I'm looking at building a bike rack to go on the back of the Trayon camper. Without going in to too much detail, I'm looking at options to lower the rack to ground level, and lift it back into place.
Probably will have an vertical length of box slide inside a slightly larger piece of box, so looking at ways to lift and lower it, and then using pins to keep it in place. Was thinking maybe a hand winch or something. Another thought was a similar mechanism to a high-lift jack.
Any other ideas?
Hopefully you can visualise what I'm trying to do!

Hi Ranga, I have a Yakima rack which I am altering to fit my ARB rear bar on my 95 RRC. It uses a pivot and pin to allow it to be lowered away from the rear of the car, for access to the cargo area, also to be stored in a vertical position when not in use. I will post some pics when I have finished this project. Cheers, Phil

Use some small sections of pipe and rig it up as a block and tackle type setup.
put a. small eye splice in the length of rope and if you do it just right the rope will sit in the pipe and can be used to tie down as well if needed.

I've currently got the ISI carrier. Great design, but I'm looking to attach the rack to my Trayon camper, and the ISI is overkill for that. Also, I'll need to lower the bikes, rather than tilt them. The Yakima also looks good, and a possible solution after some modification (once I work out how to easily lower it to the ground with 1 person).Originally Posted by bikeman

Yeh, I'm thinking a block and tackle or hand winch might work. Maybe even a tiny electric winch!
Just gotta get the design right.

Box in box will tend to jam. Try round in box.

Ranga, which isi rack have you got? Thats what I'm after for my camper, but isi don't recommend 4 bikes on the back of it

I've got the 4x4x4 Bicycle Carrier (which I've already sold to a mate). ISI assured me this would be fine for all but extreme off-road conditions with 4 bikes.

Here's a basic design of the carrier that I'm considering. Obviously the rack slides up and down vertically inside the fixed receiver, and will be held in various positions using a tow hitch pin.
Two things I'm thinking about is will this pin flog out the holes in either the rack and/or reciever (if so, will a grub screw into the corner tightened help), and how to raise/lower the rack which will weigh between 50kg and 100kg.
Any ideas?
