This is an 18 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 550 lb per pair in a zinc finish — built for drawers carrying genuine industrial loads where a standard 100 lb cabinet slide falls far short.
At 550 lb per pair, this slide is engineered for applications where drawer contents are measured in bulk rather than place settings. Shop tool drawers packed with heavy stock, industrial storage cabinets, workbench pull-outs, and commercial equipment enclosures are its natural territory. Full extension means the back of an 18 inch drawer comes all the way out to the cabinet face — useful when the rear of a loaded drawer needs to be reached without pulling the contents forward first. Standard motion keeps things simple: the slide carries the load and tracks smoothly, without a closing mechanism to overcome when the drawer is heavily loaded.
The slide's steel members carry a zinc electroplate that provides corrosion resistance for indoor environments — workshops, utility rooms, server enclosures, and commercial storage. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty side-mount ball bearing slides: functional, durable, and consistent across the pair. This is not a decorative finish, and it is not stainless steel. For applications where a stealth look matters, the same slide is available in black; for this SKU, zinc is the finish.
Cabinet shops building heavy-duty shop furniture, contractors outfitting commercial or industrial spaces, and facilities teams specifying storage equipment are the buyers this slide is built around. If the drawer will carry tool steel, bulk fasteners, binders full of archive files, or dense shop supplies, the load capacity here provides real margin over what the contents actually weigh. The non-handed format simplifies volume ordering — one part number covers both sides of every drawer. Plan for 1/2 inch of side clearance per side when sizing the drawer box, and add rear mounting brackets if the installation is in a face-frame cabinet.
The 550 lb rating is per pair — that is the combined capacity of both slides working together on one drawer. Do not double it by counting each slide separately.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with no soft-close, self-close, or hold-in detent. The drawer stays wherever it is left, which is often the right choice when the drawer is very heavy and a closing mechanism would need to overcome significant mass.
Plan for 1/2 inch of clearance between the drawer box side and the cabinet interior on each side, making the drawer box 1 inch narrower than the opening.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer.
Yes, but face-frame installations need rear support. Add matching rear mounting brackets for the slide's back end — these are sold separately and must be the correct series for this slide.
When the drawer is genuinely heavy and full-extension access to every corner matters, this Fulterer 18 inch slide pairs a 550 lb rating with smooth ball bearing travel in a non-handed zinc format that installs in pairs without sorting.
