The KV 8908 series 60 inch drawer slide is a full-extension, ball-bearing side-mount slide rated 500 lb, finished in zinc-plated steel, and built for the kind of industrial and commercial drawers where reach and load capacity are the only specs that matter.
A 60 inch slide at 500 lb capacity is a tool for serious storage problems: deep shop drawers holding heavy tooling, server or telecom rack pull-outs that need to extend fully under load, warehouse equipment carts with long, loaded shelves, and any built-in that requires both maximum travel and a positive stop in both directions. The hold-in detent prevents the drawer from drifting open on an uneven floor or a moving vehicle, while the hold-out keeps it extended and stable when you need both hands free to work. At 60 inches closed length, this slide suits cabinet interiors built for significant depth — plan the box and cabinet accordingly before ordering.
Steel construction with a zinc plate finish gives the 8908 its structural backbone and its resistance to the humidity and light moisture common in shop and industrial environments. Zinc plating is a functional, unobtrusive finish — not decorative — so it suits utility cabinetry, equipment carts, and built-ins where appearance is secondary to performance. The 3/4 inch side clearance required per slide is wider than a standard kitchen slide, so size the drawer box with that spacing in mind.
Cabinet shops building out shop storage, contractors fitting commercial or industrial casework, and facilities teams equipping maintenance and parts rooms are the core buyers for this slide. The non-handed design and bulk-pack format make it practical for volume installations where multiple drawers need the same hardware without handed-pair sorting. This is an indoor slide — zinc plating handles the typical shop or warehouse environment, but continuous washdown or salt-air exposure calls for a stainless option instead.
No. Hold-in and hold-out are mechanical position catches, not dampers. The hold-in keeps the drawer closed until pulled; the hold-out keeps it open until pushed. Neither one slows or cushions the drawer's motion — this is a standard-motion slide without soft-close.
Each slide requires 3/4 inch of clearance between the drawer box side and the cabinet interior — more than the 1/2 inch standard on lighter slides. Build the box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to give each side its required space.
The 500 lb rating is the capacity of the slide pair working together — load the drawer to that total, not per slide.
A side-mount slide at 60 inches installed in a face-frame cabinet requires rear mounting support at the back of the slide. The 8908 is a side-mount design; in face-frame construction, plan for rear brackets to carry the back end of the slide.
When depth and load are the primary constraints, the KV 8908 60 inch zinc slide gives long-reach industrial drawers the capacity and position control they need — without overcomplicating the install.
