Telescopic slides for the Defense and Military Technology Industry.
Precision heavy-duty telescopic rails for military applications, also available in RAL6031 matt.
SCHOCK® develops and produces high-quality telescopic rails for demanding applications in the defense and security industry. Our heavy-duty extensions impress with high load capacities, maximum reliability, and precise running characteristics, even under extreme operating conditions.

Thanks to our high vertical integration, we develop and produce telescopic slides from profile manufacturing to ready-to-install assemblies. This results in customized solutions for military vehicles, mobile systems, communication equipment, and maintenance and logistics technology.
Telescopic Slide Set Series 048 up to 150 kg/pair including platform brackets powder-coated in RAL6031 matt (Olive Green)
Telescopic Slides for the Highest Demands
Applications in the defense industry place particularly high demands on drawer systems. High shock and vibration loads, extreme temperatures, as well as dust, moisture, and corrosion require durable and reliable components.
SCHOCK® heavy-duty telescopic slides offer high torsional rigidity, precise guidance, and a long service life. Depending on the application, versions with locking mechanisms, quick release, over-extension, or special profiles can be realized.

FAQ - Telescopic Slides for the Defense Industry
What load capacities are possible?
Depending on the series and application, load capacities from a few kilograms to several tons can be realized.
Why powder-coated telescopic slides in the defense industry?
Powder-coated camouflage colors reduce reflections and improve the optical integration of vehicles, containers, and technical equipment systems. At the same time, the powder coating reliably protects the surface from corrosion, abrasion, and weathering.
RAL 6031 Matt (Bronze Green) is excellent for applications where an inconspicuous, low-reflection surface is desired. RAL 9011 Matt (Graphite Black) impresses with its subtle appearance and is often used for technical assemblies and drawer systems. Both coatings offer a high-quality, durable surface with reduced gloss level.
Can customized solutions be developed?
Yes. SCHOCK® develops individual telescopic slides for special installation spaces, loads, and requirements.
Are locking mechanisms available?
Yes. Depending on the application, locking mechanisms in closed and open positions, as well as other functional options, are available.
What materials are available?
Depending on the application area, steel, stainless steel, or aluminum are used.
Are special lengths possible?
Yes. In addition to standard dimensions, customized lengths and extension solutions can be realized.
