LoadSpotter Levitating Slide (1 Viewer)

[TemboTusk]

Hi everyone,

We are a new MUD advertiser and want to make a formal introduction. TemboTusk.com has designed and is manufacturing a Made in the USA levitating slide.

The LoadSpotter slide solves two problems: It enable you to secure your fridge safely to the top of your drawer or storage system without compromising space, while eliminating the need to lift a heavy, cumbersome fridge in and out of your truck every time you need to get a drink or food out.


In other words or pictures:

Picture #1: Move your fridge from this position:
Picture #2: Slide out the fridge and down to an easy to access level:
Picture #3: And now for refreshments

The attached cutting board is an optional extra. The slide can be ordered with or without the cutting board.

The LoadSpotter slide is designed to accommodate a wide range of portable refrigerators. The second generation LoadSpotter currently in production will accommodate the following fridges:


Engel 35,45 & 40 liter.
ARB 35,45 & 50 liter.
National Luna 40 & 65 liter, (The 65 liter N.A. fridge is very tall & may have clearance issues with some vehicles.)
WAECO 35, 40, & 50 liter.
Norcold 40 liter
EdgeStar 40 liter.

The LoadSpotter slide is being talked about on the Overland Expo’s new website and newsletter. Click on the following link: Having your Chocolate and eating it too!


Thank you

Any plans for the Norcold/Engel 60? If you need a fridge to build a prototype with,I would be willing to help with my Norcold.

 

[TemboTusk]

Mogas, thanks for the offer! I'll keep it in mind!

The first generation LoadSpotter slide was designed around the Engel 35/45 liter fridge and is just about sold out. We are currently in production with a new or the second generation design that will accommodate the following fridges:

Engel 35,45 & 40 liter.
ARB 35,45 & 50 liter.
National Luna 40 & 65 liter, (The 65 liter N.A. fridge is very tall & may have clearance issues with most vehicles.)
WAECO 35, 40, & 50 liter.
Norcold 40 liter
EdgeStar 40 liter.

The third generation slide is on the drawing board and the plan it to design it to accommodate the very big fridges such as the Engel 60 & 80 liter, along with the ARB 60 liter and ARB 80 liter. In addition the new design will fit the WAECO 80 & 110 liter, Norcold 60 liter, National Luna 80 liter and EdgeStar 60 liter fridges.

Although, I'm not sure how many people buy the big fridges. It would be interesting to do a survey of who use what size fridge.

Let me know if I can help. I could drive out and leave the truck with you to figure it out.

Dave,

I have gotten a a fair amount of interest in a larger slide and I will definitely make a limited number of them. I appreciate your generosity and the offer of your vehicle, but, I do have access to an 80 series locally. Although the exact exterior dimensions of your Engel fridge would be very helpful.

I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Can you give me the outside width at the base? At the widest point.

Thanks, Justin

Thanks, Justin

Hi Justin,

The the outside width at the base is: 22 inches. Check the attached file for a photo reference . The fridge tray flange is 22 3/8" wide and the T-Handle pull pin knobs are 24 1/4 wide.

Hope that helps. Feel free to give me a call if you have more questions.

My phone number is on the banner.

Hi Jerry, how far down does the fridge drop when in the extended and lowered position? I'm designing a drawer system for my 19080 HJ45 Troopy and considering one of your slides.

 

[Taildragon]

Thx, That was perfect.

Hi Jerry, how far down does the fridge drop when in the extended and lowered position? I'm designing a drawer system for my 19080 HJ45 Troopy and considering one of your slides.

Rufus,

The drop is 11.5 inches.

I got your PM, talk to you when you are back in.
