What makes the BEDSLIDE 1000 better?
This is just the question we posed when creating the BEDSLIDE 1000. There are a few straight forward improvements on the BEDSLIDE 1000. First we started out with the 1000 frame itself. The 1000 is made from Laser cut framed steel providing a smoother surface for the bearings compared to the structural steel used in the SR10. Next, we looked at the bearings themselves. We added two cam-roller bearings to the front of the BEDSLIDE where most weight stress is. These have a 4400lb static load rating. Not only will this improve the performance but also the life of the bearings. The BEDSLIDE 1000 latching system also has great improvements. We use a dual pin latching system that makes the BEDSLIDE 1000 stiffer in the locked positions and spreads the impact of slamming the BEDSLIDE shut among two pins. The handle used for this latch is user friendly and works well with the grab bar.
Aside from these structural improvements, BEDSLIDE 1000 has added features that you will be hard pressed to find on competitor’s product. First, our extruded aluminum side track system. The track system allows users to easily and quickly remove the side containment walls for access when loading and unloading. Second, the track system comes standard with 4 tie-downs allowing you to strap equipment directly to your BEDSLIDE 1000. This way you can keep part of your load strapped and still use your BEDSLIDE to access the other cargo behind it. Finally, the track system is a platform for optional accessories allowing you to use the BEDSLIDE 1000 your way.
So why is the weight capacity of the SR10 higher than the BEDSLIDE 1000?
The BEDSLIDE 1000 was designed with various uses in mind and also with high tech aesthetic styling. Most consumers looking to purchase a BEDSLIDE have half ton trucks. These trucks have a load rating of 1000lbs. The SR10 has a weight capacity of 1200lbs, but the BEDSLIDE 1000 conforms to the load rating demands on most consumer vehicles. So which product is better? Hands down the BEDSLIDE 1000 has more features making it the better product. However, if price is an issue the SR10 is a great product that has been tried and true for many years.
Whatever model BEDSLIDE you choose, make it the original BEDSLIDE and GET TO IT!
