Tow bar mounted bike racks

Has anyone got any experience with tow bar mounted bike racks that tilt. I would like to be able to open the back doors of a fiat ducato. At the moment we have a door mounted fiamma which is a bit high up!
 
we have a maxxraxx towbar mounted carrier it carries four bikes and you can tilt it down without removing bikes to open tailgate can,t fault it
 
We've got a thule ride on rack that fits on the tow ball of our Tribute. Yes it tilts but you can't open the back door as the mechanism that fits on the ball is quite large and square and obstructs the bottom of the door. It would probably be OK on a hatch back car. It is quite a heavy rack as its designed for electric bikes which are heavy, other makes may be OK, depending how high the tow bar is in relation to the back door. Also the handle bars do rub against the back door, but we might be able to adjust this, haven't had chance to fiddle with it yet.
This is our rack

I have one that clamps on the ball, takes seconds to fit. I got it from Towsure.
 
help please my Spanish friend has asked me if any one has used Towtal in the Uk he is looking for a motor scooter rack and dose not know witch one to get the last one he got from Germany never turned up that he paid for. Thanks
 
Thanks but this is for a motor scooter but thanks for trying to help.
 
We use Thule, if still not enough room, it doesnt take long to loosen fitting bolt.
It all depends what car/room you have.
 
I also have a Maxxraxx.
I have tried several others over the years but this is the Rolls Royce of bike racks, cant fault it, it even packs up small when not in use
