Rear drawers reinvented – the ultimate one-hand comparison for your van adventure
Share
Know this feeling? You're at the spot, the sun is setting, and you want to quickly grab the stove, coffee pot, or cooler. Instead of rummaging through the cargo area, you just pull out the drawer – done.
That's exactly what our tailgate slides make possible. Made from 3 mm powder-coated aluminum and steel, load-bearing up to 200 kg, mounted in minutes to the original seat rails – no drilling required. And: our slides aren't just used under 040 parts, they're also deployed as an OEM product by well-known manufacturers. So you're getting real pro quality.
One-Hand Tailgate Slides – Full Control with Just One Hand
When loading and unloading, you rarely have both hands free. That's exactly what our one-hand tailgate slides are for: one handle, one pull – and everything's there. The differences are mainly in depth and width.
| Model | Vehicle | Depth / Use | Width (internal) | Eurobox Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-Hand 700 mm | T5 / T6 / T6.1 California | 700 mm – no interior loss | approx. 937 mm | 1 box in depth + wiggle room |
| One-Hand 750 mm | T5 / T6 / T6.1 California | 750 mm – good compromise | approx. 937 mm | 1 box + extra space |
| One-Hand 800 mm | T5 / T6 / T6.1 California | 800 mm – maximum storage | approx. 937 mm | 2 boxes in a row |
| One-Hand 800 mm – T7 Ocean / Coast | T7 New California Ocean & Coast | 800 mm – narrow for kitchen | approx. 797 mm | 2 boxes in a row |
| One-Hand 800 mm – T7 Beach / Multivan | T7 New California Beach & Multivan | 800 mm – extra wide | approx. 1 150 mm | 2 boxes in a row |
| One-Hand 950 mm – T7 Beach Camper | T7 California Beach Camper | 950 mm – full depth without sliding | approx. 950 mm | 2 boxes in a row |
| One-Hand 950 mm – T7 Beach Tour | T7 California Beach Tour | 950 mm – full depth without sliding | approx. 950 mm | 2 boxes in a row |
Note: At 800 mm and 950 mm depth, two Euroboxes fit in a row. At 700 mm and 750 mm, one box in depth plus extra room for bags & equipment.
Why One-Hand?
Whether it's a surfboard, drink crate, or kids' stuff – most of the time you only have one hand free. The one-hand release saves time, nerves, and makes the tailgate slide simply everyday practical.
Classic Tailgate Slides – The Alternative
Our classic tailgate slides are still available for anyone who wants it as simple as possible. Technically they're identical, just without the one-hand mechanism.
Van Life Tip
Our clear recommendation: 800 mm. This way you use the available space optimally and can fit two Euroboxes in a row underneath.
For T5–T6.1, you should briefly test beforehand whether you can move your bench seat about 3–4 cm forward, so that the table and rear storage compartment remain easily accessible.
Conclusion
A tailgate slide is one of those conversions you find yourself wondering why you didn't do it sooner. With our one-hand models, your van becomes more organized, more relaxed – and simply a bit cooler.
