Vehicle Hitch information
All outside lift models require the vehicle have a hitch installed. The compatible hitch class is stated on the product detail page for each lift.
All outside lifts will work with either a Class II or Class III hitch, although you may require a hitch adaptor on certain models. You can select the appropriate hitch adaptor during the product customization process.
Spinlife also carries three lift models that will work with a Class I hitch.
Measure the width and height of your hitch receiver. The most common dimensions are:
The hitch class should also be marked somewhere on your hitch.
* Class I and II hitch receivers have the same dimensions but are NOT interchangeable. Class I hitches have a lower weight capacity and more shallow receiver, incompatible with longer Class II shanks.
| Hitch Class | Dimensions of Opening | Common Vehicles |
Weight Capacity (weight of lift & mobility device) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class I | 1.25 x 1.25" | Sub-Compact, Compact & Mid-Size | 200 lbs |
| Class II | 1.25 x 1.25" | Mid-Size Cars, Pickups, SUVs, Mini-Vans | 300 lbs |
| Class III | 2 x 2" | Mid-Size Cars, Pickups, SUVs, Mini-Vans | 500 lbs |
Need a hitch for an outside lift but not sure which hitch will work on your car? We recommend you use U-Haul's handy hitch selection tool to find the hitch options available for your vehicle.
