On March 1, local time, the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt announced that it would increase the tolls of some ships by up to 10%. This is the second increase in tolls for the Suez Canal in two months.

According to a statement from the Suez Canal Authority, tolls for liquefied petroleum gas, chemical and other tankers increased by 10%; tolls for vehicles and gas carriers, general cargo and multipurpose vessels increased by 7%; oil tankers, crude oil and dry Bulk carrier tolls increased by 5%. The decision is in line with the significant growth in global trade, the development of the Suez Canal waterway and enhanced transport services, the statement said. Osama Rabie, chairman of the Canal Authority, said the new toll rate will be evaluated and may be adjusted again in the future. The Canal Authority has already raised the toll once on February 1, with a 6% increase in tolls for ships, excluding LNG ships and cruise ships.

The Suez Canal is located at the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa, connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Canal revenue is one of the main sources of Egypt's national fiscal revenue and foreign exchange reserves.

According to data from the Suez Canal Authority, more than 20,000 ships passed through the canal last year, an increase of about 10% over 2020; last year’s ship toll revenue totaled US$6.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13% and a record high.

The damping slide rail is a kind of slide rail, which is a kind of sound-absorbing and buffering effect that provides a buffering performance using liquid and an ideal buffering effect. The hidden damping slide is one of the damping slides. How to install and purchase the hidden damping slide?



Hidden damping slide rail installation method
1. Determine the length of the slide rail, as well as the installation screw distance data of the damping slide drawer. The user can predetermine the screw position based on this data.
2. After selecting the length of the slide rail, please process the drawer according to the punching size of the damping slide drawer to install the damping slide drawer.
3. Fasten the quick release handle with screws.
4. Install the slide rail on the side panel of the counter, then put the damping slide rail drawer, balance it on the slide rail, push it inward, the slide rail and the quick release handle of the drawer can be matched.
5. If you want to remove the damping slide drawer, just press the quick release handle with your hand and pull it out to separate the damping slide drawer from the cabinet.

"The strength of the world economic recovery, the demand situation of major economies, the global epidemic situation, the repair of the global supply chain, and geopolitical risks will all have an impact on global trade." Lu Yan further analyzed that the world economy is expected to continue to recover this year, but uncertain Sexuality continues to rise, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has added new variables to the global economy. The outbreak will still pose a threat to economic activity and global trade.

As for when the global supply chain will be repaired, when the congestion of the world's major ports will be eased, and whether the delivery time of global goods can be significantly shortened, it is still difficult to have a clear date. The current Russian-Ukrainian conflict has severely impacted the international market, and the prices of commodities, especially energy and food, have soared. The follow-up development of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the impact on the fluctuation and duration of the international commodity market, and the variables brought about by aggravating the level of global inflation and the recovery of the world economy and trade still require further observation.

To simplify the topic, we will divide it into two categories: side mount and under mount. Some cabinets use central mount rails, but these are less common.

Side mount
The side mountis the one you are most likely to upgrade. They appear in pairs and are connected to each side of the cabinet drawer. An important thing to remember is that you need to leave space between the drawer box and the side of the cabinet. Almost all side mounted slide rails are required ½” So please make sure you have enough space.

Under mount
AOSITEunder mountslides are also sold in pairs, but you can install them on either side of the bottom of the drawer. These are ball bearing sliders that can be a great modern aesthetic choice for your kitchen because they are invisible when the drawer is opened. This type of slide rail requires a small gap between the drawer side and the cabinet opening (about 3 / 16 inch to 14 inch on each side), and also has very specific requirements for the top and bottom gaps. Please also note that the space from the bottom of the drawer to the bottom of the side of the drawer must be 1 / 2 inch (the slide itself is usually 5 / 8 inch or thinner).

However, one thing to keep in mind is that in order to replace the side mounted slide with the base slide, you must rebuild the entire drawer box. This may not be the easiest upgrade you can make yourself.

Unless you only replace the damaged slide, the main reason for you to replace the slide may be to upgrade to some good expansion or motion functions that the current slide does not have.

How much do you want to extend from the slide? 3 / 4 extended slides may be cheaper, but they are not the most convenient to use, and they may not be upgraded as much as the old ones. If you use the complete extension slide, it will allow the drawer to be fully pulled out and the back of the drawer can be accessed more easily.

If you want more expansion, you can even use the overtravel slide, which goes one step further and actually allows the drawer to completely come out of the cabinet when it is fully expanded. The drawer can be fully used even under the table top.

The two main motion features to look for are self closing slides and soft closing slides. If you push in that direction, the automatic closing slide will completely close the drawer. Another option is the soft closing slide, which has a damper that gently returns to the drawer when you close it (any soft closing slide also closes automatically).

After selecting the slide type, the next step is to determine the required length. If you want to replace the side mount with a new one, the easiest way is to measure the existing one and replace it with a new one with the same length. However, it is also good to measure the inner surface from the front edge of the cabinet to the back. This will give you the maximum depth of the slide.

On the other hand, to find the length suitable for the hanging slide, just measure the length of the drawer. The slide rail length must match the drawer length.

The last important aspect to consider is the weight you need to support the slide. A typical kitchen cabinet drawer slide should have a rated weight of about 100 pounds, while some heavier applications (such as file drawer or food cabinet pull-out) require a higher rated weight of 150 pounds or more.

Now you know where to start choosing the right slide for your cabinet drawer! If you are not sure what you need, please feel free to call us.
