drawer slides

Baz
When i made my drawers for my older vehicle i got the drawer slides from
Bunnings hardware or any hardware.They have all different lengths. I hope
that is what you are chasing.
Good Luck

Hi Baz

Al made a slide out cooker for me on the side of our van, if you click on the pic of my gorgeous son Callum, you'll see what I mean. Being in the "industry" he got them direct from the company who makes them...whose name escapes me...ahahhhaha...but I can find out for you....

Hettich make some 100kg slides which are 750mm long and slide out 80mm. with anti rattle rubbers as well.

Worth the $ for good ones.

If wanting custom length ones, try some 2x1 rhs and some dust sealed ball bearings like any of the vehicle rear drawer set ups, very easy to do.

I made my own storage sytem for the rear of the 100 Series.
I sources some slides from the company below. They are not cheap but they are top quality and rated to 100kg...from memory they were about $100.00

Baz,
I made a storage system for the Cruiser, and it works fine for me. I used Unistrut, this is available from electrical supply shops in 6mt lengths. I made up a frame to sit the draw in and on the side I welded the Unistrut. The Unistrut has a "C" section on one side which will allow a 22mm bearing to run. 5 bearings along each side over 900mm is fine. The longer the length the more bearings required.
They also use Unistrut on some roof rack bars, when you see it I think you can work out how I have set it up.
I have also made up spring locks so that when the draw is closed it is locked in and when the draw is open the lock holdes it in the open postion, so it will not close if the vehicle is not sitting level.

A few blokes in our club have got the camper trailers with slide out kitchens at the back. One bloke is a cabinet maker and built his own kitchen out of plywood. His slides really easily out on a carpet base he put on the trailer's floor. He has a steel frame at the rear end (furthest from the trailer when extended. This has 2 square steel tube verticals with nuts welded to the side. He pulls out the kitchen, holds it up with one hand while he slides 2 steel pipes (one at a time!!) down the framework till it's resting on the ground and secures it in place with a bolt on each one. Works well for them.
I thinks that, given the length of most of those pull-out kitchens (about 4' plus?), you'd pushing it uphill to find a set of slides that could handle what you're trying to do.

Baz, Try Parbury Henty. They have a 30kg Roller Runner that extends 800mm and costs about $45.00 Part No. Code 430800 Phone 1300 361 313
I'm about to embark on the same track as you. Good Luck.

Baz,

I have a pair of 5' long slides in my unit. Please check your member messages for contact information should you want it. They are able to carry 150 kg which is some weight but at the closed position not open. Price was around the $500 for good quality slides for the specific task. Have 4 pairs of others for the normal food and clothes drawers.

All built at Metal From Industries at Warragul in Gippsland. I can supply photos too.

Check out Hettich roller systems... you may have to do a web search for them.. I don't have their link anymore, but they make a great range of roller systems, not cheap, but then neither is the stuff you're likely to hang off 'em!!!!
