The Sugatsune ESR-3813 is a 16 inch, full-extension side-mount ball-bearing drawer slide built from 304 stainless steel for environments where plated steel corrodes and fails. Its hold-in anti-rebound detent keeps drawers firmly shut when the cabinet takes bumps, vibration, or heavy use — without adding a damper mechanism that can trap moisture in wet-service applications.
Standard zinc-plated slides work fine in a dry shop or kitchen cabinet, but a commercial galley, a lab casework build, a healthcare cart, or an outdoor storage unit demands a different material class. The ESR-3813's 304 stainless steel body handles repeated exposure to moisture, cleaning chemicals, and salt air without the surface corrosion that undermines plated slides over time. The hold-in anti-rebound feature is especially practical in mobile and marine applications — the drawer stays shut on the water or on the road without a lock, and it releases with a normal pull. Full extension means nothing stays hidden at the back when a technician or cook needs to reach every corner of the drawer.
The ESR-3813 is manufactured from 304 stainless steel — the same alloy used in commercial kitchen equipment and medical instrumentation. The stainless finish is the material itself, not a coating over a steel substrate, so there is no plating layer to chip, flake, or undercut. Ball bearings run in stainless raceways for consistent movement that holds up through washdown cycles. This is a standard-motion side-mount design: the hold-in detent holds the drawer closed, but there is no soft-close damper, which keeps the mechanism straightforward and easy to service in demanding environments.
Specify the ESR-3813 for drawers that live in wet, chemically active, or high-humidity spaces: commercial kitchen prep stations, food-service equipment carts, laboratory and cleanroom casework, healthcare supply carts, marine cabinetry, and outdoor storage enclosures. For dry indoor residential and shop work, a zinc-plated ball-bearing slide handles the job at a lower price point. The 16 inch length suits mid-depth drawers in equipment carts and wall-cabinet builds. Fabricators running multi-drawer configurations will appreciate the non-handed design, which eliminates left-right part management on the shop floor.
304 stainless resists corrosion far better than zinc-plated steel in most marine environments. For continuous direct saltwater immersion or aggressive offshore exposure, some fabricators prefer 316 stainless — confirm your environment's requirements before specifying, since the ESR-3813 is rated and sourced as 304.
The hold-in detent catches the drawer in the closed position so it stays shut until intentionally pulled open. The anti-rebound side of the feature stops the drawer from bouncing back out after a firm close — useful on mobile carts and in high-traffic service environments. This is a position catch, not a soft-close damper.
The SAP description states per pair, and the 79 lb weight capacity is quoted on that basis. Confirm the unit on the product page before ordering multiple drawers.
No. The motion technology is hold-in anti-rebound only — a mechanical detent at the closed position. There is no damper. If you need soft-close in a stainless slide, look at the ESR-DC/SC series in the Sugatsune program.
When the job puts a drawer in a washdown bay, on a galley, or inside a lab cabinet, the ESR-3813 delivers the material class and the hold-in reliability that keep it working long after a plated slide would have given out.
