Does it swing away 180deg from the rear so that the box faces fully forward? (Photo shows only 90deg swing.)

It swings open to form an "L" SHAPE. It opens past 90 a bit. My hatch openopens with plenty of room to spare. Toyota 4runner.

Yes, it can fold out flat to 180 degrees. Please read recent reviews. Evidently there have been some with defective pins that fail early. Mine arrived with a defective pin.

There is an optional little plastic stop that goes on the top and bottom. This is designed to limit the direction but if you don't put it in, it can swing freely in both directions. The only thing you'd have to be aware of is additional door trim that might get in the way.

Yes, it will invert to a full 180*, all though you will need the handrails to assist in returning to the upright position. I recommend using a spotter to assure you can safely return to full upright.

Yes it can. The extended piece seen on the left in the photo can be eliminated simply by using a shorter beam. I am using my extra length by attaching a rope swing.

It only swings to the side. But there is another way to mount it for portability. If you have a bench vice, the Bikehand can be mounted to a short piece of 2'x4', then clamped into the vice & removed when not in use.

Swings and stays open, BUT DOES NOT LAY FLAT! MORE THAN 90 DEGREES! BUT LESS THAN 180 DEGREES. Sorry

The metal frame had s-hooks that the old swing was hanging on. We figured out the seat height which is chair height. The swing hangs with the back at a slight slant. Good luck. We love our swing and I hope this helped.

The legs do tend to swing a bit. When I carry it to my son or husband i have them make sure the legs our locked outward before I set it down.

Because it has the ability to open on both sides (a big plus) it doesn't open to a 90 degree angle which other boxes do. However, it does open to at least a 45 degree angle or more than 6 inches. The elbow mechanism might be stiff since it is new and you might have to try and push the gears open manually which might take a bit of a push.

yes it swings left and right. If you do not want to swing there is a stopper to hold it in place.

Yes, it will swing side to side when pushed on but when left untouched it doesn't swing.

yes it does. 180 degrees you will not be disappointed with great deal for price

I have a 42" TV mounted to it and it won't swing a full 90 degrees. I would guess it swings to about 60 degrees.

couple years since I bought mine. It angles up from the post as I have a short frame bike. I love it!! very handy and the easy to remove feature is great if storing the bike or in sketchy neighborhoods.

It can be rotated 180degs...90degs each way from vertical. Hope that helps.
