Here are some additional questions you may have regarding overlanding and vehicle fridge and cargo slides.
First of all, look up sizes to make sure the slide fits well in your trunk and your fridge fits inside the slide. Secondly, see how it works in terms of extraction, lock-in and lock-out mechanism and how your fridge or cargo can be secured on it when you are on the move. Finally, see what is included and what not with the main slide. Some options include straps, extra prep areas like wooden trays.
The stated load capacity of a slide is usually measured at an extraction of 450mm to 500mm. That means, for example, that a fully extracted slide of 700mm will have a lower load capacity near the front. It is therefore advisable to select a slide that has an higher load capacity to begin with.
The best way to secure your fridge is with ratchet straps. When handles are not an option, you need to run the straps from front to back utilizing a hook points on the slide. Best solution is to run two of them in a cross pattern. When you need to access your fridge, release a bit the straps and move them aside.
If your fridge construction is suitable, a second, albeit more invasive, option is to drill through the slide and anchor the fridge from the bottom, either utilizing exiting threaded holes, feet or any other potential hook point.
Most of the slides have a number of holes you can use to secure it to your vehicle. At least 4 points are recommended but more may be necessary if your slide is very large and thus likely meant to carry a heavy load.
First of all decide where you need to mount your slide and test it out to make sure you can fit it, open it and easily load it.
Mark the position of the slide and the position of the holes you will need to drill. Proceed with a pilot hole.
The surface onto which you are bolting your slide is equally important to decide where and how to secure it. For a wood platform we suggest using a threaded T-nut to be inserted underneath thus creating a convenient and easy to reach point. For a metal platform you have 3 options: 1) drill and insert a threaded rivet; 2) drill and thread the metal surface itself; 3) drill a hole you can pass the bolt through and use a lock nut underneath. This last one can be done only if you have easy access to the bottom of your vehicle.
An alternative is to utilize existing hook points in your boot, usually far apart on the trunk floor, have a couple of flat bars manufactured to run across the points and install the slide on them. This is not an optimal solution but could work for lighter loads.
Lastly, regularly check the nuts and bolts of your installation.

We absolutely love the quality and sleekness to our set up. There no other competitor that could accommodate what we wanted for our Gladiator/Alucab camper set up. The fridge slide was huge and we love all the matching cushions! The company staff were amazing, friendly and very good at being responsive and explaining everything to us. We highly recommend 👌
Great design, cable free, sleek and durable! And no rattles whatsoever. I can recommend this table unreservedly, it is definitely one of the best out there.
Tailgategear installed the double drawer module in my 2022 JL 4xe, combined with a prototype sleeping platform for the 4xe, also designed by Tailgategear. Love the combination so far, very sturdy design with lots of storage space, no rattles (also on the alpine roads I mostly use), and perfect for a good nights sleep in the 4xe for two persons and a dog. Working with Stefano was a pleasure, and I can highly recommend both the company and the solution Stefano came up with.
Love this table! The new version for the Grenadier is just perfect. Mounted in 5 mins. And, as always: The support of Stefano and his team is awesome!
Enjoying the equipment; functional, quality and well assembled
Thank you very much for everything and especially for your follow up for the delivery. A huge 5* for your team and products. Sincerely Eva Delessert
Ottima soluzione per avere più spazio di carico, robusto e molto bello, facile da installare
easy to install, quality very good. Optional would be a carpet surface on the top as offered from other suppliers be very appreciated..
Fast delivery, super-easy install, all parts made w precision (no misalignments), very sturdy / does not rattle. Looks great. Very happy with this add.
The drawers are exceptional quality and a perfect practical fit, maximising space whilst leaving a perfectly flat floor and still access to the side storage for the jack.
Without the extra top panel they are the perfect companion to the Trans K9 dog box.
Great quality material, fits perfectly the trunk of my car.
Explanation provided allows for precision fitting and further use!
All as described, very good quality and service.
The cargo tray is the best addition to your camping setup. Uses dead space perfectly and makes storage way easier!
I received the with few other products. Perfect addition
Received the Fridge Slide with few other things from Tailgategear. Was a super easy four bolt install. Quality is insane! Perfect combination with the CFX3 45.
