Will this rack hold a three wheeled industrial type trike? And what type of hitch mount do I need?

Probably as it is large with the adapter, but, the whole assembly is VERY heavy, probably not something a normal sized person should attempt by themselves nor should it be put on a smaller vehicle. It can be adapted to 1-1/4" or 2" hitches with optional pieces. Overall VERY heavy and cumbersome.

The aluminum frame and panel seem strong and rigid. Post a picture of your trike here if you try it.

Yes it will. Just got back from a Colorado trip and the rack was a life saver! Just make sure the bikes do not exceed manufactures bike weight rating limit.

Go to the Hollywood web site and check out the mounting videos and the parts included list. This kit converts your HR100R rack so that it can carry a tadpole trike. The pieces will do you no good if you don't have the bike rack to begin with. The rack does fit into a receiver hitch and it will fit a Terratrike. I just transported my Catrike Explorer on a 450 mile trip, and it worked just fine.

I'm not sure as I don't tow with my hitch. I only use it to mount a bike rack.

No, not without significant modification (welding, drilling metal, b ending metal). It mounts on the rear axle of a 2-wheeler in place of training wheels. Want to push a trike? Use a broom, like my dad did for me on my Big Wheel in the 70's. Really.

If the tricycle has 2 front and 1 rear wheel like many recumbents, can't imagine it wouldn't hook up. With 2 rear wheels, it would depend on whether you something you can mount the hitch to near the center of the rear wheels.

Rev. Mike - My bike rack (a three bike model) is mounted to a Pro Series trailer hitch for the RAV4. See http://www.proseriestowing.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid;=1000&catID;=1035∂=51157. The distance from the pin securing the bike rack to the Upright bar is 12 3/4". The upright bar clearance to the tire cover is 3 1/2". It all works well and is a great bike rack. Jack L.

No, its built for two regular bikes and works fine ....don't think it work on a trike as there wouldn't be room for anything else.

I have a 26 inch Schwinn 3 wheel trike with a single post and it fits perfectly. If you have a standard single post it will fit fine.

Obviously I cannot promise anything, but if the bike has a traditional front brake (that pinches the rim) versus a disk front brake it should work. The rack mounts to the front forks using the mounting points also used for a traditional front brake.I hope this helps.

Hi! Unfortunately this rack will not fit on the bike you are referring to. Thanks.

Only if you have a trailer hitch for a 2" receiver. If you have a 1" hitch you might be able to get a 1" to 2" adapter from say Harbor Freight. This bike rack will not strap or hook to your vehicle any other way.....Hope this helped. John

This product is not a bike rack, it only provides a hitch option if you have a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule or Yakima.

It may, but it'll rattle some as it is not a perfect fit. I've gotten used to it as I had no choice, but in the future I would go with a bike rack that's the same size as the hitch.

There is a very wide range that the clamp will hold. I personally do not own a tri bike, but I don't see any way that it wouldn't adjust wide enough

Hey Daniel, this rack will work for your car but it is not recommended for your bike. Because the switchblade is so heavy, a hitch rack will be the only to support it. -ea
