The Fulterer FR 5000 OT is a 16 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide with over-travel extension, rated 100 lb per pair, and finished in zinc. It is built for drawers that need to clear countertop overhangs or deep face frames — situations where a standard full-extension slide leaves the back of the drawer just out of reach.
A standard full-extension slide brings the drawer to the cabinet face. An over-travel slide goes further, pushing the drawer past that point so it clears a countertop overhang or a deep face frame. That extra travel is most useful in kitchen base cabinets where a thick countertop sits in front of the drawer opening, in shop workbenches with a built-up top, and in any cabinet where the face frame is deep enough to hide the rear of the drawer at full open. The slide is standard motion — the drawer rolls freely on ball bearings and stays at whatever position it is left, which pairs naturally with push-to-open fronts or any handle configuration that does not require a closing mechanism.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplated finish. Zinc is the workhorse protective finish for side-mount ball bearing slides: it resists the indoor corrosion that comes with kitchen humidity and shop environments without adding unnecessary cost. The steel members are the structural element here — the zinc finish protects them and keeps the slide looking clean beside an open drawer. This finish is for dry, indoor installations; it is not rated for exterior, washdown, or marine use.
The FR 5000 OT fits kitchen drawers under thick countertops, workbench drawers beneath built-up tops, and any cabinet where rear access matters and a standard full-extension slide falls short. At 100 lb per pair and 16 inches closed length, it suits standard base cabinet drawer banks and utility drawers in the medium-duty class. Each slide requires 1/2 inch of side clearance, so the drawer box should be built 1 inch narrower than the cabinet opening. In face-frame cabinets, the slide needs rear support — add the appropriate rear mounting brackets, sold separately. Both slides in the pair are identical and non-handed, simplifying ordering for a full kitchen run.
The slide travels past its 16 inch closed length — over-travel means the drawer member extends beyond the nominal slide length, clearing countertop overhangs. The 16 inch figure is the closed length, not the travel distance.
Standard motion means no spring, damper, or detent — the drawer stays wherever it is left. On a level installation it will not drift. If a stay-closed detent matters for your application, look to the hold-in versions in the FR 5000 family.
No. The FR 5000 OT is non-handed — both slides in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
Yes, but the back end of the slide needs support. Face-frame cabinets require rear mounting brackets because the cabinet side is set back from the frame. The brackets are sold separately and should be series-matched.
Yes, for indoor kitchen work. Zinc electroplating protects the steel members from the humidity and everyday wear of a kitchen cabinet interior. It is not suited to outdoor, wet, or washdown environments.
When a standard slide leaves the back corner just out of reach, the FR 5000 OT closes that gap — a 100 lb rated, zinc-finished over-travel slide that earns its keep anywhere the cabinet geometry demands a little extra extension.
