Turn your cargo or utility trailer tongue jack into a solid bike-carrier mounting point. The Lippert BikeBase Tongue Adapter clamps directly to the tongue tube, giving you a stable base for a BikeWing or Jack-It carrier without drilling or permanent modification.
Tow vehicles and RVs run out of hitch real estate fast. If your receiver is taken by a weight-distribution hitch, sway bar, or cargo basket, the tongue of your cargo or utility trailer is often the best available mounting point -- and the Lippert BikeBase Tongue Adapter was built exactly for that scenario.
The adjustable clamping brackets grip tongue tubes from 2 to 4 inches wide, covering the vast majority of utility, cargo, and small flatbed trailers on the market. Once clamped and secured with the included hardware, the adapter provides the standard mounting interface used by Lippert's BikeWing and Jack-It carriers.
Brackets adjust to fit tongue tubes from 2 in. to 4 in. wide -- no welding or drilling required for a secure fit.
Rated to support up to 80 lbs., enough for most BikeWing or Jack-It configurations carrying one or two bikes.
Heavy-gauge steel construction with a rust-resistant powder-coated finish stands up to road grime, rain, and UV exposure.
Ships with the tongue adapter bracket and all mounting hardware needed for installation -- no trips to the hardware store.
This adapter is specifically designed to work with two Lippert carrier systems:
The BikeWing and Jack-It carriers are sold separately and are not included with this adapter.
Installation is straightforward and tool-minimal. The clamping bracket wraps around the tongue tube and is secured with the provided hardware. The adapter is designed to be installed and removed without permanent modification to your trailer.
