Platform bike racks are pretty heavy for the most part. That being said, the Thule DoubleTrack part # TH92BJ only weighs in around 32 lbs which is impressive, considering this is a high-quality, extremely sturdy, US-made platform bike rack.

This rack holds your bikes by the frame, tilts away for rear cargo access, and will work on your 1-1/4 hitch, as well as a class 2 hitch.

Additionally, this rack comes with both a hitch and bike locks, so you don't have to worry about adding them separately.
