How to choose drawers and fridge slides
Drawers and fridge slides turn a tub or cargo area into organised, reachable storage. Measure first, then match the slide to your fridge.
- Measure the space
Drawer systems are made for specific vehicles and tub or cargo sizes. Check the listing's fitment and dimensions against your vehicle.
- Match slide and fridge
Choose a slide rated for your fridge's loaded weight and with a tray big enough for its footprint. Drop slides lower the fridge so you can reach into it.
- Strap it down
Secure the fridge to the slide with proper tie-downs; MSA recommends cam straps.
- Seats in a wagon
Removing seats for drawers needs no VASS certificate unless it changes the vehicle's category, but VicRoads must be told when an adult seat is permanently removed (VSI 19).
Choosing a fridge slide
The right fridge slide comes down to three things: the size and weight of your fridge, where it sits in the vehicle, and how easily you want to reach it. Measure your fridge with its cover on, and check the slide's rated capacity covers the fridge plus contents, because a fully loaded fridge weighs far more than an empty one.
Standard slides pull the fridge out for access, while drop slides lower it as well, which makes a real difference in high canopies or wagons with tall cargo setups. Clearview's range runs from the Easy Slide series through to the larger Power Slide, with extras like cable savers and pantry units, so most layouts are covered.

Common questions
Do I need to tell VicRoads if I take seats out for drawers?
Yes, if an adult seat is removed permanently. You don't need a VASS certificate unless the change alters the vehicle's category, and taking a seat out temporarily is fine if the seatbelts stay and airbags aren't affected (VSI 19).
Drop slide or straight slide?
A straight slide pulls the fridge out at the same height. A drop slide also lowers it, which makes a tall fridge easier to reach into from a high tub or cargo floor.
What load can a fridge slide take?
Each slide has its own rating; check the product's specifications against your fridge's full weight.
