Advantages
Built for the kerbside, not the brochure
Bodybuilders get a finished unit. Crews get lock-in when closed, lock-out when working, and trays that still move after a wet night.
Lock-in / lock-out
Stays shut on the road. Stays out when the crew is working the tray. Up to 350 kg in fire appliance lockers.
Slide & tilt
High lockers come down to the operator. Same aluminium tray family as the straight slide.
Payload first
Lightweight high-capacity design. Plastic bearings and aluminium sections keep the weight off the axle.
No rust option
Load Buddy uses plastic, aluminium and stainless only — no mild steel in the pickup tray.
One-hand pickup
Load Buddy is lock-in / lock-out with one-hand operation. Retro-fit or new fleet.
UK manufactured
Designed, moulded and assembled in Oswestry. SolidWorks if the locker is non-standard.
UK & EU bodies
Specified into UK fire appliances and EN 1846-2 locker / drawer stowage on European rescue vehicles.
Product range
Two families. Same factory.
Fire appliance lockers and pickup trays share the lock-in / lock-out idea. The hardware is built for each vehicle.

European Union
EN 1846 appliance stowage
EN 1846-2 covers firefighting and rescue vehicle bodies, including lockers, drawers and stowage trays. We supply the drawer hardware into that body — we do not certificate the vehicle.
- EN 1846-2 — body, storage and access; locker / drawer stowage
- EN 1846-3 — permanently installed equipment on the appliance
- Metric capacities (kg) and millimetre envelopes on every quote
We will not print “EN 1846 certified” on a drawer. The standard sits on the complete vehicle. Ask for the locker layout and we will draw the tray to it.
