As simple as does the job.

Using the right size section and the right gauge, along with good welds, you could simply use square section tubing on a heavy plate, like you pictured a couple of iterations above.  This would reduce bulk and complexity and keep cost down as well, because you would use all commonly stocked components and minimal fabrication.  Steel (or aluminum) itself is cheaper than welds.  I am not tech enough to offer drawings but I have been a builder for 40 years, and I have enough experience to know that even your most streamlined example could be made to work, if that's what you wish.  Any competent professional welder/fabricator could figure this out and do it for you.  You would likely have to design in some slop/adjustment and provide oversight, but I have complete knotheads making more complicated things for me all the time.

But clearly, you have been through this sort of thing before.

Best regards,
Paul S
