Options for fixing in a sliding tray....

[Sackmycook]

As per title, what have you used to fix in your sliding tray system?
I have altro floor with 12mm ply under. Would it need bolting right through or would it be fine with screws into the ply. Its load rated to carry 200kg. Any other options ?

Is it possible to use the original floor lashings? Or did your ply cover them up? I would have thought plenty of screws evenly spread out into the ply would be sufficient. I will be doing similar on a new van project. Will be a 1m square slider screwed into the ply floor. The ply floor will be bolted & screwed into the metal floor.

I deleted most of the lashing points when I had the van altro floored and carpet lined.
I've gone for wood screws and washers, probably about 12 in total, through the holes in the slider tray frame. It's done the job pretty well, I can sit on the fully extended section with no issue

You may have just answered my question. I don’t suppose you have any pictures of your set up do you?

The tray came as a unit from some 4x4 place, just had to fix it in....

If I use 18 mm ply on the floor, I shouldn't have any problems then?

 

[Sackmycook]

I cant see an issue with that, just use the appropriate length screw for fixing.

All of my units and bike sliding tray are held in with suki screws. Means everything can be easily removed and doesn't leave anything protruding from the floor.

Is the flooring itself bonded/fixed to the van floor?

The floor is 12mm ply screwed to batons bonded to the floor
