Fridge Slides

Make Camping Easier with Fridge Slides

When you’re out in the bush or hitting the tracks, the last thing you want is to wrestle with your fridge just to grab a cold drink. That’s where a fridge slide comes in. It lets you slide your fridge out easily, so you don’t have to reach, stretch, or unpack half your gear to get to your food. If your fridge is tucked away in the back of your ute or mounted high in your canopy, a fridge slide makes all the difference.

Plus, it keeps your fridge secure while you’re bouncing around on rough tracks, so you don’t have to worry about it shifting or rattling. It’s also a convenient way to save your back from awkward lifting. Whether you’re grabbing a quick snack or setting up your full camp kitchen, a fridge slide makes everything easier and more convenient, letting you get back to enjoying the adventure.

How to Install a Fridge Slide

Installing a fridge slide is simple with the right tools and a bit of patience, but for best results, it’s best to have it done by an expert. If you'd prefer to do it yourself:

• Measure the Space: Measure the space in your 4WD or ute to ensure the fridge slide will fit perfectly. Also, be sure to measure your fridge and the tray size of the slide to ensure it also fits.
• Mark the Mounting Points: Place the fridge slide in the desired location and mark the mounting points on the base. Always check the underside of your marked locations before drilling to prevent drilling into other components.
• Grab a helping hand: Hold the slide in the desired position and cycle through the range of motion to ensure clearances of all parts of the vehicle.
• Drill Holes: Use a drill to make holes for the bolts at the marked points.
• Secure the Fridge Slide: Attach the fridge slide to the base using the provided bolts and nuts. Make sure it is level and tightly secured.
• Attach the Fridge: Place the fridge onto the slide, ensuring it is properly aligned. Secure it with straps or locking mechanisms.
• Test the Slide: Slide the fridge in and out to ensure it moves smoothly and locks securely in both open and closed positions.
• Regular Checks: Regularly check the bolts and moving parts for any signs of wear or loosening. Keep the slide well-lubricated to ensure long-lasting performance.

Why do you need a fridge slide?

If you’re heading off on an adventure in your 4WD, a fridge slide is a must-have. It makes it easy to get to your fridge, especially when it’s tucked away in the back of your ute or canopy. No more climbing over gear or twisting yourself into weird spots just to grab a cold drink.

Plus, a fridge slide keeps your fridge secure, so it won’t slide around or cop any damage when you’re bouncing over rough tracks. It also helps keep your setup tidy and organised, making life on the road that much easier.

How do I prevent a fridge slide from rattling or shifting while driving?

To stop rattling, make sure all bolts are tightened securely, and check them regularly. Use straps or locking mechanisms to hold the fridge firmly in place. Adding rubber pads under the slide can also reduce vibrations and noise on rough tracks.

What is the weight of a fridge slide?

The weight of a fridge slide depends on the model and size. Standard slides are usually lighter, while tilt and drop-down fridge slides, like the MSA DS40 Drop Slide, tend to be heavier due to their added features. For example, the DS40 weighs 35kg but offers a heavy-duty 200kg load capacity with its durable aluminium and stainless steel construction.

Most fridge slides are built from strong yet lightweight materials like aluminium and stainless steel, ensuring durability without adding unnecessary weight to your setup. Always check your vehicle’s GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) to make sure the slide doesn’t exceed weight limits, especially if you're carrying a fully loaded fridge.
