Rear Cargo & Bike Frame

Add bike and gear-carrying capacity to the back of your van without giving up your rear ladder. The Unaka Gear Co. Rear Cargo & Bike Frame mounts to the Unaka Rear Ladder System (RLS), turning it into a versatile rear rack for bikes, cargo boxes, and everyday adventure gear.

Built from powder-coated aluminum, the frame weighs just 15 lbs and carries up to 100 lbs, including bike trays. At 30" x 25" x 2", it adds a solid, low-profile platform to the back of your van without adding bulk.

The frame holds two 1UP or Kuat Piston SR bike trays, and no extra hardware is needed to mount them, so you can bring your bikes along on every trip. Mounting to the RLS takes one MOLLE panel insert.

The frame clears most storage boxes up to 24" tall, so it works with the rear box setups many van owners already run. You can also mount it directly on top of a storage box by drilling four holes, which gives you a solid bike and cargo platform even without the ladder.

ADVANTAGES
  • Carries Two Bikes – Holds two 1UP or Kuat bike trays with no extra mounting hardware needed.
  • Lightweight Aluminum Build – Powder-coated aluminum weighs just 15 lbs and resists corrosion and road wear.
  • 100 lb Capacity – Strong enough for two standard bikes or a mix of bikes and cargo.
  • Built for the Unaka Rear Ladder System – Mounts to your RLS with one MOLLE panel insert, keeping bikes and gear on the back of your van.
  • Works With Your Rear Box – Clears most storage boxes up to 24" tall, so you don’t have to choose between box storage and bikes.
  • Box-Mount Option – Mounts directly to the top of a storage box with four drilled holes for setups without a ladder.
  • One Rack, Many Uses – Carry bikes, cargo boxes, and other gear on the same frame.
