This is an 18 inch side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's heavy-duty line, rated 198 lb per pair, with an integrated soft-close damper and 1 inch of over-travel beyond full extension. The zinc finish makes it the standard working choice for indoor cabinet and shop-drawer installations where corrosion resistance and a clean, low-profile appearance matter.
A standard full-extension slide opens to the cabinet face. Add a countertop overhang, a thick face frame, or a deeper-than-usual drawer box, and the last few inches of the drawer stay out of reach. The 1 inch of over-travel on this slide pushes the drawer past that obstruction so the contents at the rear are accessible without reaching blind. It is especially useful in kitchen base cabinets under thick stone tops, in workshop benches built into a wall, and in any run of drawers where the installer does not want to trim back the cabinet's face-frame depth to gain clearance. The 198 lb rating extends the same slide to drawers carrying tools, files, or other heavy stock that would overload a standard kitchen-class pair.
The zinc finish is electroplated over cold-formed steel, providing indoor corrosion resistance and a bright, consistent appearance. It is not a decorative or stainless finish, but in a painted cabinet or a natural-finish wood interior it disappears against the side panel once the drawer is installed. Zinc is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in this segment, and Fulterer's application on this slide is consistent with that — a functional, long-service finish rather than a design statement. For applications where a darker slide would suit the cabinet better, this SKU is specific to the zinc finish; other finish options exist within the family.
Cabinet shops building kitchen base runs under thick stone or solid-surface tops use this slide when full extension alone leaves the rear of the drawer obscured. Bench builders and shop outfitters reach for it when the load class of a standard 100 lb slide falls short. Contractors retrofitting drawers into existing face-frame cabinetry with limited back clearance find the over-travel solves the reach problem without requiring structural changes to the cabinet. The non-handed design means the same part goes on both sides, cutting down on sorting time in production environments where multiple drawer openings are being fitted at once.
True soft-close. An integrated damper slows the drawer over the last portion of travel and settles it shut quietly. It is not an undamped spring close, and the drawer will not slam even under a full load.
The drawer travels the full 18 inch slide length and then 1 additional inch beyond that — so the drawer member extends 1 inch past the cabinet face. The 18 inch figure is the closed slide length, not the travel distance.
No. The 198 lb rating is per pair — both slides together. That is still nearly double the 100 lb standard cabinet class, but the number applies to the pair installed in one drawer, not to each individual member.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both members in the pair are identical. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count.
A side-mount slide needs support at its rear end in face-frame construction. Series-matched rear mounting brackets are typically required for face-frame installs; confirm bracket availability for this Fulterer series before ordering for a face-frame application.
When the drawer load exceeds the standard class and a full-extension slide still leaves the back of the drawer out of reach, this Fulterer 18 inch over-travel soft-close pair solves both problems at once — 198 lb capacity, a quiet damped close, and 1 inch of travel past full extension in a zinc-finished, non-handed package that installs on the same 1/2 inch clearance as any standard side-mount slide.
