The Role One Hospital Systems required a specialist sliding system for the external 500kVA generators and Air Conditioning Units (ACU). The sliding system needed to be strong enough to cope with the 1600kg 500kVA generators and also provide an easy pull-out motion for maintenance access.

Client Brief: Anteon provide mobile tactical shelters for the defence industry. These tactical shelters come with numerous additional pieces of support equipment that need to be securely fastened for land, sea and air delivery. Anteon needed a secure, reliable stowage facility that could tie down kit whilst in transit.
GSF Promount the fast lock and instant release tool mounting system has the flexibility to store various pieces of kit without configuring or redesigning the storage space. Benefits: Promount is a fast lock instant release tool mounting system, which, being made from high grade polypropylene, doesn’t scratch or damage goods in transit. The tool mounts are flexible, easy to fit and can easily be changed in line with new equipment updates. Feedback: “Promount is a rugged, robust tool mount that saves us time and money by offering a quick fit, easy solution without the storage design costs. Were very happy with Promount and Anteon now use Promount as standard across the company.” David Sandeman, Senior Design Engineer at Anteon. Links:
Firstly a cost effective slide that could still provide an extension of up to 1400mm and cope with a 75kg load for the Utility Spec Vehicle. And secondly a more rugged slide system that was able to provide a full extension of 1700mm and cope with a full load capacity of 90kg for the Fire Sector. GSF Solution: The GSF Container slide was an ideal solution for the Utility Spec Vehicle. This 3 beam, full extension, general purpose drawer slide is engineered from cold rolled steel for extra strength. “Cost effective and able to withstand heavy loads the Container slide was perfect, exactly what we needed” John Mcgauley, Director, Pickup Systems.

Client Brief: Heskin Fabrication’s client, on winning a new scoreboard contract at Rangers Football Club, asked them to design and build a steel frame to house the sixteen one metre-square PC boards, but experience told the designers at Heskin that a machine lever system would be too dangerous to operate at such height. As such, the company’s team of engineers realized they needed a manual slide system, which, not only had a strong load capacity and was easy to repair, but also allowed maintenance crews access to the electronics. GSF Solution: The GSF’s RA7R telescopic slide, made from drawn steel sections and caged carbon ball bearings, has been designed for exactly this type of heavy-duty load. With load ratings from 340kg for 300mm closed length to 130kg for 1500mm at full extension GSF’s RA7R was strong enough to slide the screens manually. Benefits: Since a mechanical system couldn’t be used to ‘kick out’ the screens a smooth draw system was needed to make access possible. GSF telescopic slides and linear motion systems are renowned for their high strength and ease of use, meaning a more safer and secure load capacity on shorter rails. Feedback: “The only we had to fit the steel frame was during a Rangers away game; subsequently deadlines were tough, but GSF delivered their slides and made adjustments within that the time frame; they did a great job.” Jon Finnan, Design Engineer / Head of Industrial Design, Heskin Fabrications.

Marshall Land Systems’ Role One Hospital systems are small surgical and emergency treatment facilities based on the ISO 20 ft footprint, capable of easy transportation in military cargo aircraft or by vehicle. They are normally deployed in rough and difficult locations close to the front line fighting troops. 
GSF Solution
GSF Solution: Within Anteon’s mobile systems various pieces of support equipment are required to be securely stowed including sledgehammers, earth rods, tools and chairs. This equipment needed a range of tool mounts that were exceptionally strong and would not damage the products they were transporting/securing. 
With the creation of the Rapid Intervention Vehicle (RIV), specifically for the fire sector, it was soon apparent that they needed two separate slide systems. 
For the RIV’s larger drawer size and greater load capacity GSF suggested the 
Client: Denney Equestrian 
Client Brief: For professional carriage drivers Sue Denney and Simon Willis lead an exhausting lifestyle. As British champions their business is racing, which means six months every year they are on the road living in a horsebox. Apart from obvious restrictions like lack of amenities, the weather and the practicalities of running a successful business on the road, they needed a horsebox that was more than just a home. To overcome the numerous problems Dan Twitchin, from Principle Horse Boxes, decided to add an extra large single cabin, designed to contain the bathroom, which meant dropping the extend on both sides of the vehicles. The team decided that they would operate the extendable pod via hydraulics. Once extended an additional 9sqm of space was added to the vehicle. The problem was finding a slide strong enough to take the weight and that could be easily repairable. 
designed for exactly this type of heavy-duty load. The triple bar-design means it is strong enough to take heavy punishment and be constantly reliable in harsh environments.
