This is an 18 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 198 lb per pair, with 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension and an integrated soft-close damper. It is built for drawers that need to clear a countertop overhang or deep face frame and close quietly under a heavy load.
Standard full-extension slides stop at the cabinet face. On a kitchen drawer under a 1 inch counter overhang, that means the back of the drawer is still partially blocked. The over-travel on this slide pushes the drawer 1 inch past that point, so rear contents are fully reachable without leaning in. At the same time, the soft-close damper handles the return trip: even a drawer loaded with heavy tools or dense pantry goods closes with controlled, quiet motion rather than a slam. This combination makes the slide well suited to deep base cabinet drawers, workshop storage units, and utility cabinets where access to the full depth matters and noise is a concern.
The slide members are cold-formed steel with a bright zinc finish. Zinc plating protects the steel against the humidity and handling of an indoor shop or kitchen environment without adding bulk. The finish gives the slide a clean, neutral appearance beside the drawer box — visible when the drawer is open, and unobtrusive in service. This is an indoor finish; it is not rated for exterior, marine, or washdown environments.
The 198 lb rating and over-travel make this slide a practical choice for cabinet shops building base cabinet drawer banks under standard countertops, contractors upgrading utility room or laundry cabinet drawers, and woodworkers fitting workshop storage where a full-depth pull-out needs to clear a workbench overhang. Designers specifying hardware for handle-less kitchens or modern slab fronts can also pair the soft-close action with push-to-open hardware — note that a combined push-to-open soft-close system should be specified for that application, not a plain mechanical push-to-open mechanism alongside this slide. Build the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening to provide 1/2 inch of clearance on each side. In face-frame cabinets, rear mounting brackets are required at the back of the slide; confirm the appropriate Fulterer bracket for this series before ordering.
The slide is 18 inches long (closed length). With 1 inch of over-travel, the drawer member travels past the slide's nominal length by 1 inch, clearing a countertop overhang of that depth. Slide length and drawer travel are separate specs.
It is a damper — true soft-close that slows the drawer to a controlled, quiet close over the last portion of travel. It is not a spring-loaded self-close, which can still slam under a heavy load.
Confirm the sold-as unit in the product listing before ordering. Most Fulterer slides in this series sell as a pair; one pair installs one drawer.
If the existing slide uses 1/2 inch side clearance and mounts directly to the cabinet interior (frameless construction), the dimensions align for a direct swap. Face-frame cabinets require rear brackets, and the over-travel adds 1 inch of forward projection that the cabinet opening must accommodate.
Yes, but the slide needs rear support at the back of the cabinet. Add the appropriate Fulterer rear mounting brackets for this series; brackets are series-specific and sold separately.
A heavy drawer that clears its overhang cleanly and closes without effort is one less friction point on a busy job or in a working kitchen — and the zinc-finished steel construction keeps it performing that way for the long run.
