Is the weight rating the same for the 2 bike and 4 bike versions? I have some heavier bikes I need to carry but all of the other racks have a lower rating for the bikes on the extension part.

Thanks for reaching out, Daniel!
The Benton Shifts&Grins Bike Rack has a 55 lb rating for all bikes both in the 2-Bike Version, part # B54FR, and the 4-Bike Version, part # B82FR.
This is different than the standard platform bike rack on the market and it's definitely a positive for people needing to carry multiple heavier bikes like yourself.
