Engineered Solution
Genesis™ gas springs are not a commodity product. They are engineered to meet a set of exacting standards for safety, ergonomics, and performance. All the while, they are priced aggressively allowing for a competitive end product.
Our product offering includes low profile, extra heavy duty steel slides with full extension rated up to 1,100 and 770 lbs. respectively; a corrosion resistant aluminum slide that is exceptionally strong with a rating of up to 660 lbs.; and a 4-member steel slide with over-travel up to 150% extension rates at up to 440 lbs.
Our patented Front Drawer Release (FDR) & Genesis Drawer Release Pro/Lite are the perfect solutions for mobile storage situations, as seen in emergency/rescue vehicles, cargo vans, maintenance trucks, and utility vehicles, where working on level ground is not always possible, subsequently requiring a drawer that can lock in both the open and closed positions.

Additional Features and Benefits of the Drawer Release Pro:
Simple and sleek, this drawer release is more than functional - it’s intentional. The Drawer Release Pro installs directly to Austin’s 7650 drawer slides using standard zinc plated 1/4-20 bolts and a self-locating nut. The Genesis™ Drawer Release system does not require a pro to properly install. Paired with our 7650 drawer slides, this install is quick and easy. Designed to give the user a convenient one-handed operation similar to our Front Drawer Release (FDR) system. One kit and you’re all set. This is the cost-effective functional drawer release option you’ve been looking for.
Also available in a knurled aluminum extrusion handle

"Since my company entered into a vendor managed inventory program with Austin, our service levels and in-stock position on our parts have never been better. We consolidated 23 suppliers down to one, Austin.
Now we only have one invoice to review, one shipment to check in and we are in stock 99% of the time! Austin has one of the best customer service teams we work with, I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to take control of their inventory and be sure to have the parts you need on the shelves!"
Gary from Ohio
"I wanted to send along some great news. We have experienced a few problems with shipping over the years, but the solutions that you put in place over the last few weeks have been very positive. On another note, Tom and Emma, the Vendor Managed Inventory team that I have been working with, have done a great job responding to concerns and questions in a timely fashion. That fact is another reason our VMI program is successful and getting stronger every day. Our overall numbers continue to increase and we are looking forward to the growth in 2017."
