make a tray that will hold the bike, and slide out to save jumping in the van with a hunched back which is not ideal!

Started by making the base out of ply, fits nice and snug and doesn’t even need fixing down due to the weight and tight fit, so can be removed easily if needed.



Then installed the heavy duty drawer runners and assembled the sliding drawer.



Fits perfect!



Touch of paint for the bare wood that would be vissible.



Then stuck some rubber matting down on the drawer, the matting comes up the sides as well, so it will help keeping the water contained if I put a soaking wet bike in the back.



Bought some cheap bike stands off amazon to hold the bike upright and bolted them to the sliding drawer.



Fits like a glove!



Super happy with this as it means I can slide the drawer out, lift the bike up and slide it back into the van, avoiding the need to climb into the van hunched over and strapping it down! Hoping there is space to the right to fit my smaller trail bike as well, may need to take the front wheel off but that will be the next stage

Wished I had a Maxi like you, so it wouldn't be such a squeeze to get the bikes in!
