Introducing to the world…
The KUFU Drawer System has been in the design process since 2019. The concept of a quick release (Catch-and-Click™) system* that allowed drawers to be fitted and removed in seconds without tools was a major talking point, whether discussing vehicle builds or sitting around camp fires, so that became our focus.
After engaging Design and Industry a leader in their field of design for manufacture, we started out with the brief and then brainstormed many idea’s and designs until we settled on a unique and comprehensive compression moulded design that allowed flexibility in the tool for 6 lengths and 3 heights. Such a beast of a tool, we had to go offshore to have the tool built, trialled and parts produced, while the assembling and many other components are made in Geelong Australia. The design now provides a platform that would find interest from Defence, medical and large fleets due to the strength / weight ratio and fast fit capabilities.
Along with a quick release feature other considerations were light weight, internal and external lighting, sealed design for external use and all weather conditions, incremental locking points for drawer when opening to stop fully extending on inclines or running away on declines, anti-slip surface, 1 tonne load rating evenly distributed across drawer top and 150kg inside each drawer, smooth operation and full extension of drawer when open, modular to allow custom layout for stacking and different height configurations, built in retaining tracks for sliding eye bolts to secure loads and the optional false floor on the 280 and 460 drawers to allow water storage at low centre of gravity in a bladder or to hide valuable items, lockable and visually impressing to integrate with the current feel of the new vehicles.
The KUFU Drawer System is the bench mark of the vehicle storage solutions, we carry strong values of product design across our range and products, strong reliable functional products, tested to ADR 43/02 – General safety requirements for safety and peace of mind for recreational, fleets, mining, and defence and above all, to make your experience one that is organised and safe.
The Kufu drawers quick release on and off of the Kufu Vehicle Platform via small brackets on the platform called the "Catch and Click" system.
The platform utilizes a unique design which is both modular and adaptable. This allows the platform to be installed into a wide variety of vehicles, truck beds, trailer decks and so on.
Here is an overview of the process:
First, the platform is assembled:
After you have assembled the platform, the catch and click system is added to the platform on aluminum crossrails:
Using washers/spacers, install the platform into the vehicle so that it is level and square. Here is an example installed into the trunk of a SUV:
Here is an example installed into a truck bed:
Next, you simply drop your choice of drawer's onto the mounting platform, and they lock into place with heavy duty, crash tested pins. To remove them, simply actuate the pins (hidden behind the secure drawer face) and pull the drawer out again!
