This is a 16 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 198 lb per pair, with over-travel action that carries the drawer past full extension. The zinc finish brings standard indoor corrosion protection to a slide built for loads well above the typical kitchen cabinet class.
A standard full-extension slide stops at the cabinet face. An over-travel slide keeps going. In a drawer positioned under a countertop overhang or behind a thick face frame, that extra travel is what separates fully reachable contents from a blind dig at the back. This slide suits workshop benches with lipped tops, kitchen islands with deep aprons, built-in desks, and any installation where a simple full-extension slide would leave the rear of the drawer partially blocked. The 198 lb rating per pair puts it in a different duty class than the 100 lb slides that stock most cabinet runs — right for drawers carrying tools, heavy-gauge stock, or dense archive materials.
Cold-formed steel members run the full length of each slide, forming the raceways that the ball bearings roll in. The zinc finish electroplated over the steel is the segment standard for indoor service: functional, durable, and mostly out of sight once the drawer is in. Zinc is not a decorative finish and is not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments. For indoor shop, office, and utility installations it handles years of cycling without issue.
Cabinet shops building heavy-duty drawers under overhanging bench tops are the primary fit. Contractors installing built-ins with thick aprons or face frames will find the over-travel action solves the access problem without a cabinet redesign. Homeowners building a garage workstation or utility room pull-out get the same benefit at a load class that covers almost anything a residential drawer carries. The non-handed, standard-motion design — no self-close, no soft-close, no detent — keeps installation simple and the slide compatible with push-to-open retrofits where no closing mechanism is wanted.
Further than full extension. The over-travel action carries the drawer past the slide's 16 inch nominal length so it clears overhangs and thick face frames. The exact over-travel distance is not stated in the available source data — confirm with Fulterer's published spec sheet for the precise additional travel.
No. 16 inches is the closed length of the slide. The drawer travels its full nominal length plus the additional over-travel distance — so the actual reach is longer than 16 inches. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate numbers.
Neither. This is a standard-motion slide — no damper, no closing spring, and no detent. The drawer stays wherever it is left. If damped closing matters for your project, look at the Fulterer soft-close variant in the same family.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical. Order the quantity your drawer count requires without worrying about orientation.
Side-mount ball bearing slides in this family run on 1/2 inch of clearance per side, which means the drawer box is built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. The source data does not state the exact tolerance for this specific model — confirm the clearance spec in Fulterer's installation guide before sizing the box.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need rear support — typically a rear mounting bracket — because the cabinet side is set back from the frame face. Rear brackets for Fulterer slides are series-specific and sold separately; confirm the matching bracket before ordering for a face-frame install.
The 198 lb rating and over-travel extension handle the two problems that disqualify standard cabinet slides from demanding builds — load and access — without adding mechanism complexity. Match the 16 inch slide length to your cabinet's interior depth, build the drawer box to 1/2 inch clearance per side, and this slide does the rest.
