hi, we have a 70 litre liemack freezer/fridge and in the booklet it says to have a shock absorbing mat under it if intending to go on rough roads, has anyone got one of these, if so what did you use? we need something that is think enough to not squash in with the weight but soft enough to allow a shock absorbent ride. any ideas welcome, thank from chris

I had the Engle in a cab over truck on N QLD & NT roads in the days when they were bloody rough, it was sitting on springs, 6 springs sandwiched between 2 pieces of plywood, the bottom secured to the truck, the fridge secured to the top, it takes some doing in getting the right strength springs, the weight maybe some problem for a 4wd, but it is possible to make it lightweight.
It is just an idea, but it worked very
well for many years.

hi, we were thinking of making up something with
the springs and a couple of peices of ply, but were unsure what type of springs to use and were to get them from, thanks from chris.

use the ply with a 1inch piece of foam sandwiched between another piece of ply, with nylon cable ties at the edges to keep the ply pieces evenly spaced.

Chris,
I use a 70Lt Reefer fridge/freezer, I sit it on a 'plastic' lattice type "bread container" I think??
It's been on there since about 1996, originally was a Liemack 50Lt F/F and found I wanted something larger.
The plastic container sits on carpet which sits over underlay, reason being you should have some 'air' space under fridge cabinet
