Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Swing Away

6 min read

The U-4047S adds the convenience of the Hornet Outdoors Swing Away Design to our Standard 4047 UTV Hitch Spare Tire Mount. Simply pull the Swing-Away Hitch Joint’s standard 5/8″ hitch pin and the entire Spare Tire Mounting Post pivots away from the bed of your UTV so you can access the tailgate. All carrier accessories are à la carte to fully customize your setup. See related products below for tire mount, camera mount, table, jerry can mount, hi-lift mount, etc.. This hitch extender converts your existing bike rack or hitch accessory into a swing-away rack. It rotates out 90 degrees to provide easy access to the rear of your vehicle.

Why other manufacturers haven’t caught onto the modularity design is beside me. What I love the most about the adventure carrier is how versatile it can be. This bumper allows you to at any time change that setup up to what is actually important or needed. Unlike others where you spend a months salary or more on a bumper that well you’re just stuck with your decision and can’t do anything about it without permanently removing or adding. I love the fact that I can have my dual Jerry holder and fold down table when I’m going out for a weekend or a week then when I get home I can shed all that.

I’m talking with a local fabricator who has built several similar tire carriers. He is looking at the design to see if it can be built to still allow partial function of the backup camera, and also allow view of the license plate. He has done excellent work for me before, so if he thinks he can do it, I’ll have him build me one. 4.5″ of clearance required from center of hitch pin hole rearward for it to be compliant with wedge lock system.

Easier on all the components, and easier to manage opening and closing the carrier. As long as the swing and ladder are on opposite sides of the vehicle it should not be a problem. You can’t run a hatch ladder and a swing on the same side however. It really depends on the vehicle model of bumper you are attaching this carrier to. In our experience it usually does not however on most vehicles. You just have to give it a push back instead of lifting it up.

Let me say that the price is justified in my opinion. Between the customer service before and after the sale as well as the overall quality of this piece, I am very impressed. This thing is a beast and comes in at around 55 lbs. To test it after assembly and installation I sat on it just to see what I could expect. My generator fully fueled comes in at 248lbs and after some figuring and planning, I got it mounted up. The swing to 90° allows me full access to the cargo area through my two rear doors with no issues, which is precisely what I was looking for.

Hitchgate SoloXL UHG32206 is a mirror image of the Solo but is 5″ wider.

I purchased a 2017 Toyota Sienna and my first step is to have a hitch receiver installed.

I purchased this unit to carry my 7kw generator to and from the job site. Most other options out there weren’t weight-rated for what I needed.

The weight of my setup is 145 lbs with tire and the mount assembly. I wanted to double check this because I am planning on mounting a gas tank to the backside along with a trasharoo on the front. However, Id imagine that your spare tire will not weigh the same as mine unless your running 31″ tires on it. What is the clearance from the back of the adventure carrier to the hatch?
