You'll have to do a little modification, but you can mount and use a standard rear rack to set up a delta trike for load4d touring.
Parts:
2 shackle bolts
1 Avenir Rear Rack
2 grade 8 bolts to mount down struts to lower mount points / nuts and lock washers
Mount the shackle bolts on the middle crossbar, mount the down struts at the lower basket mounts on an EZ-3 trike (You will likely have to spread them a bit). Mount the forward rack mounts to the shackle bolts Bending is required).
See below:

It actually turned out looking like it was purpose built unless you look at the sloppy bends on the forward mounts;)
