I like the (incomplete) idea of a flat false deck (with draws), then something like the pulley used here (prob manual boat winch for me 😅)but just an extended peice for the back wheel (maybe one that pulls out like a trundle) and a spare no.plate
Nice to see someone else to do this and end up with a very similar design and troubles as I did. Mine was aluminum and carried a sportster as well as dirt bikes. Great job.
Nice design work and process. I have _thought_ (not built) about something similar but only ever for one bike. You're right about the tie down points needing to be further out, the compression in bike forks works great for locking it down but not so good for lateral movement. Looking forward to the finished product.
For the foot pegs you can weld a a tie down point and use turn buckles and it allows you to have the back and stable as it’s all in the middle of the bike pulling it down.
Amazing ingenuity and design. Very cool! the progression and you sharing your improvements in design is great to watch. WIder tie down brackets would solve the wobble... but that probably doesn't meet you design parameters.
Great build Richard, love these types of videos. For stability, instead of having the 'push down' peg holders, could you pull the pegs into a slot with an angled down top? Since the bike would be pulling into it it would apply downward pressure each side creating the stability.
bloody love your work and persistence with the design! but i can’t help to keep thinking how much easier is would be to extend your tray and ride it up a $100 ramp? 😂
There is over centre front wheel carriers that lock in depending on tyre size , so when it’s set correctly there is no need for straps ! With the rear wheel why not design a clamp that goes over the rear wheel that secures to the slide and that can be easily removed with the right tools. This will also help further eliminate the need for straps and will also provide you a way to add security to the build !
Nicely done mate. Have a cam at the top or a large bearing that has a tapered lead feeling it as it reaches the top of the travel. It will hold itself tight then. Make the 2 ramps one u shape that travel together, that can still go around the spare, but limit rocking as the width is greater. The tie downs could cross over then. Also Ballard's has a locking wheel holder. Very well done. I'd love to support your channel with laser cutting and folding, but I'm in QLD. Cheers Justin eva4x4 & metal mfg.
Cheers Justin, love the cam idea. Will have a go at implementing it. I’ll have a look at the locking front wheel holder. Cheers mate, if you were Victorian based I would take you up on that!!
nice idea... just don't forget if the bike is loaded up if you go into an underground carpark... Try an alternative approach - lock the bike in to the ramp via the bash plate or frame rails - add in some attachment points (twist 90 degrees to lock in?) / hook holes to the bottom of the bike, add a post with top plate to mirror the bash plate to the slider and just hook the bike on to that... if you can get the attachment pole to also be capable of being tightened down (maybe an old ratchet strap handle welded on), you will get the bike locked on under tension... I know the challenge is in the project and solving the problems, but for that amount of work, you could have just built a trailer instead...
Well didn’t mate haven’t really watched to many of your videos before but being a Mechanic I liked it being a bit more technical than the usual other people. Thanks.
AWESOME build! Glad I found your channel through YT recommendations. If the final design is not ready yet...just a small suggestion from an engineer...if possible you can use your winch/ rope mechanism to deploy and retract the bottom part of the track, which you made manually removable. Looking forward to the final part of this build.
Thanks mate, while it is all possible it is hard to know how much time to give everything to get that extra 5%, the engineer in me wants to make it extravagent and complicated but then the other side is just saying get it done hahaha.
Add flatdown loading behind headboard mate,lower vertically ,bikes too high in air,or just have loading winch pole,that can be moved to either side,simple
look at bike binderz for a possible footpeg tie down solution. i like the build but for me there is a glaring problem your bike can be taken out by a low hanging tree branch which will drastically limit how far off the main roads you can go.
Hey mate I’d love to get into doing things like this myself but don’t know where to start just wondering what cad you use and how you learnt to use it.
I am completely self taught on the CAD front, heaps of trial and error and watching youtube. I would recommend fusion 360 to start with as its good bang for buck! They are all similar and once you have learnt one you can transfer your skills quite easily.
Yeah nice job l have a similar problem sheds to small infact the planet is a bit limited so many idea's so little time Maybe two models one with custom tray for maximum fit and one to retro fit old mate's tray
As a Welder by trade PLEASE for the love of everything grind the paint of the metal before you weld especially if you're taking the time to tig weld. Those welds are dangerous and you risk breaking any weld made over paint or mill scale.
Isn't the point of having hundreds of holes in your welding table to put pins in the holes to ensure square joints without measurements or fiddly clamping?
@@DesignedandBuilt I didn't mean to sound arrogant buddy, was just guinely providing input.. so the way would be to build a metal structure above canopy(to protect windshield and canopy.. will ned nose to protect hood as well) adding pulleys/rollers to redirect the winch up and over. Then you essentially attach it to either of the 2 sleds. Play with the idea..and mock it up with rope and plywood to see what happens.. just mind the lateral forces/stresses on the pulleys/rollers redirecting the force at an angle.
@@DesignedandBuilt alternatively, mount another winch to a rollover bar and give it sliding over properties.. to move from one sled to another.. that sliding property can be metal pipe over pipe since it will only be moved without load. winches are cheap right?
Mate just when I thought your content couldn't get any cooler you come out with this. Man what a sick idea and design skills are next level. Thanks for sharing mate.
I love the iteration and design you go through with all your projects. Definitely a whole different level to most TH-cam car channels which I really appreciate as I enjoy the same process (albeit at a much lower level). It’s awesome to see how far you have come from your first vids!! Keep it up!
As a rear wheel holder, I would go back toward your lifting extension section, place stand-offs to the side so you can still push your front wheel through, then the extension can slide over the rear wheel to capture it. Means you're stuck with bikes at the same wheelbase. Sidenote can you still register 2023/4 250x?
Im all about giving input without being negative but what about a half canopy and put the bikes sideways, or a rear hitch high mount carrier, the center of gravity seems a bit high, and it’s best to compress the suspension or fit a suspension lock because as you go over corrugations the bikes suspension will articulate and the straps may come loose,
That this is awesome! I like the foot peg holders actually. But I would mount them to the main system, NOT the slider. That way when the bike is in place, the foot peg holders secure the bike, as well as the slider to the ENTIRE rigid system mounted to the truck. So it will not allow it to rock or sway while underway. Would be easy to incorporate as you only need to mount them on the part the base is, and they would be use a little wider than the slide. So the slide would pass though where they are mounted. When the slide in fully slide up, the bike would stop at the foot peg holders. I would also incorporate a secondary way to get the slide up, incase of winch failure. If you are out somewhere, and the winch fails, you still need a way to load the bike. You can also make it so the rear flip section of the ramp, acts as a rear tire holder when folded up. One thing I always remember was a trip to desert with my dad as a kid. We had bikes on a trailer towed behind a motorhome. With the bumps on the dirt road, a rear tire on one of the bikes bounced off of the rail, and the bike was resting on the sprocket that caught the rail, and was just hanging there. From then on we always but a strap around the rim and the rail, just like you did the very first time on the front tire. I would do that to your rear tire as well, any bumps in the road at speed may cause the rear end of the bike to jump off, unless the peg holders are used. One last thing, I also wouldn't extend the ramp to fit the truck on a level road, if you are going to go anywhere with it, it won't just be a flat parking lot. you should just leave the small section as a ramp if needed but just allow the slide to go to that point, that way you can load and unload in any terrain. May have to man handle the bike a little to get it up, but the slide is made for more gear storage and some ease of loading. But in the wild, nothing will be even, so don't factor in the slide being able to go on the small extension all the time.
I think the foot peg holders will get another run, or like you suggested Tie down over the back wheel. I do like your suggestion of the foot peg holders on the canopy and not the slide, cheers for the comment!
Try mounting the tie down straps off of the lower triple clamps instead of bars. They will be closer together at top and also shorter distance of strap to base mount. It's way more stable 🤙
The best versions of these I have seen are in Canada with the snow mobiles, they run the same type mechanism as a skip bin hook truck and just lay the tray flat on the ground and pick it all up when tied down, gives you endless amount of trays you can run
Well done mate. It's getting there. No new concept is ever perfect on the first iteration. And I can appreciate just how many lessons and changes occurred during the process. Looking forward to the final product.
Cool idea, but why not just get the hitch mounted one. It allows me the use of the whole back of my truck bed AND essentially gives me a lift if I need to do some trailside work.
A bike cannot legally protrude more than 150 millimetres from the outermost side of either side of the vehicle in Vic. Other states are likely the same.
@@nordic5490 is that truck very narrow? Mine goes behind my Toyota Tundra without any protrousion. I do turn the handlebars, so that shortens it some. I have a 2023 KTM 500, so I don't imagine it's smaller than the one he has.
Absolutely amazing project. I'm impressed by your persistence and creativity. You've aproached this very professionally!

