Fulterer 36" Side Mount Full Extension 550 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 5514

Zinc Finish and Full-Extension Reach in an Extra-Heavy-Duty Format

The Fulterer 5514 is a 36 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 550 lb per pair, built for shop drawers, industrial cabinetry, and heavy storage applications where standard-class slides fall well short of the load requirement.

Key Features

• 550 lb weight capacity per pair — extra-heavy-duty class, handling loads that would overwhelm a standard 100 lb cabinet slide five times over.
• Full extension — the drawer clears the cabinet face completely, giving unobstructed access to the back of the box.
• 36 inch slide length — sized for deep drawers, tool chests, and industrial casework where shorter slides cannot reach.
• Steel ball bearing construction — hardened steel balls in full-length raceways deliver smooth, controlled travel under heavy load.
• Non-handed design — a single slide fits either side of the drawer, eliminating left/right sorting on the bench.
• Zinc finish — electroplated steel for reliable indoor corrosion resistance across years of hard service.

Built for Loads That Standard Slides Cannot Handle

At 550 lb per pair, the Fulterer 5514 operates in a completely different duty class than the 75–100 lb slides specified for kitchen cabinetry. That capacity makes it the right call for tool chest drawers packed with hand tools, industrial workstation drawers holding fixtures or gauges, shop storage holding bar stock or hardware, and any other application where the drawer contents push past what a standard or even heavy-duty file slide can support. The 36 inch length and full-extension travel mean that even the deepest drawers open completely, so nothing stays buried at the back.

Materials and Finish

The 5514 is built from steel and carries a zinc electroplate finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in indoor service. Zinc protects the steel members against the humidity and contact wear typical in shop and industrial environments. This is a functional, low-profile finish: the slide does its job alongside the drawer box without drawing attention. The motion is standard — no detent, no spring, no damper — so the drawer rides the bearings and stays wherever it is left.

Where the 5514 Fits Best

This slide is the right choice when the application is industrial, commercial, or shop-grade rather than residential. A machinist's cabinet, a maintenance shop's parts drawer, a fabrication workstation, or a heavy-duty storage unit are all natural fits. Woodworking shops running a 36 inch drawer for router bits, clamps, or sheet-goods offcuts will also find the capacity appropriate. Because the slide is non-handed and full-extension, it drops into a build without left/right planning and delivers full drawer access regardless of how deep the cabinet runs. The 5514 is a standard-motion slide with no closing feature, so it is equally suited to high-cycle work drawers and infrequently accessed storage.

The Right Slide When the Load Is Serious

When the drawer contents are heavy, the 5514's 550 lb per pair rating and 36 inch full-extension travel give you the capacity and reach to handle the job without compromise.
