Chambrelan Storms Australia

Heavy Duty Slides, Heavy Duty Interest

The French based manufacturer of heavy duty slides and linear rail motion systems has just returned from a whistlestop tour of Australia's leading trade shows, namely the AIMEX Mining show and AFAC Australian Fire show.

With big changes expected after the recent general elections and next years local elections business might be slower than expected, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Ever since the Mining Tax and the Carbon tax which effects both markets, investment in new mines and vehicles has slowed to a fraction of what they were only two years ago," reveals Jeremy Binnington, Director of Chambrelan UK.

Indeed with the market opening and AFAC opening it's doors to end users for the first time, rather than vehicle builders and suppliers, the flood gates, so it seems have opened and for the first time Australia is able to access a range of quality heavy duty slides and linear rail motion systems, enjoyed by their European counterparts.

"To be honest we had a great show," adds Jeremy.  "Although the market is awash with low cost slides, these products are not strong enough or durable enough to cope with the extreme conditions expected of their cheaper and less well built counterparts.  Chambrelan's heavy duty drawer slides and linear rails  have had a huge amount of interest.  I expect after the local elections next year we'll see serious growth in Australia."

We'll keep you posted with any new vehicle build stories or case studies that come in from Australia, in the meantime if you're looking for a range of heavy duty drawer slides and linear rails visit www.chambrelan.co.uk

New Door Runner for ALE Heavy Lift

When Scan Cab, a danish re-fitter and engineering needed to modernise their Gottwald AK912 for ALE Heavy Lift after four years of heavy use, it was found that they needed to refurbish the operators cab door which could no longer safely and securely work and the door had begun to sag and new linear rails and carriers were needed.

Graham Roberts, ALE's Crane Superintendant was given the job to find the replacements and with a short lead time Graham contacted Chambrelan directly.

The door used the E28 rail and G40 carrier, which uses a series of recirculating ball bearings which 'glides' the carrier easily and efficiently even when carrying extreme loads

We caught up with Graham Roberts to find out his feedback, "Chambrelan's customer service is top class, from speaking with Tony through to having the parts delivered was within seven days.  Excellent, i can't fault it."

Heavy Duty Slide Brand Launches Linearrails.co.uk

Chambrelan, the French based manufacturers of heavy duty slides have given us a sneak preview of the launch of a new brand Linearrails.co.uk which is set to go online over the coming weeks.

The new brand will be dedicated to selling a selection of Chambrelan's most popular rails and carriers.  The initial range has been hand picked to deliver to the light duty, the medium duty and heavy duty requirements of UK and Australian markets.

"We believe our linear rails need a stand alone platform by which they can grow and I think many customers overlook our incredible range of linear rails because they are over shadowed by our telescopic range," confirms Jeremy Binnington.

All our linear rails use our unique range of Chambrelan's very own re-circulating ball bearing carriers, which - unlike other carriers, spread loads equally and efficiently, whilst allowing a smoother movement.

The new launch will allow customers a greater access to Chambrelan's linear rail products at the touch of the button, whilst retaining the same quality and service you'd expect from our telescopic slides.

Although the launch of the new site hasn't been announced we are told it will be online in the next few months.  100% Extension will be reviewing and announcing the launch as and when we receive the news.

Until then for more information on our linear rails or telescopic heavy duty slides please contact www.chambrelan.co.uk
