There is a bike rack you can use with the MaxxTow Ball Mount w/ 2" Accessory Receiver # MT70066 but the SportRack Bike Rack SR2901LR is not rated for use to be towed behind a trailer.
The only other option for a platform rack that fits a 2" receiver, is rated for use behind a trailer and has a weight capacity of 45 lbs per bike like the SportRack is the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack # S44FR. It has sliding wheel cradles to fit bikes of different sizes, can accommodate wheelbases of up to 52" and allows you to protect your investment with its included hitch lock and cable.
