From a 250 °C oven interior to a −20 °C freezer drawer, kitchen hardware works at the temperature extremes of the catalogue — under grease, steam and cleaning chemicals. VT rails are specified for exactly this span.
Professional commercial kitchen with stainless steel worktops, combi ovens and refrigeration drawers
Typical mounting points across the industry — each one a sized, catalogued VT configuration.
High-temperature slides bring rack trolleys and trays fully out of the chamber.
Full-extension drawers at −20 °C with greases that stay smooth in the cold.
Heavy mixers and slicers stored below deck, presented at working height.
Slide-out shelves and warming-drawer mechanisms in front-of-house units.
Vibration-proof drawers and equipment trays for mobile kitchens.
Service pull-outs for canisters, hoppers and cooling assemblies.
The engineering constraints that drive series selection — and how the VT range answers them.
The same drawer hardware family has to work beside the oven and inside the freezer. VT families (except rubber-stopped VT-S at +80 °C) run −20…+170 °C, with temperature greases on request.
Degreasers and sanitisers strip ordinary finishes. Zinc-nickel, nickel or E-coat plus stainless balls keep raceways sound; FDA greases keep it food-compliant.
A loaded GN-rack pull-out weighs like machinery. Per-pair capacities and closed torsion-resistant profiles carry it without racking the cabinet.
Start with these families; the configurator weighs your exact load, stroke and length against the whole range.
Partial extension rated to +170 °C — the oven-side choice, compact and extremely stiff, with FDA grease options.
Closed square profile shrugs off torsion from off-centre drawer loads — full 100 % extension, sizes 22–43.
I-beam full extension for heavy warming drawers and appliance pull-outs — high capacity, low added weight.
Range-wide execution options relevant to this industry.
VT-P, VT-X, VT-O and VT-L are rated to +170 °C with high-temperature greases available. For duty directly in the baking chamber we review the thermal cycle and recommend the execution; VT-S (rubber stops, +80 °C) stays outside the hot zone.
FDA-grade greases are a catalogue option, combined with nickel / zinc-nickel surfaces and stainless balls for wash-down environments — all encoded in the part-number suffix.
Yes — the range is rated to −20 °C, and cold-specific greases keep pull-out force low so drawers don't stick at temperature.
Full 100 % extension is standard for VT-O, VT-X and VT-S; VT-S one-way can reach 130 % on request so containers lift out vertically without fouling the counter.
Send the payload, stroke and envelope, or let the configurator narrow the range first. Our team returns a sized series, deflection estimate and 3D model — prototypes in under 14 days.
