Expert Reply:
No, there is not Jeff. The highest capacity swing away adapter we have is the Swagman Swivel Hitch Extender item # S86SR. It tops out at 300 lbs. The rest like the Kuat Pivot item # PVP20B max out at 250 lbs.
Please note that all hitch extenders/adapters like item # S86SR reduce a hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50%.
