View larger Make Your Bike Carrier Snow Sport Ready in Minutes The Thule 9033 Tram Hitch Ski Carrier is a ski and snowboard carrier that is designed to be combined with a wide range of popular rear-mounted Thule bike carriers to provide a fast and efficient hauling solution, without a need to remove your already attached bike carrier. It can be used with Thule 1-1/4" and 2" bicycle hitch carriers, including models 9031, 9030, 9029, 9027, 9026, 9025, 956, or 958. It is also compatible with the Thule Spare Me 2 Spare Tire Bike Carrier. The 9033 Tram Hitch has a variable carrying capacity, depending on the model of bike carrier that it is attached to: six pairs of skis, or four snowboards when used with a 2" hitch bike carrier; and four pairs of skis or two snowboards when used with a 1-1/4" carrier. Its over all weight-bearing capacity is 165 lbs. Durable construction, locking functionality, and easy to install. View larger In all applications, the Thule Tram Hitch Carrier utilizes a simple mounting procedure, consisting of upper and lower aligned attachment points where its frame makes contact with the bike carrier paired with it. Once assembled, the two upper tubular cross bars of the Tram Hitch are placed in the bike cradles built into the horizontal bike arms of a compatible bike carrier. The Spare Me 2 tire carrier has bike cradles and bike arms, as well, that provide this upper support. The rubberized straps of the bike carrier are then attached to the bike cradles, ensuring that the crossbars of the carrier do not move. The lower connection of the Tram Hitch to a bike carrier is provided by a simple to use, yet secure bolt and and knob system. When used with Thule compatible hitch bike carriers, the Hitch Tram carrier is secured to the central vertical base of that bike carrier with a non-scratch bracket. When used with the Spare Me 2 Tire Carrier, the Hitch Tram carrier is secured with bolts and knob, once the Spare Me 2's own connection to the vehicle is changed from a locking knob, to a bolt. Skis and snowboards are locked securely to the Thule Tram Hitch Carrier with the included Thule One-Key lock cylinders, while the Tram Hitch Carrier can be locked to the bike carrier using that carrier's included cable lock system along the bike arms. Additional locks can be purchased as necessary.

About Thule Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
