Fulterer 46" Side Mount Full Extension 550 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 5519

46 Inch Full-Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Slides Built for Zinc-Finish Industrial Work

This is a 46 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer's heavy-duty line, rated 550 lb per pair. The zinc finish is the working standard for steel slide members that live inside a cabinet or enclosure — protected from indoor corrosion, unobtrusive in the opening, and ready for long-term service in shop, commercial, and industrial environments.

Key Features

• 550 lb weight capacity per pair — well beyond the standard 100 lb cabinet class, built for drawers carrying real industrial or commercial loads.
• Full extension — the entire drawer travels clear of the cabinet opening, making the back of even a 46 inch drawer fully reachable.
• 46 inch slide length — matches deep cabinets, workbenches, and equipment enclosures that standard kitchen-length slides cannot reach.
• Steel ball bearings in full-length raceways — smooth, consistent travel through heavy cycling under load.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical, so there is no left-right sorting on the bench.
• Zinc finish on steel members — corrosion-resistant for dry indoor service without a decorative coating that adds cost and weight.

Where a 550 lb, 46 Inch Slide Fits In

Standard kitchen and office slides top out at 100 to 150 lb and come in lengths through 28 inches. This slide starts where those leave off. A 46 inch full-extension slide at 550 lb per pair suits industrial tool drawers, heavy-duty workbench pull-outs, server and equipment racks, and commercial cabinetry where the drawer box itself is deep and its contents are dense. Full extension at this length means a technician or operator does not have to reach into the cabinet — the whole drawer comes to them.

This is a standard-motion slide: no soft-close damper, no spring-assist close, no detent. The drawer rides the bearings and stays wherever it is left. For applications where the drawer is opened deliberately and closed deliberately — a tool chest, an equipment bay, a heavy storage enclosure — that is exactly the right behavior. If the application needs a closing mechanism, it belongs in a different model in the Fulterer line.

Steel and Zinc for Industrial Service

The members are cold-formed steel finished in zinc. Zinc plating is the proven corrosion-resistant finish for steel slides in dry indoor environments — it is not a decorative or stainless-steel finish, and it is not intended for wet, washdown, or outdoor exposure. At this load class, the finish keeps the slide protected without adding unnecessary material cost to hardware that is mostly hidden when the cabinet is closed. The zinc tone also reads as neutral against most cabinet and enclosure interiors.

Who Orders This Slide

Cabinet shops building industrial workstations or tech furniture with deep drawer runs reach for this length. Facilities and maintenance teams specifying replacement slides for heavy equipment enclosures match on length, extension, and load class before anything else — this slide covers all three at a scale most competitors do not carry in a standard side-mount format. Contractors outfitting shop floors, server rooms, or commercial kitchens where drawers take a sustained beating also stock this class. The non-handed design means one SKU covers every drawer position in the cabinet, which simplifies ordering for a multi-drawer build.

Common Questions

Ready to Handle What Standard Slides Cannot

When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the finish needs to last in a working environment, the 46 inch zinc Fulterer slide at 550 lb per pair is the spec that fills the gap between standard cabinet hardware and custom fabrication.
