Chambrelan - Get 'em While They're Hot....

Burger vans and road side catering vehicles are some of the more every day applications and lack engineering sex appeal, but nevertheless it shows how independent people are using Chambrelan heavy duty slides across every day applications.

In this instance, Peter was having problems with his generator.  Since it was hard fixed to the vehicle wriggling it in and out by hand was time consuming and dangerous.  Originally he'd have to pull and wriggle the generator out by hand whenever there was a problem.  This is an easy enough job when there's two of you to do it, but Peter always found himself on his own when things went wrong and so he decided - in what we believe to be his infinite wisdom - to contact Chambrelan to see how their heavy duty slides could be used to help out.

Pete's van is a temple of culinary expertise and his customers come from far and wide to enjoy the best of british breakfasts, but the hot plates, refrigerators, ovens and tea makers all need power and when the source of that power goes wrong ease of access is of paramount importance.

Pete needed length and strength and subsequently with the help of the Chambrelan team he chose the RA5R - made from stainless steel section.  As one of Chambrelan's most tried and tested slides, this three beam nested slide has been designed to take incredible loads whilst delivering pay loads smoothly and securely.  Using a zinc plated finish this slide is incredibly durable and not only that, is easy to fit easy to maintain.

We caught up with Pete to find out how his experience was with Chambrelan - "I have to say," Peter confirmed, "i couldn't fault it.  Tony and the team were very helpful in identifying what i needed and i received the sides in a few days of ordering.  I'd definitely recommend Chambrelan to anyone who needs heavy duty slides or linear rail motion systems."  Peter Challis

Improved RA5R Increases Load Capacity Across the Board

Chambrelan UK have recently announced a huge increase of load capacity on all their range of RA5 heavy duty slides.  The improvements come after an increase in deflection was added, adding extra load capacity across the RA5 model, including the lock in and lock out versions and the duel lock in lock out model.

In practical terms what this means is an increase in strength.  For example, take an RA5 at 550mm with a load capacity of 125kg per pair, after increasing the deflection, the load capacity for the same length came to 176kg per pair, a huge improvement.

More strength means customers can now carry heavier loads without having to upgrade to a more expensive slide, which improves the cost performance ratio and delivers more performance per pound.  Modifications and upgrades on Chambrelan's range of heavy duty slides and linear rail motion systems are ongoing, with new products and developments being launched all the time.  

Indeed, from the press release we've received we can see a number of exciting developments coming up over the next few months, so keep your eyes skinned for new products on 110% Extension.
