Every gram on board is budgeted, and everything that moves has to keep working under vibration, temperature swings and decades of duty. The VT range delivers full-extension access at the best stiffness-to-weight ratio in the catalogue.

Typical mounting points across the industry — each one a sized, catalogued VT configuration.
Full-extension slides for stowage modules, crew-rest units and cargo accessories.
Slim rails run ovens, drawers and standard units inside tight galley envelopes.
Racked LRUs extracted for test and swap with repeatable, play-free travel.
Tool trays, test-rig drawers and maintenance platforms on heavy-duty sets.
Instrumentation pull-outs and umbilical mechanisms on preloaded rails.
Slide-out racks, workstations and weapon-accessory stowage — shock-rated.
The engineering constraints that drive series selection — and how the VT range answers them.
Structure that moves is structure that weighs. VT-X's I-beam intermediate maximises stiffness per kilogram, keeping full extension inside the weight budget.
Equipment must stay seated through engine and gust spectra. Zero-clearance standard and K1 preload eliminate play; external end stops secure fast or automatic motion.
From cold cargo bays to equipment bays near bleed lines: −20…+170 °C rating with temperature greases and finish options to match.
Start with these families; the configurator weighs your exact load, stroke and length against the whole range.
The load-to-weight champion: I-beam intermediate, 100 % extension, sizes 22–63 — the default for airborne pull-outs.
Slimmest section in the range for galley and rack envelopes, minimal deflection fully extended.
Configurable heavy-duty sets for ground-support equipment, shelters and test infrastructure.
Range-wide execution options relevant to this industry.
Its I-beam intermediate member delivers the highest stiffness and capacity per added kilogram in the range, so full-extension access fits inside a flight weight budget. Capacities are quoted per pair of rails.
Zero-clearance running is standard and K1 preload removes residual play; we provide the mechanical data (materials, masses, capacities, moments) needed for your qualification campaign and recommend external end stops for automatic motion.
The rails are cold-drawn, induction-hardened steel with documented coatings; material and finish declarations for airworthiness or defense-standard paperwork are provided on request.
Yes — custom lengths (within the family's ball-cage step), hole patterns and finishes are regular special orders; the configurator or an inquiry with your envelope gets you a part number and 3D model.
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.
