Adapter with a Rise to Carry Wheelchair Carrier Higher Up  

Question:

Would I be able to use this tongue extension on a 1 1/4 receptacal and the upper 2inch receptacal for a power wheelchair carrier to get the carrier further up off the ground. Like a gooseneck adapter or would you happen to have one of those.

Expert Reply:

I do have some solutions for you but the Roadmaster adapter # RM-077-8 would not work because it is only rated for carrying accessories while flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome.

If your vehicle has a 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver opening then you could use # HT5R to get some extra height if your hitch is a Class I or II (max capacity 300 pounds but limited to tongue weight capacity of hitch). Keep in mind that the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. I have linked videos of both products for you.

If the tow vehicle has a 2 inch hitch receiver and the wheelchair carrier has a 1-1/4 inch shank then you can use # D210 with an adapter sleeve # HT02 in the receiver portion. This set up does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch.
