We're excited to announce that the all-new Hitchswing Lite is now available.


The Hitchswing Lite is designed to be the lightest, most affordable, and strongest swing-away cargo carrier on the market. It allows you to easily carry any bike rack, cargo basket, or anything that mounts to a 2" hitch receiver. To access the back of your vehicle, simply pull the locking pin and swing your cargo out of the way. This light weight new design is reversible and can be mounted to either swing open to the passenger side or the driver side.

Standard Features:

Reversable Mounting - Can be installed to either swing open to the passenger side or the driver side.

Height Adjustable - The hitch mounting bracket can be flipped for additional clearance.

WedgeLock- Our WedgeLock will take all the wobble away. Once tightened, the Hitchgate X becomes part of the vehicle.

Pivot with Grade 8 bolt and Delrin washers- for serviceability, strength and smooth vibration free operation.

Latch Pin- Easy grip (even with gloves) is tethered to the base bar.

Polyurethane Latch Pin bushings- smooth fit and no vibration between arm and latch.

Arm capacity- 200 lbs.

Spring loaded locking pin – It will hold the swing arm in the open position.

Blasted and Powder Coated finish- to help protect against the elements.

Durable welded components- 20yrs of welding experience on display.

Warranty – Lifetime Structural Warranty and made in U.S.A. right here in Austin Texas.

**Hitch receiver locking pin NOT included

*Notice of maintenance required** - Periodic tightening of the pivot bolt with a torque wrench to at least 60-70lbs every few months is needed to prevent movement on the swing arm and add grease to the shaft of the bolt to prevent rust in snowy areas . Also, over time replacing the Delrin washers and T handle bushings if needed.

***Fitment Notes - 

Identify that you have at least 4 ½” from your hitch pin hole towards the front of your vehicle. Doing so will ensure that the Hitchswing will be able to engage its wedge lock design eliminating any wobble or play in your receiver that you may have. 

Factors that can result in the receiver tubing not fitting can be caused by: 

  • Receiver tubing has a plate on the back end of the receiver that restricts the hitchswing tubing from running back enough for the wedge lock to have room to engage or hitch pin holes to align.
  • Some model vehicles have a muffler in the rear that interferes with how far back the tubing is allowed to run. This will require the muffler or exhaust components to be relocated.
  • You want to make sure the face of your hitch receiver is at least flush with the outer most edge of your rear bumper. Not Receded anymore than 2.0" behind your bumper. 
  • Needs 3” of clearance from Hitch receiver to the bottom of rear door or tailgate* Swings out 180 Degrees*

**Notice of maintenance required** - Periodic tightening of the pivot bolt with a torque wrench to at least 60-70lbs every few months is needed to prevent movement on the swing arm. Also, over time replacing the Delrin washers and T handle bushings.
