Morning all
I'd like to fit a rear rack to my bike for bakery delivery purposes. Therefore I need it to have a wide-ish platform for carrying a standard plastic food delivery container which is roughly 30x40cm.
The boxes aren't that sturdy (and the cargo is precious!) so need supported across the full width, and ideally up the sides a bit as well
I'm quite keen on the wald woody except it's not wide enough. Anyone know if there's something out there?
Here's one of the crates...

Regular rack with one of those zip tied on then stack the one with product in on top and secure with a bungee. Not pretty, but I've seen it work for many a Southern European small holder on market day.
Or just knock up a plywood tray the right size that can be ziptied/attached to the rack? It's unlikely you'll get a stock rack that wide.
Yeah bit of plywood is probably the way to go. Just wondered if there was anything with a sturdy steel frame. 30x40 is euro box size which lots of cargo bikes / trailers are designed around
Even the rack on the back of my long tail cargo bike doesn't go that wide, like others i think its going to be a case of going as wide as you can then replacing or adding the top deck with something DIY.
Rather than a rack - carryfreedom's trailers come with platforms sized to match standard crate and box dimensions , the small one is 600x400 so two of your crates (or the next largest size of crate) would sit there really neatly. And because the trailer stays level as you ride, rather than tilting with the bike, you could stack a few crates on top of one another.
