Well, hitch receivers with a 1\u00bc inch opening are not designed with the proper tongue weight capacity to support the total weight of the carrier and the asset it is holding. For this reason, it is vital that you are fully aware of your vehicle\u2019s limitations <em><strong>before<\/strong><\/em><strong> <\/strong>you choose a particular carrier or lift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, if you were to use your hitch-mounted carrier with a trailer hitch adapter, you are literally cutting your tongue weight capacity in half. For this reason, this combination should only be used on vehicles with stiff suspensions, such as full-size pickup trucks, truck-style SUVs, and large vans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hitch Class Ratings and Tongue Weight<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, cars and minivans have Class 1 or 2 hitches,\nwhile trucks and sports utility vehicles usually have Class 3, 4, or 5 hitches.\nKnowing your vehicle\u2019s tongue weight, hitch class, and rating is an essential\npart of safely using a wheelchair or scooter lift. Usually, such lifts require\nat least a Class 3 hitch rating. How do you find your vehicle\u2019s hitch class?\nSimply refer to the manufacturer label on the trailer hitch. If it is an old\nlift and the label is not clear, you can also measure the opening yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for tongue weight, see our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zorestowing.com\/blog\/a-brief-explanation-of-tongue-weight-tw\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"A Brief Explanation of Tongue Weight (TW) (opens in a new tab)\">A Brief Explanation of Tongue Weight (TW)<\/a>\u201d to learn what you need to know. Basically, tongue weight is the downward force that is applied onto a vehicle\u2019s trailer hitch. In terms of a wheelchair\/scooter lift, the tongue weight is measured by adding the total weight of the lift and the asset, together. Beware, an improper setup can lead to your carrier and asset bending downward toward the road and breaking off the trailer hitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refer to your vehicle\u2019s owners\u2019 manual for manufacturer\u2019s recommended tongue weight. If you cannot locate your manual, you can look up these values online, or you can adhere to the general rule of thumb, which is that your tongue weight should not exceed 10% of your gross trailer weight. See our blog, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zorestowing.com\/blog\/a-review-of-gross-vehicle-weight-ratings\/ \" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"A Review of Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (opens in a new tab)\">A Review of Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings<\/a>\u201d to learn how to measure your vehicle\u2019s gross weight rating, and how to apply it with your carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives and Tips<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from hitch classes, tongue weight, and gross weight\nratings, is also important to pay attention to the height of the hitch. Lower\nhitch heights can put your carrier at risk of scraping against sidewalks,\ncurbs, and driveways. To avoid this, be sure to install a hitch height adapter.\nIf you have not yet purchased a wheelchair\/scooter carrier, start by measuring\nyour wheelchair or scooter dimensions. Measure the length and width (from the\noutside tires), as well as the total weight of the asset, including the battery\nand any accessories (ramps, straps, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Indianapolis Towing Professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Zore\u2019s Towing at 317-247-8484<\/strong> for safe and affordable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zorestowing.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Indianapolis tow truck (opens in a new tab)\">Indianapolis tow truck<\/a> and roadside services you can trust.
