RIBBED ANGLE GLIDES FOR SQUARE AND RECTANGULAR TRAVERSES
Material : PE
Colour : Black
Dimensions : mm

Office furniture and lightweight industrial structures very often feature sled-shaped bases made from angular profiles. The sled for square and rectangular tubes has been specifically engineered to fit the straight edges and flat surfaces of this type of framework. Unlike models designed for cylindrical tubes, this protector features a right-angled jaw, ensuring a snug, play-free fit around the metal base of your furniture. This glide becomes an essential component for protecting the structure and preserving the integrity of your workspaces.

The geometric design of this component effectively prevents any risk of unintended rotation about the tube’s axis. Once clipped or screwed onto the square section, the glider remains perfectly positioned, ensuring that the friction pad is always in direct contact with the floor. Made from synthetic resin or reinforced polymer, it effectively absorbs the shock waves generated when someone sits down abruptly, thereby relieving stress on the furniture’s welded joints. Furthermore, the surface in contact with the floor covering is often textured or slightly domed to minimise friction, making it easier to pull out visitor chairs, which are often very heavy.

This technical fitting is found on desks with side clearance, stackable training tables and architectural reception benches. By preventing metal from scraping against hard floors or carpets, you eliminate the risk of costly damage. Fitting is usually carried out by simply snapping the fitting firmly into place beneath the base. To select the correct part number, it is essential to measure the external width of your profile’s support surface accurately. This rectangular wrap-around glide secures your installations, ensures reliable support and provides an extremely neat visual finish to your corner structures.
