The semi-circular Slim aluminum airline rail, measuring 1.0 meter in length, is a space-saving and versatile solution for securing light loads in vehicle and camper conversions. Thanks to its flat semi-circular profile, this rail is particularly well suited for top mounting, for example on roof crossbars in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or comparable van models.
With its narrow design of only 40 mm in width, the airline rail can also be easily integrated into confined installation situations. It is ideal for use in motorhomes, panel vans, or rear garages when light objects need to be securely fixed in place.
Areas of application for the Slim semi-circular airline rail
The Slim semi-circular profile airline rail – 1 meter was specially developed for applications where low weight, flat height, and easy installation are paramount.
Suitable for light loads
This airline rail is ideal for securing light objects such as:
- Tables, chairs, or camping furniture
- Plastic boxes and light transport crates
- Accessories in rear garages of motorhomes
Important: This slim airline rail is expressly not suitable for high tensile loads, such as when transporting motorcycles, heavy pallets, or machines.
Pre-drilled in 100 mm increments – easy to install & a perfect fit
The 1.0-meter-long airline rail is pre-drilled with M5 countersunk holes every 100 mm. This makes installation much easier and ensures even force distribution along the entire length of the rail.
The countersunk holes allow screws to be sunk flush, so that end fittings, fittings, or slot nuts can be moved freely in the rail.

Fastening the Slim airline rail
Installation is usually carried out using M5 countersunk screws. The manufacturer recommends using screws with a minimum strength of 10.9, in combination with washers and self-locking nuts.
Since this type of fastening is not always possible in vehicle construction, rivet nuts or anchor nuts are often used. The use of protruding screw heads or rivets is not recommended, as these can interfere with the insertion of fittings.
Alternatively, the airline rail can also be glued. The installer of the load securing system is responsible for the installation and the resulting load capacity.
Suitable accessories & origin
Optionally available black end caps provide a suitable finish for the airline rail.
They improve the appearance, protect against injuries from open rail ends, and round off the installation in a technically and visually appealing way.
The airline rail is manufactured by a German manufacturer in the EU and is expressly not imported from China.
