TrailRax Table slide - Available now!

[TrailRax]

Now available!​

We have been working on this for 2 years and those who follow us and know, have been chomping at the bit to get this product! We have tested many different revisions and designs that all accomplish our mission but we were never happy with it and it never felt perfect, until this one. This Table slide we have designed was designed from the ground up and now uses a completely proprietary extrusion profile that allows us to accomplish a 1.49" profile table slide that is designed to fit with our roof rack and similar roof racks that utilize 1020/ 80/20 style roof rack with those extrusions. We spent tons of hours working on making this a universal part to work for not just overlanders but for those who like the use of a table for their activities.

The table we used was specifically chosen due to a few factors. One, the table's profile, it is 29mm or just about an inch of profile which is one of the slimmest we can find available. Two, price and quality, at the price point when we were looking at it ($379.00 but now $439.00 due to tariffs) was as affordable as we can find for the high quality. Yes the table is not super cheap but from all of our testing, this table truly fits the bill for what we are looking for BUT we are exploring the options of making an American made table that fits the same profile. Three, table availability throughout the world, Alu Cab is well known throughout the whole world with dealers everywhere even in the USA, this allows us to just sell you the table slide and you pick up the table at your local Alu Cab dealer allowing you to save on shipping and have support if it is ever needed on the table, locally.

Something we wanted to focus on and take our products to the next level was to think "first out, last in". For those who know and have played tetris in organizing their gear in their trunk or bed know what we mean when we say this. Our focus was to allow you to have a table that was the first thing out of your vehicle to offer you a clean platform to unpack your gear onto the table AND also not have to dump your gear onto the ground so that you can put your table in your truck first because that is just "how it fits best in there". Now with this product, you can be "first out, last in". The table can come out first and be that platform to unpack but also be the last to put away in the vehicle so your gear stays off the ground.

I like the concept but I am completely turned off by the table price. Regardless of its quality, that is a stupidly high price. Source one without the gas struts - simple spring loaded braces like a classic card table work perfectly well and can’t leak. Use three legs and price it around $100 and I would approve. Four legs don’t work on anything but dead flat ground. Make sure there are large drain holes in each corner, I can image what would happen if you tried to deploy this table after a good rainfall. The table was intended to go under the roof of a canopy.

Does it fit tightly in the tracks and are there cushions or pads to keep it from banging up and down and rattling?

Like mentioned, we understand the price concern from many customers, it is something out of our control. We are reviewing USA made options that are hopefully going to be a cheaper option but not as blingy or cool as the alucab table. We will keep everyone updated on the developments of that.

Yes our design spent years working on a rattle free design that works with the manufacturing tolerances of the table as well as the manufacturing tolerances of the table slide from us. We incorporate a plastic extrusion piece that isolates the table from the slide then pressure fit two rubber bumpers that are adjustable on each end for a tight but manageable fitment for the table to slide in and out with ease.
