Can a Folding Shank be Added to Any Brand Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier

Question

Question:

I have a 2-inch wire basket for my truck but it does not fold-up like the ones you have on your website. Do you sell the 2-inch metal bracket that would allow a fixed wire basket to convert to a foldable type?
