The only two ladder mount-style bike racks we currently offer, including the Surco 2 Bike Carrier # SP501BR you were looking at, would have the wheels of the bikes parallel to the rungs on the ladder. We don't currently offer a bike rack rated for use on a trailer that would have the wheels perpendicular to the ladder.

If you instead want to switch to a hitch-mounted rack then that would open up some possibilities for other racks but would require your trailer to have a trailer hitch. If it doesn't then we have adjustable width trailer hitches for trailers. We'd just need to know the width between your frame beams to find the appropriate size for your needs. This would also open up the possibility to use other hitch mounted accessories like a cargo carrier.
