Description

LIGHTER…STRONGER…SAFER…SMARTER

The patented Drop Slide™ is designed to provide unrestricted access to a fridge, toolbox or generator at a safe, convenient level.

Using the slimline handle, the Drop Slide™ lowers 30 centimetres while extending out further over the tailgate. This happens in one safe, smooth, controlled motion. At the same time, the platform remains in a perfectly horizontal position and avoids contact with the vehicle.

The unique MSA 4X4 blue anodised faceplate provides a tough, durable and easily recognisable finish. The frame is constructed from powder-coated steel and the compact design maximises storage space within the vehicle. The MSA 4X4 Drop Slide™ is engineered to be easily installed and the pre-drilled tray holes provide anchor points for most popular fridges. The lock-in, lock-out safety feature locks the slide in its intended position while travelling, preventing potential damage to the fridge and vehicle.

The Original Drop Slide™. Still the Benchmark.

Invented by MSA 4X4 in 2007 and still patented. The Drop Slide™ lowers your fridge before extending, so accessing a full fridge in a raised wagon, canopy or dual cab no longer means a sore back or a half-empty fridge.

FAQS

What is a Drop Slide™?

The MSA Drop Slide™ is a fridge slide that lowers your fridge 300mm while extending past the tailgate. That gives you easy lid access on lifted rigs, wagons, and utes, without lifting heavy fridges over a drawer system or canopy door. It was the world's first drop-style fridge slide and is still the benchmark.

Will it fit my fridge?

We make Drop Slide™ trays in DS40, DS45, DS50, DS60, and DS95 sizes to suit fridges from roughly 30L up to 110L. Use the MSA Fridge Application Chart to find the right slide and Fridge Barrier for your fridge brand and model. If your fridge isn't listed, contact our team.

How far does it drop, and how far does it extend?

The Drop Slide™ lowers 300mm vertically while extending past the vehicle's tailgate. The slide stays horizontal through the full motion, so the fridge doesn't tip and contents stay where you put them.

What's the load rating?

The DS40 Drop Slide™ uses 650NM gas struts and is rated to 200kg on the slide runners. That covers most chest fridges loaded with food, drinks, and ice.

Is it secure on rough tracks?

Yes. The unique lock-in, lock-out safety feature locks the slide in both the stowed and extended positions, so it won't slide on corrugations or accidentally release while you're parked. Travel lock and key are included.
