    Fridge slides / runners.

    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.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    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.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    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.

    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.


    Cheers
    Keithy
