From the tropics to the tundra:
runners and hinges from
Hettich are designed to with-
stand extreme temperatures in
hot ovens and icy freezers, and
the water and detergents in
dishwashers. The promodul
team at Hettich America has
an impressive list of reference
applications. A testimony to
the ability of durable and
highly functional fittings to
add extra value in kitchen
appliances.
Hot, wet
or cold
Hettich… at home in
good appliances
Major appliance manufacturers,
including BSH, Dacor, Marvel, Sub-
Zero, U-Line Viking and Whirlpool, set
great store by quality and functionality.
Quadro runners do well on both counts,
performing impeccably, year in year out,
in refrigerators and freezers, ovens and
dishwashers. Full or partial extension
ball-bearing runners are used in many
ovens. They move hot and heavy loads
in fine style and perfect safety. Runners
for baking sheets with stop control help
to prevent accidents with hot dishes.
Runners unclip quickly for cleaning and
can be replaced just as easily.
There are special hinges for refrigerator
doors with an integrated spring
mechanism that ensures the door is
properly closed.
Special height-adjustable, stainless
steel runners for dishwasher racks
make it easier to stack tableware in
the dishwasher. The self-closing option,
with its slow and gentle closing action,
provides extra protection for fragile
glassware and china.
Ball-bearing runners from the Grant
range are heavy-duty fittings designed
to move heavy loads in large freezers.
Hettich America scores highly with the
home appliance industry thanks to many
important details – from ball-bearing
runners for the crushed ice drawer to
concealed hinges for gentle, reliable
closing of refrigerator doors.

Scaling up the practical benefits
Hettich America transfers the
technical know-how gained in the
home appliance field to even bigger tasks.
A lot of heavy equipment in fire trucks
and ambulances is stored in drawers that
run on ball-bearing slides. Hettich has
been supplying the slides for so long that
their type number 3300 has become, like
a lot of brandnames, a fixture in these
customers‘ technical vocabulary.
Heavy-duty ball-bearing runners take the load
in ambulances and fire trucks.
