Is this strong enough for highway speeds?

Yes definitely!!! I drive avg 60mph with my 8ft flagpole in it with a 3x5 flag!

I would think so as it's pretty heavy duty. My concern though would be striking power lines with the flag pole. Not a good idea...
776633
Anything under 60mph it should be fine. Otherwise you can always reinforce the welds yourself.

That would depend on a number of factors about your intended usages that are unknown to me and I therefore have to answer: maybe. I use my hitch mount while parked for a cellular booster antenna and/or flagpole. It works fine for my application. It is built sturdy.

Does fine on the highway. Just don't do what I did. I fold the sections up but for got to clip it. One set of hinges broke when it unfolded at about 40 mph and I can not find replacements. :(

I have used it to connect a hitch/haul basket for carrying light loads, under 900 pounds, as that is the hitch rating on my car. Works fine.

Unfortunately, it is not strong, but it's enough for me I think. Hope that helps.

Not sure of exact speed rating. I have them on a small boat trailer and only travel locally. I wouldn't hesitate using these within normal weight range at highway speeds though.

No. Per the manufacturers guidance the weight limit is 150 lbs. Anything beyond that could be on a highway to the danger zone.

Possably, its ment for a car, and has been on my truck of my 2003 crown vic.. It holds up at 110 mph. So it should be good in your house.. The signal is sometimes sketchy though.

I would have to say no. On the highway it blows around because it doesn't fold up enough to sit securely. Anything over 25mph is an issue.

You know... I'm not sure but personally I don't think it could cope with high speeds and much highway driving. Remember it has bike type tires. It does a great job with my bicycle but for a motorcycle, unless you carry spare tires and tubes, I'm not sure I'd trust it for distance travel. Hope that helps!

If your rack is placed on your automobile securely there should be no problem driving at freeway speeds. Check at Yakima website for correct rack for your auto. Also check YouTube for proper installation. Thanks,Leo.

I bought this for my 8 yr old granddaughter. I have ridden it on pavement (185#) and it will do ok. Off-road it barely Will move with my weight. It does well under 150#.

It's not for highway use, but would work on a small yard trailer. Says Load Range 8 at 22PSI. Couldn't see a rating in lbs.

If you can anchor it in a way that it won't slide back while at high speeds you should be good. It also has a rubber like bottom that will keep it from sliding as well. There are plenty of tie down loops all around it.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

Hey there! 200 mps is pretty fast lol, that would be about 720,000 MPH. ;) No, but in all seriousness, I've taken it up to about 90 MPH on a 9 hour road trip and it held up like a champ. I personally secure it with some rope/twine to a fixed part of the car on the top ball joint as insurance. Would recommend you do this practice as well!

Yes it is strong enough. I would check the connections when it comes in as I did get a couple that were loose. I have 9 of these. Also we have just sprayed and wiped down the connection pieces of the bars with WD40. They get a little sticky at times.
