Technically you could tilt the Curt Premium 5 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches Item # C18065 with the bikes loaded. However, it will be a challenge to do so because the pin that needs to come out to tilt the rack is at the center mast and not all that easy to get to if the rack is loaded. Also it can be difficult to raise or lower the rack when loaded due to the weight of the bikes. This is going to be the case for any of the 5-bike racks.
