Abstract
A cantilevered sliding trolley to house a full-sized truck tool box or similar. The slide hardware is behind the toolbox. This allows complete exposure of the tool box to the user.
A pair of J shaped tracks are mounted to an outer frame. Treated lumber, 2×6 Inch fir or like being used for the frame. Weatherproof rollers 2 Inches or more in diameter suspend the trolley system slide.
A single cable and spring is attached at the roller axle. It absorbs the shock of fully opening and slamming closed.
A 12 Inch section of the J material is mounted upside down at the leading edge of the trolley frame. This relieves torque on the trolley frame when in the closed position.
The Big Drawer assemblies can be mounted laterally or longitudinally. The tool box can move to exposure along it'"'"'s long or short axis.
