The SportRack Escape is a convenient, hitch-mounted four-bike carrier that keeps bikes safe and secure when traveling. Padded cradles prevent marring and help prevent bike-to-bike contact. Includes a hitch-ball mount so you can tow up to 2,000 lb. (200 lb. tongue weight) while hauling your bikes (ball not included). Mounts to any 2" receiver hitch. Instructions included.
(FYI 2000lb = 900kg)

It's an interesting concept.
Not sure I'd use it though. 2000lb is approx. 900kg so would only be suitable for small towables anyway.
Certainly nothing like an Expanda.

The further away from the hitch receiver the towball is would have an adverse effect on weight transfers, stability etc...
