Application Guide
Truck bed drawer systems hardware.
Truck bed drawers need slide hardware that stays controlled under load, vibration, dust, and repeated pull-out use. COREAX heavy-duty locking drawer slides are suited to cargo drawers, tool trays, fridge trays, and overland drawer platforms.
Application fit
Use heavy-duty side-mount locking slides when a truck drawer must pull out fully, stay closed while driving, and remain stable while open on uneven ground. Start with bed platform depth, loaded drawer weight, side clearance, and release access.
What to check
Loaded drawer weightInclude the drawer box, tools, recovery gear, camping equipment, fridge contents, and repeated dynamic movement.
Platform depthSlide length should match the usable drawer depth without interfering with the tailgate, frame, or bed cover.
Lock behaviorLock-in helps keep the drawer closed while driving. Lock-out helps keep a tray steady while loading or cooking.
Frame alignmentBoth slide mounting surfaces must stay parallel, square, and rigid through the full travel path.
Release accessWide drawers may need single-side release so one person can unlock the system without reaching both rails.
ExposurePlan for dust, vibration, road moisture, and cleaning access around the slide and mounting hardware.

- Measure bed depth, drawer box length, and tailgate clearance.
- Confirm side clearance before building the final drawer box.
- Test lock-in and lock-out before loading cargo.
- Leave access to release levers after the platform is assembled.
- Check interference with fridge lids, bed covers, tie-downs, and cargo dividers.
