--------------------------------------------------
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-ed 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.

In all applications, the Thule Tram Hitch Carrier utilizes a
simple ing 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 ally and through
acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in
providing transport solutions for an active life.
