Government cutbacks led Allen, a Harvard-trained physicist, to transform his garage hobby into a new industry. A cycling enthusiast, inventor, and family man, Allen had a personal need for a bike-carrying device. On weekends, he would take his sons and wife to Cape Cod or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. What proved difficult time and again was the transport of his family's bicycles. Rather than fight through inconvenience with twine and a dinged car, Allen sought an answer for himself as well as a market in which he foresaw major growth possibilities. Always a pathfinder, Allen took to work in his Lincoln, Massachusetts garage in search of a more efficient way to transport bikes. Drafting designs during the day and constructing them throughout the night, he put together a model made of electrical conduit, metal strapping, and fire hose casings (for padding). At first, the Allens tested the prototype on weekend excursions. Finding the first trunk-mounted rack to be a success, Dick started Allen Bike Racks. Dealer acceptance came quickly, and by 1971 Allen Bike Racks were sold nationally through a number of major bicycle distributors. Today, the company owns over three-dozen patents and offers a versatile product line of bike racks while Dick's son Alex now owns and operates the business. What started out as a small garage run operation now operates three warehouses nationally, two factories abroad, and has products sold in more than a dozen countries around the world.Manufacturer's Warranty Lifetime warranty Product Description Deluxe 4-Bike Hitch Mounted Carrier.

Review: Great bike rack, especially for the money - I have had this rack for just a couple of weeks but I have traveled nearly 1000 miles with it already. This is my first bike rack that attaches to a hitch but I have a few friends that have one that I can compare it to. First of all, it took about 5 minutes to bolt together by looking at the picture on the front of the box. It then took just a few more minutes to attach it to the hitch with the "no sway" bolt that was included. A good size socket wrench is the easiest and best way to get it good and snug. Compared to other hitch racks, I immediately noticed there was nearly no sway at all on the hitch. The pins that hold the arms up and the main post from the hitch fit easily and snug. I like the unusual safety pins that keep the larger pins from sliding out. Because the larger pins fit is so snug, the safety pins are nearly unnecessary...no fear of the pins coming out. The pins are easy to grip and remove when you want to lower the arms that the bikes fit on or the main post coming up from the hitch. The main post lowers slowly and easily with or without a bike on the rack to gain access to the back of your car. We had my sisters dog in the back of our car on our way to N.C. So we had to access it regularly to let her out and it was a lot easier than I expected. Even though it fits 4 bikes, I have only had one bike on there so far. It was very easy to secure to the arms with the 4 holders/straps. It appears that there is adequate room to secure 4 bikes...aboutmthensame as other racks. Compared to my sisters bike rack where you have to use big metal clamps and screw them down, this is much easier. Also, on my sisters rack, if you want to use the back holders, you have to remove the covers on all the others. On this one you don't have to do that. I like to keep my bike in the holder closest to the car so my bike isn't hanging out there. The only down side on this rack after looking at some in a bike shop the other day is that it isn't quite as cool looking as some of the other name brand racks. That being said, those cooler looking racks were all 3 to 5 times more expensive than this rack. I have absolutely no regrets buying this rack and high recommend it. I have the utmost confidence that this rack will take care of my GF Superfly just fine!
Review: Excellent deal for the price paid - Okay, so I wanted a Thule or Yakima carrier, but as I'm only a casual biker and a college student, I really couldn't justify the expense. After a lot of research on different carriers, I opted to get this one. I use this carrier to take 3 (and sometimes 4) bikes from Maryland up to Connecticut and back. The rack is surprisingly sturdy and doesn't budge. I also bought a 10ft cable to wrap my bikes and help prevent sway or theft. After reading some other reviewers' comments, I fully understand what some of those cons are with this rack. I have a 2-inch receiver with 5/8" holes for my pins. This rack has 3/8" holes. If you use your own locking pins (as I do to prevent theft of the rack), you're required to use a 3/8" pin in a 5/8" hole which means that whatever's attached to that hitch is going to rock because of that gap. The pin that comes with this hitch does not have a locking mechanism. Instead it's a 3/8" screw/pin with an upper part that's 5/8". When you attach the pin and tighten it to your 2-inch receiver using a wrench, you're pressing that 5/8" segment firmly against that 3/8" hole in the rack preventing it from moving a millimeter. The downside is that as it does not have a locking mechanism, it's entirely possible that any individual with a couple wrenches can come along and steal your entire bike rack. In addition, connecting and disconnecting your rack with a couple of wrenches is inconvenient in the extreme. So my solution was to use a 3/8" locking pin. Without any modification, the rack will shake and be completely unstable. However, I purchased a 5/8" washer (a pack of 3 cost me 68 cents at Home Depot) and inserted in the tiny gap between my receiver and the insertion rod of the carrier (not along the sides, but at the top where there was more space). I used a small hammer to gently lodge it in there, just allowing a tiny sliver of the washer hole to be visible. I immediately tested it out and the rock was minimal, and certainly dramatically less pronounced. I placed three bikes on my carrier and drove a couple hours into West Virginia at a variety of speeds and could not see a single shake or tremor. This carrier was rock solid. Then to remove the carrier and the washer, I just used a regular key or handy flat head screw driver and inserted the business end into that tiny sliver of space visible on the washer and gently tugged. It came out without any fuss. It can be the slightest bit inconvenient if I'm nitpicking, but for the price, I'm more than happy with my decision and what little effort at modification is required of me. If you have the tools, you could drill a 5/8" hole through the 3/8" hole on the rack, and then just use a 5/8" locking pin. But if you don't know how to do that, or can't be bothered, my above suggestion is a really quick and cheap fix. Regarding the horizontal support beams of the bike, they seem to be perfectly strong enough to handle the task. I've only carried adult hybrid bikes (17-19"), but I've had no problem doing so. I am very happy with my purchase, and even though I really love the look and functionality of a Thule, I just can't afford that right now. Thule's are much better designed with swing arms that allow you to easily shift your bikes down, or out and around to the side of the vehicle allowing you access to the rear gate of your vehicle. But if you don't want to spend that kind of money, this is a solid no frills rack that gives great performance and feels surprisingly durable, given its low price tag. I would strongly recommend this to a casual or occasional cycler. For a road warrior, or someone who needs more convenience and bells and whistles, don't be cheap. Remember that you get what you pay for! Cheers!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the distance between the two carry arms (the ends of the arms)?**
A: On the current version (2016 and newer) hitch racks, the carry arms are 11.5" apart on center.  This translates to an outside dimension of approximately 13"

