Dickeyville, Wisconsin’s iconic, American-made bike rack manufacturer, 1UP USA has announced some new ways to solve your storage needs. One of the things that make 1UP USA so unique is the modularity of its products, making modifying and adding additional trays simple.
That modularity extends to 1UP’s storage systems as well, allowing the user to modify and adjust the system to meet their exact needs. I’ve personally used their Rack Stash before, and it’s a simple and neat way to store your hitch rack when not on your vehicle.
Let’s take a look at what 1UP is calling its “smartest storage solutions” with some new additions to the Rack Stash line…
1UP RS Slide
Retail: $189 – $304
The RS Slide is available in two different configurations, just the “Slide” or the “Slide + Wall Mount Assembly. It looks like a sensible, practical way to free up space in tight areas. The two different options will make it easy to hang your bikes out of the way of the day-to-day activities that happen in any given storage area.
The system comes with the RS Slide, 5′ long track sections, 4ea. RS Standard Trolly Assemblies, and instructions.
