Built for the larger, heavier and fat tire trikes as well as larger, longer hand cycles checkout the Easy Load Tray Systems: ELT-XL and ELT-XL3R .
The ELT-XL function is the same as the Easy Load Tray (ELT). It is the same 13 pieces except the Center Tube, Receiver Hitch Insert and Wheel Chocks are made of steel. The Center Tube made of steel increases the ELT-XL weight to ~62 pounds. The remaining 10 pieces are aluminum. Unlike the ELT the Wheel Channels and Ramps are ~5” wide to accommodate fat tires and the extreme wheel camber of some hand cycles.
The ELT-XL rotates to vertical on a 1/2” clevis pin but the safety” clevis pin remains a 3/8 vis pin. The safety pin arrangement is different from the ELT as it penetrates the Center Tube rather than fitting across the upper or lower service of the tube.
Basic usable space to carry a trike is ~40.5” front to back and the Wheel channels remain 63” long. Wheel Channels may be manipulated the same as the ELT to increase Left to Right width.

Note:
This item is not suitable for use with large motor homes due to the distance from the rear axle to the vehicle receiver hitch box.
The crank that you use to tighten the rack into the receiver doesn’t work. Leaving the rack loose and unsafe. Customer support does not respond. Not sure where to go from here this was a big purchase and I had it professionally assembled, now it is defective.
