Fulterer 56" Side Mount Full Extension 550 lb Ball Bearing Drawer Slide, Zinc, 5524

Zinc-Finished Steel Built To Carry The Load And The Miles

The Fulterer 5524 is a 56 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide rated 550 lb per pair, finished in zinc-plated steel, and built for the kind of industrial, shop, and heavy-service drawers where standard cabinet-class hardware runs out of capacity long before the job does.

Key Features

• 550 lb weight capacity per pair — well above the standard 100 lb cabinet class, for drawers carrying genuine industrial or equipment loads.
• Full extension — the drawer travels the full length of the slide, bringing the entire interior out to the cabinet face.
• 56 inch slide length — matches deep cabinets, service carts, and tool storage applications where shorter slides fall short.
• Zinc-plated steel construction — corrosion-resistant surface over heavy steel members for demanding indoor environments.
• Non-handed design — both slides in the pair are identical, so no left/right sorting is needed at installation.
• Standard motion — no closing mechanism; the drawer stays wherever it is positioned, useful in powered or assisted systems where a detent or spring would interfere.

Where 550 Pounds and 56 Inches Both Matter

This slide earns its place in applications where load, depth, or both disqualify lighter hardware. Heavy-duty tool storage, industrial equipment drawers, machinery service panels, and commercial fabrication carts regularly carry contents that push past the 150 lb file-slide class. At 550 lb per pair and 56 inches of closed length, the Fulterer 5524 handles drawer boxes deep enough to store full rolls of material, large tool sets, or dense components that would strain anything rated below it. Full extension means none of that content hides at the back when the drawer is open.

Zinc Finish on Heavy Steel

Zinc plating over steel is the working standard for side-mount ball bearing slides in demanding indoor environments. On a slide this size and this load class, the zinc layer protects the heavy steel members against the humidity, oil mist, and light moisture common in shop and industrial settings. It is a functional finish, not a decorative one, and it is well suited to the environments where a 550 lb slide earns its keep. This is an indoor slide; for washdown or marine environments, confirm a corrosion-resistant or stainless specification before ordering.

The Right Fit for Heavy Industrial and Shop Work

Cabinet shops building custom tool storage, commercial fabricators fitting out service carts, and facilities teams specifying heavy drawer systems in production environments are the buyers this slide is made for. If the drawer is deep, densely loaded, and sees regular use in a shop or industrial setting, the 5524's combination of 56 inch length, 550 lb capacity, and full extension covers the application without compromise. Standard motion means no mechanism adds friction or resistance to the travel, which suits installations where powered assist or manual pull handles the open cycle.

Capacity and Depth, Ready for the Heavy Work

When the drawer is 56 inches deep and the load is measured in hundreds of pounds, the Fulterer 5524 in zinc delivers the reach and the rating to get that drawer open, loaded, and accessible every time.
