Extreme Duty Telescopic Slides 2,000 – 3,000 kg

When a standard heavy duty slide is not enough: telescopic systems that carry more than two tonnes per extended pair — designed with calculations, not guesswork.

Few manufacturers build slides for two tonnes and more

Most catalogue ranges stop between 1,500 and 2,500 kg. FEDS designs and builds telescopic slides with load ratings up to 3,000 kg, including configurations that carry more than 2,000 kg per extended pair — for rail vehicles, battery systems, heavy trays and custom machinery.

At these loads the slide becomes a structural component. Deflection, mounting stiffness, operating force and safety factors must be designed together with the surrounding construction.

How we engineer extreme duty slides

  • Load and deflection calculation for your exact mounting orientation and centre of gravity
  • FEA simulation of profiles and mounting points where required
  • Laser-hardened running surfaces with a tough core for long service life
  • Prototype, push/pull testing and dimensional inspection before serial production
  • Material traceability and inspection documentation with every order
03

Length, extension and material

Extreme duty slides are available as full extension and over-extension designs and — for access from both sides — as bidirectional slides. C45 E+C steel gives the highest capacity; Duplex stainless steel 1.4462 combines high strength with corrosion resistance where the environment is harsh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a telescopic slide really carry 3,000 kg?

Yes — FEDS manufactures telescopic slides with load ratings up to 3,000 kg. The usable capacity depends on extension, mounting orientation and whether the load is static or dynamic, so we confirm every extreme duty application with a calculation.

Do you calculate deflection?

Yes. Load and deflection calculations and, where needed, FEA simulation are part of our engineering service for heavy and custom slides.

Which material is best for extreme loads?

C45 E+C precision steel with laser-hardened raceways gives the highest load capacity. For corrosive environments, Duplex stainless steel 1.4462 offers higher strength than 316L.
