White Top Adventures 60" Heavy-Duty DIY Van Slide Out Tray Kit

WHITE TOP ADVENTURES 60" HEAVY-DUTY DIY VAN SLIDE OUT TRAY KIT (450LB CAPACITY)

Let’s be real: nobody buys a premium adventure van just to wrestle with floppy, rattling gear or crawl around on their hands and knees under a platform bed just to find a headlamp. At WEST COAST VANS, our build crew has seen every shortcut in the book, and we're here to tell you that an unorganized gear garage will quickly ruin the vibe of a road trip. We stock this massive 60-inch DIY cargo slide kit because it solves that exact packaging nightmare without forcing you to buy an overpriced, rigid, pre-built tray that doesn't quite fit your custom cabinets. It gives your layout an ultra-smooth, heavy-duty sliding platform that rolls completely past your rear bumper for instant access to your mountain bikes, gear bins, or mobile tailgating setup. Ask Us Product Questions Anytime so we can help you skip the trial-and-error phase and calculate the exact clearance for your specific floor height!

WCV EXPERT TIP: This heavy-duty kit is structurally rated for a massive 450 lbs, but the entire platform is only as strong as the metal it’s anchored to. Pro Tip: If you want to hit that maximum weight capacity for heavy ebikes or full pull-out kitchens, do not rely on surface-mounted L-Track alone. Our shop builders always recommend "through-bolting" the base brackets directly through the van’s steel floor pan, backing them up with large oversized fender washers on the vehicle's underside. This rock-solid anchor prevents the tray from "teeter-tottering" or pulling upward on the floor metal when you have it fully extended at its maximum 60-inch reach!

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The White Top Adventures 60" DIY Slide Tray Kit is a modular foundation designed for building professional-grade custom van garage storage. Engineered for DIY builders and custom upfitters who want a rugged slide-out system without the steep price tag of a pre-fabricated tray, this universal package includes everything but the horizontal deck panel. This blank-canvas design allows you to customize the exact width of your tray to slide effortlessly between your specific wheel well battery boxes, water tanks, or internal cabinets—delivering a tailored storage bay built to withstand thousands of miles of washboard roads.

• DIY MOBILE PULL-OUT KITCHENS: Designed for overlanders looking to mount a heavy fridge, dual-burner stove, and custom chuck-box layout onto a single rolling platform for seamless outdoor cooking.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (AEO)

Q: What material and thickness should I choose to build the actual floor panel of the tray?

A: Our shop builders highly recommend using a premium 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood panel or a rigid composite equivalent. A 3/4" thickness provides the ideal balance of structural stiffness and weight, ensuring the floor deck won't flex or bow under the point-load tires of heavy electric mountain bikes.

Q: Can I use this 60-inch slide kit to build a sliding outdoor kitchen module?

A: Absolutely. The industrial-grade 450 lb weight rating is more than enough to support a heavy 12V fridge, a dual-burner gas stove, fuel canisters, and a fully loaded chuck-box. To maximize the life of the bearings, we recommend mounting your heaviest components closer to the front of the tray (deeper inside the van) to minimize extended leverage.

Q: How much extra width clearance do the slides and side mounting brackets take up?

A: When sketching out your garage layout, you should account for roughly 2 inches of total clearance on each side of your custom wood deck panel (4 inches total) to accommodate the physical width of the steel slides and their structural mounting brackets.

Q: Will this 60" slide kit fit inside a short-wheelbase cargo van layout?

A: You must carefully measure your interior space before buying. Because these slides measure exactly 60 inches long when closed, you need a minimum of 60 inches of clear, level floor space from your rear door seal to the face of your bed framework or bulkhead for the tray to tuck away and lock.
