This is a 32 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 550 lb per pair, zinc finished, and built for drawers that carry real weight. It is the standard-motion version of the 5512 series — no closing mechanism, no detent, no spring — just telescopic steel ball-bearing travel at a capacity class far above the standard kitchen range.
A standard 100 lb cabinet slide is the right tool for a kitchen drawer. A 550 lb slide is a different product entirely. This one belongs under workbenches loaded with hand tools, in shop carts carrying heavy stock, in server racks and AV equipment bays, and in institutional or industrial cabinets where a fully loaded drawer would overload anything in the medium-duty class. The 32 inch length suits deep drawers in full-depth workstations and equipment enclosures. Because the slide is standard motion, there is no mechanism fighting a heavy load — the drawer opens and closes freely on the ball bearings and stays where it is positioned.
The slide is cold-formed steel throughout, with ball bearings running in formed steel raceways the full length of the travel. The zinc finish is electroplated over the steel members for indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty ball bearing slides in this duty class — it is a functional, durable finish, not a decorative one, and it is suited to shop and utility environments rather than finished cabinetry where a concealed slide would be specified instead.
This is the slide for anyone who has outgrown medium-duty ball bearing hardware. Cabinet shops building shop furniture, contractors fitting out equipment rooms, facilities managers replacing slides on institutional storage, and industrial fabricators building heavy-duty drawers will find the 550 lb class and full extension combination in one 32 inch zinc slide here. It is not the right choice for a kitchen renovation or light residential cabinetry — the standard and soft-close slides in the 100 lb class serve those applications. If the drawer is heavy, deep, and used hard, this is the one to measure for.
The 550 lb capacity is the per-pair rating — the working load for one complete drawer running on two slides, one per side.
Full extension means the drawer member travels approximately the full slide length, bringing the entire drawer clear of the cabinet opening. Slide length and drawer travel are two separate facts — full extension confirms you get complete access to the drawer contents, not just partial access.
No. The slide is non-handed — both pieces in the pair are identical and fit either side of the drawer. Order one pair per drawer.
Side-mount slides in face-frame cabinets need support at the rear of the slide because the cabinet side is set back behind the face frame. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for your installation — brackets for heavy-duty slides are series-specific and sold separately.
Neither. This is a standard-motion slide — the drawer rides freely on the ball bearings and stays wherever it is left. There is no damper, no closing spring, and no detent.
When the load outgrows the medium-duty class, the Fulterer 5512 delivers full extension and 550 lb per pair in a 32 inch zinc side-mount package that fits the same way a standard ball bearing slide does — one per side, non-handed, with no mechanism to work around.
