Swagman E-Spec Pro Bike Rack S45SR - Distance From Hitch Pin Hole To Wheel Trays  

Updated 03/05/2026 | Published 02/06/2026

Question:

What is the distance from the pin hole to center of first rack? Swagman E-Spec pro. I have a ladder on back of 5th wheel I need to clear. Bikes weigh 65 pounds each with 4 inch x 20 inch tires. Need to carry 2 of these E Bikes. 5th wheel is a 2026 Jayco Eagle 321 RSTS with max 300 pound tongue weight on hitch in back of 5th wheel. Also thet are step through bikes. Thx Don

Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. For the Swagman E-Spec Pro Bike Rack # S45SR the distance from the center of the pin hole to the closest part of the rack is 10". From the pin hole to the center of the nearest wheel tray is approximately 12-3/4".

Will that be enough to clear your ladder? What kind of bikes do you have?

Since they are step-thru frames you may need a few adapter bars like part # S57FR.

Hey Don, did the 10-inch clearance from the pin hole give you enough space to clear the ladder on your Jayco Eagle? It’d be great to know if that setup worked with your step-through e-bikes. Your update could help others trying to fit the same rack on a 5th wheel.

@JesseM No it was not enough to clear. I went with the Cravot Cyberrack E2 with 18" from center of rack to pin hole.
