Product details

Vertical 1UP Tray Bike Mount Kit

This mount kit lets you attach your 1UP bike tray vertically to the Unaka Rear Ladder System Base Kit (Transit or Sprinter), so your bikes ride upright on the back of your van instead of sticking out on a hitch rack. You keep the tray you already trust while saving space, reducing rear overhang, and keeping your rear doors usable.

Built from aluminum, each kit mounts one tray rated up to 40 lbs. At 8" x 1.25" x 1.5", the brackets are compact and low-profile, adding bike capacity without adding bulk.

Need room for two bikes? Add a second kit. Two-tray setups are tested and confirmed, and they require all of the MOLLE panel inserts installed on your RLS.

ADVANTAGES
  • Vertical Bike Carry – Mounts your 1UP tray upright, keeping bikes close to the van and cutting rear overhang.
  • Use Your Existing 1UP Tray – Adapts the 1UP rack you already own, so there’s no need for a whole new bike carrier.
  • Expandable to Two Bikes – Start with one tray and add a second kit when you need it.
  • Support Cable Included – The Vertical Bike Tray Cable braces the tire arm for a secure vertical setup.
  • Lightweight Aluminum Build – Compact aluminum brackets add capacity without adding bulk.
  • 40 lb Capacity Per Tray – Handles most standard mountain, gravel, and road bikes.
  • Driver or Passenger Side – Installs on either side of your RLS.
