*Yes, I found a second Nitto Platrack and matching Sackville Platsack combination in inventory! * *This Platsack was modified by the previous owner, who replaced the snaps with turnbuckles; this allows for a more secure attachment to the Platrack in my opinion. Please see updated photos in link below.* I thank Bill Lindsey for the description below taken from his for sale post last year. He is a far better writer than I, and I thank him for his permission to quote his text: "The Platrack is a Nitto tubular steel platform specifically designed to bolt to the top of your Marks Rack (M1) or your Mini Front Rack (32F). The Platrack converts your smaller rack into a much larger platform. The Platrack has its own pair of auxiliary struts, stiffening and strengthening the assembly.

[RBW] Re: For Sale: Riv Nitto Platrack and Sackville Platsack
I had a platrack for a long time and loved mine. carried a car battery from the auto parts shop in mine, carried water melons frequently. sold mine because i stopped carrying such large things but this is a great setup if you need it. good luck with the sale bill!
