When we were looking for a fridge slide to accompany our
drawer systems, we discovered that every slide on the
market had flaws. Some rattled, some weren’t adjustable,
some didn’t offer a slide to suit larger fridges, and some
were just downright horrible. So we set about developing a
slide that worked. A slide with none of the shortcomings of  other brands. It had to be solid to stop the slide from
flexing over rough terrain. The only way to do this was to
use as few parts as possible. The top and base trays,
rather than using a multitude of parts all bolted together,
are punched and folded as a single piece. The strap loops
are also incorporated into the top tray to eliminate the need for welds;
(that can break).
We also noticed that a lot of fridges came in insulating
bags. These bags had a tendency to rub on the runners of some slides and ventually tear. To stop this, the sides of
the tray are built taller to completely cover the runner,
protecting the bag.
A lot of slides, over time, started to rattle back and
forth when closed. This  was caused by the locking system coming loose. In many slides this was not adjustable, and
the only option was to grin and bare it. We countered this
by using our unique triple lock system. It means that the
slide can be adjusted in the closed position to give a nice tight lock and not rattle en route.
We found the runners were the Achilles heel of the slide.
If we used a below par runner, the result was a rubbish
slide. We found an excellent quality runner that was stiff, didn’t rattle, used rubber bushes to assist locking, and
over-extended by 50mm to ensure the fridge was well clear
of the car.
And the cost? Well we knew we were never going to be able
to compete with the products coming in from China & the
like, however, surprisingly, given all the improvements and
extra features compared to other slides on the market, our
price is very competitive. We have designed a strong, intelligent slide that we are happy to use in our own product.
A small price to pay
for piece of mind, and piece and quiet.
So your rolling down the bumpy dirt track, nothing but dust and trees to be seen for miles, meanwhile the fridge is doing backflips and cartwheels all over the back ruining your food.
