Compatibility

To fit a SKEP 117 to your vehicle, please follow these instructions :

  1. Towball: your vehicle must be fitted with a standard, compatible towball.
  2. Minimum clearance: a minimum clearance of 4 cm is required between the lower end of the tailgate or double doors and your towball to install the SKEP 117.
  3. Maximum load: the permissible vertical load (or "S" load) must be compatible with the combined weight of the SKEP 117, the bike carrier and the bicycles being transported. The "S" load of the hitch (indicated on a plate riveted to the hitch) must be taken into account to ensure that this limit is not exceeded.
  4. Bike carrier weight: approx. 15 kg for a towball-mounted bike carrier, to be added to the weight of the bikes and the SKEP 117 in the calculation.

By complying with these criteria, you can guarantee safe, vehicle-compliant installation.

Minimum clearance: a minimum clearance of 4 cm is required between the lower end of the tailgate or double doors and your towball to install the SKEP 117.

Questions About the SKEP Swivel Arm for Bike Racks

What is a swing arm?

A swivel arm is an accessory that attaches to your vehicle’s
tow ball and allows you to swivel your bike rack with
ly removing it. Unlike a fixed bike rack, it provides
full access to the tailgate or rear doors with a single motion.

Why choose the SKEP 117 swivel arm?

The SKEP 117 swivels 117°, an angle designed to provide full access to the trunk
even with bikes loaded. It can be mounted in 5 minutes
on any standard tow ball (including swan neck), supports
up to 80 kg (bike rack and bikes included), and is approved throughout
Europe.

What is the maximum load that the swivel arm can support?

Up to 80 kg of vertical load, including the bike rack and bikes; make sure your vehicle's "S" load rating allows for this.

Can I tow a trailer with the swivel arm installed?

Yes, just remove it (5 minutes) to restore the tow hitch to normal use
.
