bike rack for beach cruisers which have fenders

Hi, we have 2-inch hitch and 2 beach cruisers and look for a bike rack which fits to the cruisers. The problem is that the cruisers have fenders and the arm holding the bikes in place from the platform rack seems to damage the fender. Does anyone have any idea what rack works well?

I mount the bike with the wheel arm in front of the fender, then use 2 pull straps. One to hold the front wheel in the tray (to keep wheel from bouncing), and another to hold the arm to the bike frame (as a safety measure). Been on road trips with no issues.

I have the Thule T-2 and I transport 2 50+ lb bikes with fenders this way

Thank you for the info! One fenders of the beach cruiser goes quite far around and has light attached. I wonder if the arms of the Thule T2 can be used as a frame mount? How far can they tilt upwards?

The arm won't attach to the frame. The tension is all on the tire (top and bottom). As long as the arm in front of the fender is secured, it will be fine, just use the straps to secure the arm and wheel
