Hi. Can you let me know if there is a way of adding a cargo tray under the bikes and what would be the weight limit? Thank you.

The best solution for adding a cargo tray under a bike rack is a hitch-mounted cargo carrier/bike combination. For this route, I recommend the Yakima EXO System with 2 Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier # Y54ZR. As far as the weight capacity, the bike rack has a 40-pound per bike weight capacity (50 pounds if mounted on the SwingBase without the TopShelf), and the cargo tray has a weight capacity of 110 pounds (250 pounds if mounted on SwingBase without TopShelf).
In order to use the Yakima EXO System, you will need a 2-inch hitch receiver. If you need a recommendation for a hitch, I would be happy to assist you if you provide the year/make/model of your vehicle.
