DIY ammo crate drawer

Post by WayneSchalk »

Thought I will upload this for my toppi, just a simple slide for 4 ammo crates for his trailer. He used Connect-it blocks, but reinforced it a bit.

To go on top I suggested 2 "milk crates" just for those loose items....

Slides: 2 x 1meter R400 each
Catches: 2 x R70 each
Alu Angle iron: 3 x 3m R119 each
Alu Square tube: 2 x 6m R170 each
Connect it block: about R40 for the lot
Other bits.....

Total R1700

Very nice! I don't know these sliders, so maybe a dumb question, but here goes: what's the weight rating on those sliders? If ammo boxxes A & B are a bit heavy, won't they bend? Seem to recall some clever kaalkop oomie in a white lab coat saying something about long levers and a place to stand and moving the earth...
I feel a lot less wise at 45 than I did at 15.

1,000mm long
90Kg capacity on 450mm extension, so at full length that 90kg drops, I don't have the facts but would think it will handle 45kg. But these crates will not be loaded with bricks in any case :lol:

Nice design,simple but effective :thumbup:
Great thing about those connectors,you can carry spares,where welding alli in the bush becomes a problem.
