Will this be strong enough for a tandem?

I honestly don't know, I think you would need 2 of them, one for the front and one for the back on a trailer or it would bounce around a lot. If you had 2, I wouldn't see a problem

the product seem very well made I would not be afraid to put a tandem on it. With that said I also do not know the manufacture specs.

Although....you really do need two per side with a tandem... Haven't tried it with my single, but I imagine it may break then. Bought four for a tandem, have all of them intact after several months of at least once a week trips on the river.

The rack is very sturdy and well-made. As long as you balance the load, you should be OK. I recommend the rack and would buy again if I had the need.

No I don't think it is strong enough to add anything. I'm only keeping it as a back up. Very cheap piece of equipment.

It does seem pretty strong. You just need to be sure that the bottom is fully extended.

no i think 1 could provide enough lift but you wont be able to completely lift the wheels off the groung.

I doubt it will hold up much weight at all. Because of the receivers design it does not take very much weight to pull the receiver down. I have experience this and do not recommend using this for more than one bike.

Might be a little tougher with tandem axles. However, we do not have a single axle to compare too. We have the tandem axle trailer and love it. We have never had a problem with moving or positioning it. We pull it with a Suzuki Kind Quad.

I'm not sure, I guess it would not be as strong. You should ask the manufacturer to be sure.

Unsure of what you are asking, it will handle a good amount of weight as long as that weight is balanced.

Too weak. I originally bought it for a lighter load and then gave them to my son, who tried to use them to haul his one-person kayak, and they were marginal at best. He ended up buying a Thule rack (which can also be locked). Hope this helps.

I use it with a spotting scope (about 3#) and it is plenty strong enough. The head controls are a little more challenging to be steady but it is suppose to be a lightweight compact stand.

It is definitely strong enough, and it provides adequate clearance for bikes once it is lifted. The challenge would be getting the object on the platform. The skid sits about 4.5 inches off the ground in resting position. I'm thinking that if you had something heavy and wider than a bike, it might be unstable. I hope that helps.

I think the frame would be strong enough, and the forward weight adequate to counter the weight added at the rear, but you'd likely have to have it welded on as the pre-drilled holes and width of frame rails probably would not line up. Remember that the 2 secondary receivers have to be welded on anyway, so you may as well have the welder(s) do the whole thing. It should work though, and other than the massive weight of the thing, I am completely satisfied with mine. I put on mine an 800# Concours 14 and pull a 3500# pop-up trailer with 400# tongue weight. No probs.

I have two answers. Yes, it would be strong enough because it has both some sticky adhesive type thing and a suction cup, but I would not trust it over time on your bike, that just makes me nervous.

I haven't tested it to that extent, but have hoisted a 60lb Kyak and a 70lb tree stand with it no problem so I think it would be sufficent. May want to double it just in case.

I doubt it would be strong enough for that. Handles screws well but bolts might require too much torque imo.
