ORS Fridge Slides

When we were looking for a fridge slide to accompany our drawer systems, we discovered that every slide on the market had flaws. Some rattled, some weren’t adjustable, some didn’t offer a slide to suit larger fridges, and some were just downright horrible. So we set about developing a slide that worked. A slide with none of the shortcomings of other brands. It had to be solid to stop the slide from flexing over rough terrain. The only way to do this was to use as few parts as possible.

The top and base trays, rather than using a multitude of parts all bolted together, are punched and folded as a single piece. The strap loops are also incorporated into the top tray to eliminate the need for welds; (that can break).

We also noticed that a lot of fridges came in insulating bags. These bags had a tendency to rub on the runners of some slides and eventually tear. To stop this, the sides of the tray are built taller to completely cover the runner, protecting the bag.

A lot of slides, over time, started to rattle back and forth when closed. This was caused by the locking system coming loose. In many slides this was not adjustable, and the only option was to grin and bear it. We countered this by using our unique triple lock system. It means that the slide can be adjusted in the closed position to give a nice tight lock and not rattle en route.

We found the runners were the Achilles heel of the slide. If we used a below par runner, the result was a rubbish slide. We found an excellent quality runner that was stiff, didn’t rattle, used rubber bushes to assist locking, and over-extended by 50mm to ensure the fridge was well clear of the car. And the cost? Well we knew we were never going to be able to compete with the products coming in from China & the like, however, surprisingly, given all the improvements and extra features compared to other slides on the market, our price is very competitive. We have designed a strong, intelligent slide that we are happy to use in our own product.

A small price to pay for piece of mind, and piece and quiet.
