Air Borne

Aluminium slides are generally specified for most air borne applications as they provide a light but rugged interface for applications that are sensitive to excessive mass.

Ship Borne

Applications can range from slide based storage systems, lockers and furniture, through rack mounted electronic components, and onto operational and weapon systems requiring linear movement. If required products manufactured from high grade stainless steel can be supplied offering highest levels of corrosion resistance and low magnetic signatures.

Slide and Tilt

 Also referred to as Tip-Down, GSF's award winning slide and tilt system facilitates safe access to high-bay equipment stowage drawers on fire engines, and indeed other applications such as military vehicles and static storage and racking systems.

Slide Drawers

Solid section steel slides lengths from 300mm to 2,000mm for pull-out equipment drawers. Extensions from 50% to 150% of closed length can be supplied, in addition slide systems that offer sequential dual extension with bi-directional travel allowing the drawer to extened from either side of the vehicle. This enables rescue crews to access vital equipment quickly and safely, regardless of the vehicle's orientation to the emergency scene.

Systems

Our range of reinforced heavy duty steel slides fitted with additional ball tracks and reinforceing ball bearings are ideally suited for use in some of the more unique applications. Together with a range of slides designed using a rigid "I" beam construction our products offer execelent performance under conditions that may exert high direct and tortional loadings as experienced in such applications as pull-out equipment boards and vertical shelves.

Trays

Following extensive testing on selected models GSF slides are used by the U.K.'s leading producers of complete equipment carriers. These complete tray systems are ready for quick installation, including bespoke mountings for specialist equipment such as auxilliary pumps, tools, hoses and rescue equipment.

Lock-in and lock-out mechanisms facilitate quick and safe operation of the equipment carrier, as well as hold the fully-loaded drawer securely in position when the vehicle is in motion or at the scene.

Merchant Vessels

Applications can range from slide based storage systems, lockers and furniture, through rack mounted electronic compenents, and onto operational systems requiring linear movement.

Whether specifying product for a 19" electronic rack or to mount standby generator, the telescopic slide system needs to retain rigidity and be safe to operate despite ship motion and vibration.

GSF's range includes heavy duty stainless steel slides (partial or full extension), and can be bespoke engineered with a range of options in respect of surface hardening, strengthening and corrosion resistant finishes to ensure flawless operation in the chosen application.

With its extensive expertise and design capability GSF can work closely with your own engineering team to design and produce complete drawer sub-assemblies, taking account of all the special characteristics required for the product to work effectively in the marine environment.

Oil Rigs

Telescopic Slide components for storage and equipment stowage areas; Slide and linear rail components for operational machinery.  Whilst offshore installations are generally static structures and so do not require the telescopic slide components to be able to withstand the same dynamic forces, issues of corrosion and the ability to operate reliably in the marine environment remain unchanged.

From high precision roller-bearing slides and systems through to standard stainless steel slides for use in staff accomodation areas, GSF is able to provide expert input and select an appropriate product from its range to match the application.

 

7. Tool Mounts

Where tools are to be transported in a vehicle, it is necessary to hold those tools securely on a tool boad or in a drawer and to make them quickly and easily accesible when they are needed.

GSF now offers the superb PAC range of toolmounts. Generally made from supertuff nylon and glass reinforced plastics, GSF's toolmount range is both non-corrosive and high strength - most components are fully tested to 9g and in some cases to over 80g, holding the relevant tool securely throughout the test. The range includes positive locking tool holders such as the Jumbolok, friction lock tools such as the Flexmount, and an extensive range of hangers for axes, and sledgehammers,and other products such as the innovative CylinderMate for SCBA cylinders.

Our PAC products are available to BUY online now at gsf-promounts.com
