Description
Professional Range slides are sold as singles. Order two units if a pair is required
The DTS-40 is a rugged, strong and very compact telescopic slide, which has been designed for load maximisation from a small space envelope. Particularly suited to industrial seating and military/emergency vehicle stowage, it has a wide range of applications where torsional strength is paramount. As this slide is also available in 316L stainless steel and non-corrosive aluminium formats, it is specified throughout the seating industry from aircraft interiors to marine, where product interchangeability by operational environment is paramount
This is an extreme load/duty, full extension telescopic slide (40-350 kg/pair). At 550mm 1 pair has a full extension load capacity of 350 kg. Constructed from cold drawn steel sections and fitted with caged ball bearings, the DTS-40 telescopic slide has an excellent level of resistance to shock and vibration when supporting a dynamic load in the closed position. Accordingly, this slide is well suited to mounting on vehicles. This is a very strong compact slide, utilising the I beam format, which offers high resistance against axial and coaxial torque loading. Resulting in minimal deflection at full extension and low operating forces.
Additional product variations can be produced with bespoke closed lengths, extensions, mounting options, surface treatments and stainless ball bearings/cages. The DTS-40 drawer slide may also be fitted in the minor axis (flat). However, the load capacity will be reduced by 60-80% of the stated loading. It can be supplied with a 120% extension which will reduce the load slightly. Please consult our sales engineers for this no cost option.
The production process is ISO9001-2015 accredited. Our steel telescopic slides are manufactured from cold drawn steel C45E+C in accordance with EN 10277. Laser cut ball cages are manufactured from zinc plated sheet metal, and the ball bearings are carbon steel C85 G100 in accordance with DIN 5401. Standard Professional Range steel slides are RoHS & REACH certified to withstand over 1,000 hours corrosion protection, until the appearance of red rust. This is due to the investment made in our own state of the art electrolytic alkaline zinc processing facility. Core steel C45 E+C, with a layer depth of 10-12 microns conforming to DIN EN ISO 9227 neutral salt spray testing. No white rust appearance within 120 hours. No red rust within 1,032 hours.
An individual slide weighs 5.66 kg per metre.
Prices are per single slide. Loadings are given per extended pair. There are two slides per pair. The DTS-40 is stocked across key lengths from 150mm to 2,000mm. For OEM volumes, please allow 5-6 weeks for manufacture or consult our sales engineers if a fast delivery is required. Our stock holding is constantly growing to meet customer demands.

I’ve been looking everywhere for a manufacturer of short heavy duty slider units for my industrial keyboards. To find the DTS40 from stock has solved a lot of issues. I have no minimum order and I rarely order more than a couple of pairs. I now take them in aluminium buy have to wait 4 weeks.
excellently informed website
Ian Jenks –
next day delivery on 4 pairs at 1 metre. Backed up by quality service. I would recommend this site. This is the third time with the same result
Andrew Massey –
Firstly, thank you to Colleen who arranged a very fast 9am delivery on 16 slides when another supplier let us down.The slides are heavy, compact in design and no doubt will last a very long time. At full load they show little sign of wear or deflection.

Brought this to repair a reclining chair, an overkill but it wont break again.
Very well made but did take a long time to arrive.

The 1200mm long slides were received the day after ordering. The online advice was returned immediately and throughout the process. They are working well and we expect to order more shortly

Work perfectly too with a massive safety margin

I have not seen any other product range which is so rugged and suited for industrial applications. We are fitting the 600mm length to working generators on catering vans. Always delivered from stock with a level of product knowledge. I can recommend this site and Sliding Systems
Lee Ball –
10 pairs delivered in 24 hours – I can highly recommend this site. The sales staff were knowledgeable when I called to reserve the stock. Delivery to Northern Ireland was £8 which is good value for money. I have used the DTS slides now on 3-4 projects and they work really efficiently under load from a compact design.
Jonathan Hager –
Thank you for an overnight delivery. The slides are fitted onto the truck and are working to full capacity. I will use this site again and recommend it totally.

I was about to order online and noticed that their factory is an hour’s drive and I needed some advice on a camper conversion. Jon is the technical director and he guided me through my options.
We settled on these DTS40 slides for the bed extension, some rolled steel slides for the generator and a very long linear rail in aluminium for another project.
I have to say that they really know their products and wasn’t surprised when I realised their main area of activity is train building and defence. I couldn’t have got this level of service anywhere else.

We also used this slide on a camper van bed. Have used a much lighter draw slide which broke after just a few weeks. After reading the review below, we contacted Promounts and they showed us how to remove bearings and make the slide extend further. We can now get 1050mm travel from an 850mm closed unit. The result is a double bed with a lot more leg room.
These slides are far stronger than anything else Ive seen on the market. Also the buying experience is much easier when following the technical detail in my own time.
Derek –
we’ve got these on a VW motorhome bed with a 20% over travel of the beams. Two of us can sit on the end with absolutely no droop. Have sent images for you to use on your blog.
Larry Haegar LPP Solutions –
This is a very good product. Delivery took two days. Sourcing metric sized bolts weren’t a problem. Dealt direct with Sliding Systems engineers, who provided excellent product support albeit from a distance

Dear Jon
Thank you very much for your very efficient and excellent service.
The rails safely arrived and I think will be ideal.

We have a company policy not to use European websites for buy online. We have now had four orders shipped on time and with excellent results. I can recommend Sliding Systems.

I was trying to purchase a set of slides late Wednesday night/ Thursday morning when I noticed a minor glitch on the site which forced me to send an e-mail enquiry. My enquiry was replied to within 20 min. and the site glitch was repaired within a further 30 min. allowing me to proceed with my order. ALL THIS AT 12AM TO 1AM IN THE MORNING. VERY IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. The slides arrived on my doorstop in Ireland Monday morning. Haven’t fitted slides yet but with service like this I’m confident that the product will preform as the backup is there.
