A follow-up to using the Yakima Swing arm accessory: Can it be used with the Thule ReVert Vertical Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2inch Hitches - Tilting? Our U-Haul installed hitch receiver is rated for 675 lbs. Thank you

Hey Julian, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you'll be able to use the Yakima BackSwing # Y02483 with the Thule ReVert Vertical Bike Rack # TH73VA.

Thule may not be too keen on using a different brand swing-away adapter with their bike rack, but Yakima has verified that their version, the HangOver # Y02484, will work just fine with the BackSwing so you'll be good to go!

What type of biking do you normally do?