**Q: What's the best way to lock bikes to this rack?  I've never used a hitch rack before.**
A: Get a long cable lock, and run it through the safety chain anchor points on your hitch, and through the frames and any quick release wheels. Alternatively, a reasonably thick (read:hard to cut) coated chain padlocked to the hitch and bikes in the same fashion.

**Q: how do you put a womens bike on this rack?**
A: The brackets that the straps are attached to rotate around the rack arms, making it fairly easy once you figure out the best position.  I actually had 3 women's bikes on the rack with no problems.  The straps were on the diagonal bar and the vertical bar below the seat and it was very tight, no movement at all.  No issues with women's bikes at all here.

**Q: what is the pin size**
A: This rack has a 1/2" hole for the pin. Lots of hitches have 5/8" holes/pins. You can use the "no-wobble" pin that they include (which is partly 1/2" and partly 5/8"), but then you need tools to put on/take off which is annoying. If you want to use an after-market key-locking trailer pin, you will likely have to drill out this bike rack's pin hole to 5/8" first. Not a great design choice in my opinion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ great item, right out of the box
*by M***N on July 2, 2013*

The first thing I noticed when it was delivered was, "wow, this box is wicked heavy". When I took the rack out of the box, right away I could tell it was a well made, quality product. It is contructed out of heavy duty boxed steel with thick welds. It was easy to put the upper half together with the lower half by installing two bolts. It comes with a 'no wobble' hitch pin; which is a slightly thicker 3/8" bolt with a locking nut. Kind of a pain, because I am used to using a through bolt with a cotter pin to lock up my hitch; so having a bolt/nut is a slight inconvenience for needing a wrench to hitch it up...but it is very secure once installed. 5 stars for the price and heavy duty construction, you're not going to find anything in this price range with better quality. We carry two kids bikes and two adult bikes with no trouble, nice and secure. There are no locks, but we use it mostly right in town going back and forth to the park. Once again, big pionts to Amazon for an amazing delivery...ordered Saturday afternoon, in my driveway on Monday morning. ***Update*** July 10, 2013 I felt like I had to update after using this rack to take the kids bikes to the park over the holiday weekend. As I stated earlier, with the no-wobble bolt properly installed the rack is very secure. The problem came with the safety bails that latch over the pins that keep the rack upright. There is no traditional cotter-type pin, instead there is a wire bail attached to a braided metal rope...and the bail simply wraps around the rack and clips over the end of the pin going through the rack, and locks into a detent on the pin. But it does not lock securely and had come unclipped by the time we got to our destination; which was only a few miles. With that said, the pin was still secure because the weight of the rack holds it in place, but I would be nervous on a long trip that vibration could indeed allow the pin to wiggle out, causing the rack to swing down while I'm driving down the road. I will correct this myself by getting a more traditional pin that will lock onto the detent without relying on the rather cheaply made bail system. The second complaint would be the swing-down system itself. While the pin can be pulled and the rack can swing down to allow access through the tailgate with the rack loaded...the rack is heavy without the bikes, and with the bikes it is obviously much heavier, and now very ungainly to manage. I am a large 6' 2" man, and could not hold the rack up with one hand, while trying to wiggle the bolt through 4 holes to pin the rack back up with the other. I needed my wife to assist in holding the rack up, and then slowly rocking the rack in a figure 8 motion in order to get all four holes to line up right so the pin would slide all the way through. She would never be able to do it on her own, and after witnessing my difficulty, wont even attempt it. With all of that said, I will take back one star for the rather ineffective safety bail that will have to be replaced with something after-market or home-made that will be more reliable. As for the difficulty of actuating the rack loaded with bikes, not a flaw per-se; just difficult, and will be corrected by taking the bikes down before locking the pin back into place. Still a great system for the price....just wanted everyone to know what my experience was.
