Hey Jerald! The Atlas PowerLifts Bike Rack item # AT52GR weighs 143 lbs. It has a 250 lbs combined bike capacity, which allows it to work with significantly heavier bikes. The lift feature of the bike rack is powered by an internal battery.

The Atlas PowerLifts item # AT52GR weighs 143 lbs but it can be separated into three different components for easier setup and removal. The bike tray itself weighs 46 lbs, the lift mechanism weighs 90 lbs, and the mount that attaches to your vehicle's 2" hitch receiver weighs only 7 lbs.

The combined 250 lbs capacity of the Atlas PowerLifts item # AT52GR really makes it stand out amongst other bike racks. The tire trays fit tires up to 5.35" wide and wheel bases from 28" to 52" so you can also fit dirt backs on this rack.

The Atlas PowerLifts item # AT52GR internal battery does not require a connection to your vehicle so no wiring is necessary. The battery is designed to last 100 cycles of the ramp being used and takes only a couple hours to recharge.