Buy a decent ramp, secure it as you load the bike. It's not rocket science. Been riding for 35 years and liafing bikes on to lifted 4wd, NEVER. had a mishap😮
Hi there first time to your channel, I like the idea - looks great. If you dont mind input you could use your winch to dog down your bike to the rack, with bottom supports below the foot pegs..
Could you use carabiner and turn buckle tie down points at the foot pegs and recess the rear wheel also like the Ballard’s bike rack might resolve a lot of the dramas and no need for tie downs at the front either
My mate has a trailer that has loop bars that u push over da top da front tire so didn't need tie dwn straps, works great, I can send photos if u like, great vids
Man, you’re such an inspiration to me! As someone who strives to do all my own things in the shed you really give ideas and makes me want to push myself to doing cool stuff like you 🙌🏼
Good effort man, I built a something similar when i wanted an electric ladder to my attic same concept but just longer and made from timber, worked well even automatically closed the lid when the ladder was fully up.
If you move the front tie-down strap loop on the carriage further rearward, there is no need for a rear wheel tie-down. This is how almost all motorcycle trailers work.
A bike cannot legally protrude more than 150 millimetres from the outermost side of either side of the vehicle in Vic. Other states are likely the same.
Is there a reason your tying the bike down to the rollers when on the Ute. Why not strap the bike down to the “ramp” the rollers are welded to. Should stop the play your getting in the rollers.
Are we not going to talk about how sick the 3D designing stuff is?!?
Love your work! Your designs are excellent, your CAD work spot on, your fabrication is improving and your videography and storytelling is fantastic.
The amount of motivation uncle Richo gives is too good for words.... 🖤

