Triple sliding

Load carrier (1), in particular a load carrier (1) for bicycles (52) and/or luggage, for attachment to the rear side of a vehicle (50), with

• a basic structure having a basic frame (2) and a coupling device (4) for attachment to a vehicle arranged at a front end of the basic frame (2),
• a sliding frame (7) for receiving a load, in particular for receiving bicycles or a luggage box, wherein the sliding frame (7) is translationally moveable relative to the basic frame (2) between a retracted front position and an extended rear position, and
• at least one intermediate sliding element (10) is arranged between the basic frame (2) and the sliding frame (7) in such a way that the intermediate sliding element (10) is slidingly moveable relative to the basic frame and the sliding frame (7) is slidingly moveable relative to the intermediate sliding element (10) so that the sliding frame (7) is telescopically displaceable relative to the basic frame (2);
• wherein the basic frame (2) has a C-shaped structure open towards the rear side, wherein a central C-leg (3a) extends transversely to a longitudinal direction (L) of the load carrier (1) and two C-legs (3b) extend parallel to each other towards the rear side of the load carrier (1);
• wherein the C-shaped structure is formed by at least one bent round tube, which is welded at its central C-leg (3a) to the coupling device (4), in particular to a housing of the coupling device (4).
