Hi Brew69,

Hi Rossco, Quebelok is made by a company called capral aluminium. I think Ulrich aluminium make a similar product. The fridge slide runners are made by Hettich and rated at 100kgs. Google Hettich and i am sure you will find them. Hope this helps Brew

Brew
Dunno how to do that pasting thing, but if you email me on rickmooredotpacificdotnetdotau, I can send you a fridge shelf
pic that I made out of cubelok also.
It's not very sophisticated, but it only cost $ 69, and does the job for me. Fits in nicely with the other crap in the back of Shirl.
Cheers

Hello all,
Been following this thread with interest as I am setting up a tray.
Just got a set of of Hettich FR1105/800 #30281 slides[80kg @ 700mm extension]and I have a few questions..installing a 60l Trailblaza [about 850x450mm]
1. If I use ply, what thickness & ply no. should I use?
2. Hettich recommends 4x3.5mm woodscrews to hold the base/platform
a) Would this be sufficient for the off-road stresses?
b) Would nut+bolt be better?
3. Alternately, a steel plate..say 3mm? or is this overkill?
TIA...eng

You have the same Hetich runners i got. Interesting enough
mine say 100kg?Also i got no recommendations on what woodscrews to use but thats what i used. I have used 11mm ply but it was just a guess and as I have not tested it off road i can't say for sure. I am sure 3mm steel plate would be the way to go for ultimate strength, but its also extra weight. Brew

I welded one up for our Autofridge. You only need plate at the ends under the feet and a piece in the middle to stop any possibility of the slides spreading. So far it's survived Fraser Island without any problems. fI you don't have a welder then high tensile bolts with nyloc nuts would probably work as
well.

Thanks Brew,
Its rated for 100kg to about 600mm extension,
mine extends to 700mm..hence derated. I think I will try the plate as I need to lift the slider over a lip. Its up to $95 wholesale now.

Thanks Adrian,
I think the steel is a safer way to go....just need a friendly sheetmetal worker!
