This is a 14 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer USA, rated 550 lb per pair in a zinc finish. Built for industrial benches, service equipment, and heavy storage drawers that standard 100 lb cabinet slides cannot handle, it delivers full access to the drawer contents regardless of how much is packed inside.
A loaded mechanic's top box, a parts drawer packed with steel fittings, a restaurant equipment base holding sheet pans stacked deep — these are the applications where a standard 100 lb cabinet slide fails before the job is done. At 550 lb per pair, this slide handles the kind of dead weight that would bind or damage a lighter-class runner on the first heavy pull. Full extension means the back of a 14 inch drawer comes all the way out to the cabinet face, so there is no reaching around the front contents to find what is stored at the rear. Standard motion keeps it simple: no closing mechanism to interfere with heavy loads being slid in and out repeatedly.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in shop, industrial, and light commercial environments. Zinc provides reliable corrosion resistance for indoor use. It is a functional finish on a slide that sits alongside the drawer box and is visible when the drawer is open, not a decorative or stainless steel coating. For wet, washdown, or outdoor applications, a stainless or specialty slide is the right choice.
The Fulterer 5503 is the right choice when the duty class, not the finish or motion feature, is the primary specification. Cabinet shops building heavy storage bases, contractors fitting out service vehicles or equipment bays, and industrial facilities specifying drawer hardware for tool and parts storage all benefit from a slide that can absorb serious load without the complexity of a damper or spring mechanism. At 14 inches, it suits shallower heavy-duty drawers — tool chests, parts cabinets, and service benches where depth is limited but weight is not.
550 lb is the per-pair rating — both slides working together. That is the number to compare against your drawer's loaded weight.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with no self-close, soft-close, or hold-in detent. The drawer stays in whatever position you leave it, which is the right behavior for heavy industrial drawers that are loaded and unloaded frequently.
Side-mount ball bearing slides in this class typically require 1/2 inch of side clearance per slide. Confirm the exact clearance requirement against the Fulterer installation specification for the 5503 before building your drawer box, as heavy-duty series dimensions can vary from the standard cabinet class.
Side-mount slides installed in face-frame cabinets need rear support. Rear mounting brackets are typically series-specific and sold separately — check with Fulterer USA for the correct bracket for this series before ordering.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical. Order the quantity that matches your drawer count.
When the spec is 550 lb and full access to a 14 inch drawer, this is the slide that delivers — straightforward steel ball bearing construction, zinc finish, and no mechanism to maintain or replace.
