For many, traveling with a panel van or transporter is an adventure where comfort and functionality are very important. Especially when it comes to transporting bicycles, vehicle owners often face a problem:
Why a Swing Arm is the Ideal Solution
A swing arm for bike racks allows the rack to be effortlessly swung away from the rear doors. This is particularly practical for vans and panel vans with barn doors, but also for vehicles with tailgates. The mechanism provides unobstructed access to the boot without the need to remove bikes or the rack.
Benefits at a glance:
- Easy Access: The swing mechanism ensures that the rear doors or tailgate can be opened without any problems.
- Time-Saving: No tedious removal or readjustment of the rack – ideal for frequent boot use.
- Universal Compatibility: Swing arms like the SWINGY by LEMET fit almost any towbar with a flange towball.

Technical Highlights of the SWINGY Swing Module
The SWINGY Swing Module impresses with its universality and easy installation. It is equipped with a universal hole pattern and is suitable for both 2-hole and 4-hole flange towbars. Thanks to its robust construction from powder-coated steel, the module is durable and can support up to 90 kg.
Installation:
- The existing tow bracket is unscrewed, and the swing module is mounted in place of the ball.
- The bike rack is then secured to the new mounting plate of the swing arm.
- The two-swing-arm construction ensures even load distribution and reduces the strain on the towbar.
Flexibility:
The swing module allows the arms to extend both to the left and to the right. This ensures the bike rack always remains centered behind the vehicle, and access remains convenient – regardless of the side.

While many bike racks offer a folding function, these often reach their limits with transporters and panel vans. A swing module like the SWINGY offers clear advantages over other systems:
- It is universally applicable, while many alternatives are vehicle-specific.
- No additional mounting kits or adjustments necessary.
- More cost-effective than vehicle-specific swing mechanisms.
