TSA2468 - Aluminium Telescopic Slides

Our new TSA2468 Heavy Duty Slides. It was brought to our attention that while our slide and tilt system can withstand 100% humidity and immersion in water the telescopic slides are unable to. This has been a problem from the past with wet lockers as the telescopic slides was corroding after 12 months causing the drawers to not work correctly. One solution was to fit stainless steel telescopic at two or three times the price. Our TSA2468 slide as been designed to replace the mild steel telescopics, will not corrode and is priced the same as the mild steel pricing structure. These slides are fully tested and a specification sheet can be downloaded. Slideandtilt.com’s new TSA2468 slide is a heavy duty 3 beam slide with 100% extension and utilising proven I beam construction. The slide provides high strength, high corrosion resistance and decent weight reductions over comparative steel slides. Designed to be compact the TSA2468 slide has a space envelope of 68 mm x 24 mm, a comparatively small space envelope for a heavy duty slide. Tested to 350 kg SWL and with a factor of safety of 2:1, the TSA2468 slide was designed purposely with vehicle applications in mind, but can be used in plenty heavy duty applications, ie: • Vehicle shelving • Battery carriers • Catering equipment • Naval applications • Machine guarding • Materials handling With vehicle emissions a major consideration to today’s vehicle builder, weight savings are a significant benefit in reducing fuel consumption and carbon footprint. The TSA2468 slide, at only 30% of the weight of other comparative steel slides, offers significant benefits, with many fire and rescue vehicles containing 6 - 8 pairs of heavy duty slides currently averaging a weight of 16 - 20 kg per pair. The total weight of slides per vehicle is in the region of 160 kg. Using the TSA2468 slide would reduce this weight to less than 60 kg per vehicle, a potential weight saving of 100 kg. Couple this with the additional benefit of high corrosion resistance, aerospace grade aluminium and it's easy to see why the TSA2468 slide is a winner where vehicles require multiple heavy duty drawers to be mounted.
