Bike rack or ??? - How the heck do I transport this thing?

HELP! I work with an individual who is Autistic and he has a SUN recumbent tricycle. His dad and I are looking for a rack or trailer or some way to transport this thing. Its 70 or 80 pounds and a pain in the butt to put into the back of the van. Anyone have any experience with this bike and transporting one around? Hopefully some kind of receiver hitch configuration, but any thing will will work.

He might want to check Davert Trike Racks. Draftmaster and others also have some relevant models.

We use a Thule Revolver for our trikes but it sound's like lifting the trike is an issue in this situation.
