Kuat tells us that the maximum single bike weight for their # KU74FR Transfer Bike Rack is 40 lbs, plus the wheel cradles only accommodate tires up to 3 inches wide, while fat bikes usually have tires at least 3-3/4 inches wide, so the Transfer wouldn't be a good choice.

I'd recommend you go with the Thule Pro XTR, part # TH69TX. The T2 handles bikes up to 60 lbs apiece, and is specifically designed for fat bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide. The rack can be setup to carry 2 or 4 bikes as needed and can tilt rearward away from the vehicle with bikes loaded for access to the vehicle's cargo area. The rack comes with locks for the hitch and the bikes.

I've linked you to a product description video featuring the Thule T2 Classic.
