Fridge Slides

A fridge slide provides controlled access to a portable fridge while keeping it restrained within the cargo area. The right setup depends on the fridge footprint, loaded weight, available travel and the structure beneath the tray. It also needs suitable cable routing and restraint points. This collection focuses on Clearview and Front Runner options for dedicated fridge installations and multipurpose cargo layouts.

KEY CATEGORIES AND WHAT THEY'RE BUILT FOR

CHOOSE BY USE CASE

For a dedicated fridge position, start with the Clearview Easy Slide models and match the published tray dimensions to the actual fridge. Consider an Expanda tray where adjustability matters. A Front Runner cargo slide suits layouts that may alternate between a fridge and other properly restrained cargo.

If access height is the main problem, compare the Clearview Power Slide with the requirements of a drop down slide before ordering. These mechanisms use different movement paths and need different clearances. Tell us what is difficult to reach, not just the fridge capacity, so the proposed setup addresses the actual problem.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

Do not select a fridge mounting tray from nominal litre capacity alone. Measure the fridge's external width and depth, then check the published tray dimensions. Allow for handles, controls, plugs, cable movement and the tie-down arrangement. The lid also needs to open without striking a rear door, canopy opening, shelf or drawer structure.

Check the complete extension path inside the vehicle. The slide must clear the tailgate or rear door and must not conflict with adjacent drawers or cargo. For Front Runner products, use the nominated size band as a starting point, then verify the dimensions and mounting requirements against the actual fridge.

Send us the fridge make and model, vehicle and cargo layout if the available space is tight or the product match is unclear.

POWER, DRAWER SYSTEM AND TIE-DOWN INTEGRATION

Cable routing has to accommodate the full slide movement without pinching, rubbing or pulling at the fridge plug. The fridge cable caddy is available elsewhere in our wider store range for compatible installations. The correct cable management method depends on the lead, plug position and surrounding hardware.

The slide may mount to a suitable drawer system, canopy floor or vehicle cargo structure. The supporting surface, fasteners and mounting pattern must suit the complete load. The fridge must then be restrained to the tray using compatible straps, clamps or a cage. Clearview tie-down straps and a cage for nominated Easy Slide models are included in this collection.

BRANDS IN THIS COLLECTION

Clearview products include the ES-100 Plus, ES-150 Plus and ES-220 Plus, adjustable Expanda trays, the Power Slide Extra Large and compatible restraint accessories. Choose between them by tray dimensions, access requirements and the planned mounting position.

For buyers searching for a Front Runner fridge slide, the collection includes Cargo Slide/Fridge Slide options for nominated fridge size bands. Their multipurpose format can also suit other secured cargo. Confirm the intended load, tray dimensions and restraint hardware before ordering.

WHAT A QUALITY FRIDGE SLIDE INSTALLATION INVOLVES

Installation starts with confirming that the mounting platform and underlying structure are suitable. The rails need to be aligned so the tray travels correctly, while the fasteners and backing must follow the relevant product and vehicle instructions. The open and closed positions should be checked through the full travel, with the fridge loaded and restrained.

Cable routing, lid clearance and access to controls also need to be tested as a complete system. If the proposed mounting method may affect vehicle compliance, refer to the manufacturer's documentation and the regulations applying in the relevant state or territory. Ask our workshop team to review the setup where the requirements are unclear.

Our Ferntree Gully and Pakenham workshops fit fridge slides to suitable vehicle, canopy and drawer layouts. We can review the slide, mounting structure, fridge restraints and cable routing as one installation. Send a service enquiry with your vehicle, fridge model and cargo layout so we can assess the parts and workshop requirements before confirming a booking.

Submit a service enquiry with your vehicle details, or email sales@ultimateoffroad.com.au, and our friendly staff will confirm fitment, quote the work and arrange a booking at Ferntree Gully or Pakenham.
