Linear technology for wall cabinets in food trucks

drylin® N in the food truck

Weatherproof and space-saving

A normal truck was converted into a food truck by Nomes srl. Various goods can be sold there, such as pizza, hamburgers, ice cream and much more. Sliding and hanging cabinets for the sale of goods are mounted on the ceiling of the truck. The elements can be variably adjusted using the drylin® N linear system. Sliding a cabinet element in the rear position ensures a perfect view of the rear-view mirror and side window for the driver of the vehicle; adjusting it in the front position, on the other hand, makes it possible to cover the driving area during sales hours and significantly increase the display area for the goods on sale.

Problem

The big challenge is to develop a food truck that can be used outdoors in all weathers. It is also important that it is simple and easy to handle in order to store the goods and display them for the customer. To save space and ensure easy handling, a simple attachment for ceiling mounting is required. This allows the goods to be stored in the food truck in a space-saving manner and at the same time makes them easily accessible.

Solution

With the use of drylin® N low-profile guide system and xiros® ball bearings from igus®, the problems of a food truck that is weather-resistant and at the same time simple and easy to handle can be solved efficiently and reliably. The products offer high resistance to weather influences, simple and smooth movement of the storage racks through the ceiling mounting and space-saving, easily accessible storage of the goods. Assembly is quick and easy and allows flexible customisation to individual requirements. Thanks to different sizes and customised configuration options in the online configurator, drylin® N can be optimally adapted to the respective requirements and is completely lubrication-free. Overall, the drylin® N linear guide is characterised by its flat design, reliability and user-friendliness. It offers an efficient cost-effective solution for the food truck. This makes it an optimal solution for the sale of food and beverages outdoors.
