Receiver Hitch-Mounted Table

Receiver Hitch-Mounted Table FARM HOME Miscellaneous 30-2-10 Everything from toilet seats to umbrellas are being made to fit into 2-in. receiver hitches. An Iowa company has come up with another new accessory that it calls the "TableGater." It's a 36-in. dia. wood table that fits on a 36-in. long vertical piece of steel square tubing. It adjusts up and down with the turn of a lever at the end of a 38-in. length of square tubing that slides into a pickup receiver hitch. All three pieces come apart and fit into 5 in. of vertical space. "There's enough clearance at the back of the truck so you can fold down the tailgate and use it as a seat," says Kevin O'Hara, a partner with the company making the TableGater. "You can paint it, put cup holders in it or add an umbrella to it," says O'Hara. As an afterthought, they created a steel base for it that allows it to be used as a freestanding table at home on a deck or patio. Comes in different colors with logos and graphics. You can also specify how many recessed cup holders to build into it for an additional cost. The basic TableGater sells for $179 plus S&H. Table base sells for $89.
