A fridge slide is a fridge slide, is a fridge slide. Or is it? At Alu-Cab we take great delight in innovation - reinventing the things that most people think can't be improved upon. Our fridge slides are a case in point. We build our slides out of a combination of aluminum and 3CR12 stainless steel, the former for its lightness and the latter for its strength and durability. This combination of materials allows for a fridge slide that's up to 5 kg lighter than the competition, and as any seasoned off-roader will tell you, lighter is better.
Then there are the bearings that we use. Most fridge slides feature telescopic drawer runners, very similar or even identical to the runners you'll find on the drawers in your kitchen at home. The problem is that the fridge slide in your 4x4 has to deal with very different conditions to what your kitchen is exposed to! Nope, hard experience has taught us that sealed bearings work better and last longer.
Perhaps one of the most innovative features of our fridge slide is its tilt facility. A deceptively simple design with no complicated linkages or moving parts allows your fridge to tilt downwards as it reaches the end of the slide. This allows you to more easily access its contents.
Finally, to sweeten the deal, we include a ratchet strap with every slide. We figured you're going to need one anyway to secure your fridge so it makes sense (and cents) to include one in the package. We also pack in a set of corner locators; these L-shaped brackets allow you to fix the fridge securely in place, so that it won't move around, regardless of conditions under tire.