Truly amazing work mate! Well done, and thanks for sharing all your learnings with us.
Great work. I'm a sport bike rider and have always wanted an autoloader.
I use 2 turn buckles with a carabina on each end. Lock them off to the foot pegs and use no tiedowns.
Okay now that is sick. Good stuff.

I'd of kept the actuated ramp but made it so it somehow hugged around the back tyre (like a claw?) for stability.

Cool engineering but if you can't load your dirt bike without this, you should probably not be riding a dirt bike.
I can load my bike without this! Maybe I just want to do some cool engineering 😎
Nice work! It came out really nice. Cool truck!
That front wheel wouldn't go 10km before it would be a taco
?
Front wheel of the bike would be bent in half like a taco 🌮 Mexican food
Why?
Very little side to side stability, you mentioned adding rear support that helped I'm sure it is a bitchen design for 1 man load, unload the bike.

Should have mentioned in the video, front wheel holder was just to get the bike up to a point where I could use the footpeg holders!
Or buy a $100 a toe hitch bike rack
Great progress you could look at a wider tie down once bike is up, stretching to the opposite side of canopy rather than just side of slide.
Would make it stable for sure, any bright ideas of how to do that without getting on the canopy? I want E Z 🤣
maybe have the tie down point on between on the front of the headboard near the cab quarter windows
@@brianharc6511 100% this, handle bar to there and bike would be rock solid
