The Knape and Vogt 8900 Series is a 34 inch, full-extension, side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide pair rated at 500 lb, finished in zinc and packaged in a poly-pack for shop and industrial cabinet use where load capacity is the first selection criterion.
A 500 lb rating at 34 inches positions this slide for applications well outside the residential kitchen range. Think mechanic's tool chests, woodshop assembly station drawers, warehouse storage cabinets, server-room equipment trays, and heavy commercial casework where the drawer is loaded with metal stock, tools, or hardware and pulled open dozens of times a day. The 34 inch length also suits deep base cabinets and custom storage where a shorter slide would leave rear contents unreachable. Full extension means nothing hides at the back: the entire drawer clears the opening and is accessible from the front.
Steel construction with electroplated zinc gives the 8900 its corrosion resistance in dry, indoor environments. Zinc plating is a durable, low-maintenance functional finish — it protects the steel members through years of heavy-cycle shop service without demanding the care that a polished or coated decorative finish would. This is not a stainless steel slide and is not rated for wet, washdown, or outdoor use; it belongs in covered indoor cabinets. The standard-motion design means there is no soft-close or self-close mechanism, which is the right choice for high-load utility drawers where a damper would add friction without benefit.
Cabinet shops building shop furniture or custom industrial storage, contractors fitting out a garage or utility room, and fabricators equipping workbenches will all find the 8900 at 34 inches a practical workhorse. The poly-pack pairs the slide members for a single drawer, which suits both one-off custom builds and repeat production runs. If the project calls for multiple drawers, order by drawer count — one poly-pack per drawer opening. Shops sizing for a deep base cabinet or a tall storage unit should measure the interior cabinet depth first to confirm a 34 inch slide clears without forcing the installation.
The 500 lb capacity is rated per pair — the two slides working together as installed. Do not plan to load 500 lb on a single member.
Allow 3/4 inch of clearance on each side between the drawer box and the cabinet interior. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to accommodate both slides.
In a face-frame cabinet the cabinet side is set back from the front frame, so the back of the slide needs rear support. Add matching rear mounting brackets — sold separately — to hold the slide's rear end at the correct height and depth.
No. The 8900 is a standard-motion slide — it has no damper or closing ramp. The drawer stays wherever it is left, which is exactly what most shop and industrial applications need.
These slides are for dry, indoor installations. Zinc plating resists corrosion in covered shop environments but is not rated for washdown, outdoor exposure, or prolonged moisture. For those conditions, look at the stainless steel slide options in the same program.
When the drawer is deep, the load is real, and the finish just needs to last — the 8900 Series at 34 inches in zinc delivers the capacity and travel to keep a hard-working shop cabinet running.
