Engineering Detail

Absolute Anti-Tilt. Mechanical Drawer Interlock.

A precision-engineered interlock system that ensures only one loaded drawer can be opened at any time. Designed for industrial environments where stability is critical.

  • Single-drawer release. Once opened, all remaining drawers remain mechanically locked.
  • Up to 200 kg per drawer. Heavy industrial load classes supported.
  • Engineered metal linkage. Not plastic rail-based restriction systems.

Designed for manufacturing floors and maintenance workshops.

Mechanism

Mechanical Interlock Architecture

OTTOKIND drawer cabinets use a physical interlock system that prevents more than one drawer from being extended at any time.

  • Mechanical linkage across the drawer stack
  • Locks remaining drawers once one drawer is extended
  • Designed for repeated industrial duty cycles
  • Compatible with full-extension heavy-load runners

Operational Guidance

Correct Load Distribution Required

Stability depends on correct loading practice. Cabinets must be loaded bottom heavy in accordance with installation guidance.

  • Heavier tooling stored in lower drawers
  • Lighter items positioned higher
  • Rated drawer capacities not exceeded
  • Installed on level, load-bearing flooring

The Absolute Anti-Tilt system reduces multi-drawer extension risk. It does not override basic mechanical physics.
