Swivel Module for Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit & Co.<\/h2>

A bicycle carrier is essential for many campers \u2013 after all, you want to have your own bicycle with you on vacation to be flexible and independent on the road. But especially with panel vans and motorhomes<\/strong>, a problem often arises: As soon as the bicycle carrier is mounted, the rear doors can no longer be opened<\/strong>. Even carriers with a tilting function often do not offer sufficient access to the cargo space. The solution – SWINGY! <\/p>

Fortunately, there is a clever solution: the SWINGY swivel module<\/strong> from the Polish manufacturer LEMET<\/strong>. With this stable and easy-to-install system, access to the trunk remains possible at all times \u2013 even with bicycles mounted. <\/p>

The Problem: Blocked Rear Doors<\/h2>

In vehicles such as the Fiat Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit<\/strong>, the bicycle carrier is usually mounted on the trailer hitch. This is practical because this position ensures a low loading height<\/strong> and a high support load<\/strong> \u2013 ideal for heavy e-bikes or multiple bicycles. However, in this position, the carrier usually blocks access to the rear doors<\/strong>, which makes everyday life with the van much more difficult. <\/p>

The Solution: the SWINGY Swivel Arm<\/h2>

There are various approaches to this problem \u2013 such as extensions of the trailer hitch<\/strong>, extendable bicycle carriers<\/strong> or laterally swiveling modules<\/strong>.
Several well-known manufacturers such as Thule, Memo-Europe, XIMPLIO, Liberco, Weih-Tec, LAS, Fabbri<\/strong> or LEMET<\/strong> offer corresponding systems.<\/p>

But one solution stands out in particular<\/strong>: the SWINGY swivel arm<\/strong> from the Polish manufacturer LEMET<\/strong>.<\/p>

The SWINGY is an intelligent, robust swivel module<\/strong> that makes it possible to swivel the entire bicycle carrier laterally away from the rear doors<\/strong>. This maintains full access to the trunk or rear garage<\/strong> \u2013 without having to dismantle the carrier or the bicycles. <\/p>

The system consists of two swivel arms with double-bearing hinges<\/strong> that move like a scissor mechanism<\/strong>.
This ingenious construction ensures:<\/p>
