Fridge slides / runners.

[loanrangie]

About to buy the slides for my storage unit and deciding which capacity slides to buy , my 50ltr waeco is just under 20kg empty.
I doubt i would being putting more than 10kg in the fridge do would think 60kg rated slides should be enough , or i go to 125kg ?

Go bigger. If you're "at capacity" on the rollers all the time they are bound to fail. Over-engineer it!!

I'd go a bit of overkill mate - not only to give you a bit up your sleeve with the actual capacity, but also to cope with what the tracks you use will do to them as well.

60kg is double capacity but i was leaning toward the 125kg slides , not much price difference between them - about $12.

Spend the extra $12 and get the 125 Kg ones.

Off topic; how do u find ur waeco?

[Corgie Carrier]

That 60kg rating is with the slide closed in decreases greatly as you pull it out. At full stretch it would be about 25-30kg.

Have a look at some of the ads on ebay they have a scale that will tell you the capacity at full length

Off topic: Phat-customs, spend the extra and get a good brand, I've had a wanko and had nothing but trouble with it and ZERO warranty/after sales service. So I went and bought an arb and it is great.

A mate bought off this mob and was very happy with the service

The arb probably comes from the same chinese factory , heard some bad as well but like anything the few bad experiences make more noise than the lots of good stories.
If i was buying now i would buy a techni ice , good price and great warranty.

Off topic, but on topic :-)








I have currenty got a CFX 50 Waeco, having come from an ARB 78L. I find the Waeco extremely versatile and I like the fact that it opens from whichever side you want.


The only reason I went with the Waeco was that the ARB was too big for my new P38 (which has a fridge slide rated for any fridge you'd ever want, but not the space in the rear of the car). So I "downgraded" in size, and instead of paying the $1,400 ARB were asking for the 48L, I went with the Waeco at less than $1,000.


That said, I believe the bigger ARB frdge was more efficient.
