The MSA 4X4 Accessories DS40 Fridge Drop Slide With Table lets you run a 40 L style fridge up high in the canopy and still drop it down roughly 300 mm to a decent working height. The slide pulls the fridge out about 800 mm so it clears tailgates and drawers and you can open the lid fully. The built-in table adds around 400 mm of bench in front which is handy for a cooker or chopping board on trips.

The frame uses steel around 3 mm thick so it can carry a fridge and roughly 40 kg of food on corrugated tracks without flex. Ball-bearing runners rated near 100 kg look after the slide movement and lock at full extension. Gas struts are matched to fridge weight so you are not wrestling the drop or lift every night. The metal table top at about 2 mm thick wipes down fast and shrugs off the usual campsite knocks.

Q: What fridge size works best with the DS40 Drop Slide?

The DS40 Drop Slide suits fridges around 40 litres in capacity. This footprint keeps the base within the side rails and allows the lid to open fully when dropped. Oversize fridges may hang over the frame or foul on surrounding drawers. Always measure your fridge base and compare it to the mounting tray before fitting.

Q: Can the slide be mounted on top of existing drawer systems?

Yes it can be mounted to a flat drawer top if the drawers are rated for the total fridge and slide weight. A solid timber or steel top spreads the load over the drawers. Check the drawer manufacturer’s load rating before installation. Use high tensile bolts and large washers or plates under the top to stop pull-through on corrugations.

Q: Does the table lock away when not in use?

Yes the table slides back under the fridge tray when packed away. A simple latch or stop keeps it from sliding out while driving. This means the table does not steal extra space in the canopy when you are packed up. You can still run the drop slide without deploying the table if space is tight at camp.

Q: Is the DS40 Drop Slide suitable for heavy off-road use?

Yes the construction and bearing runners are intended for regular off-road touring with a loaded fridge. Steel sections and multiple mounting points spread the load into the vehicle floor. Ball-bearing runners cope well with vibration when installed square and firmly bolted. Regular checks of mounting bolts and runner fasteners are recommended on long remote trips.
