Yakima HangOver hitch receiver bike rack (6 bikes) 8002485

The Yakima HangOver 6 is an innovative tilting carrier designed for use with pickups but, subject to tow bar nose weight, it can also be angled for use with class N1 4x4s and medium and large vans.

A loaded HangOver 6 will impose unusually large forces on a tow bar system, especially if it's not mounted vertically; for this reason it may not be fitted to trailers, trailer tents or RVs / motor homes; the distance from the rear wheels to the hitch receiver pin-hole will be too great.

Important fitting information: It fits US and Australia style 2" hitch receivers only; it doesn't work with UK 50mm tow balls.

Other features and specifications:

• It takes up to 6 bikes, up to 17kg per bike
• It's only for bikes with suspension forks
• Fits fat bikes within the weight limit
• There are 2 mast height positions for improved ground clearance and ease of loading
• And there are 2 mast angles to avoid bike-tyre contact with your vehicle; keep the HangOver 4 upright if you can, to reduce the loading on the hitch receiver tow bar
• A foot-operated tilt mechanism changes the rack position for easy loading and unloading
• It tilts down and out of the way for easy rear-of-vehicle access
• The bikes are supported by their suspension fork crowns
• There's soft padding to protects the forks' finish
• Rotating wheel cups accommodate bikes with various wheelbases
• A HitchLock is included for extra safety and basic security and should always be used; you should add your own bike lock to the integrated lock loop for greater bike security, especially when parked up
• This 6 bike version is NOT compatible with the Yakima BackSwing; the combined rig would be much too heavy
• There's even a built-in bottle opener!

This rack tilts far enough to open the tailgate on vehicles except for those with vertical tailgates.

This rack only fits US style 2" hitch receivers (often defined as Class III or Class IV). 2" hitch receivers can only be fitted to category N1 vehicles, usually only pickups, some large 4x4s and medium and large vans. You can't use this size of hitch receiver on category M1 vehicles, which includes normal cars and SUVs. You can check your vehicle classification on the DVLA website.

It's important that you don't exceed the weight limit of your hitch; add up the weight of your bikes plus the weight of the HangOver 6 (33.1kg).

It's important you don't exceed the weight capabilities of your hitch; a tongue weight rating of at least 113.5 kg (250 lbs) is recommended for this rack.

Before you order a Yakima HangOver 6 it's really important to check that the type and position of your 2" hitch receiver is suitable. Click here for the vehicle-specific measurements you'll need to check.

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
