This 26 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer is built for heavy-duty installations that demand both holding power and access — rated 550 lb per pair with detents that keep the drawer parked in both the open and closed positions.
At 550 lb per pair, this slide is designed for applications where a standard 100 lb or even 150 lb cabinet slide would be undersized from day one. Think tool chests with full socket sets, service shop drawers loaded with hand tools, workbench pull-outs carrying jigs and fixtures, or mobile equipment cases that take real punishment. The hold-in detent stops a loaded drawer from drifting open on an uneven floor or vibrating surface. The hold-out detent is equally practical: the drawer stays extended at full open while both hands are in the box, then closes with a deliberate push. Neither detent is a locking mechanism — a firm intentional pull or push releases it — but both deliver the kind of controlled, purposeful feel that a heavily loaded drawer needs.
The slide is built from steel with a zinc finish — the working standard for indoor industrial and shop environments where corrosion resistance is needed but a decorative appearance is not the priority. Zinc protects the steel members through years of service inside a cabinet or on a workbench base. This is a side-mount slide, so it sits beside the drawer box and is visible when the drawer is open; appearance is secondary to strength and function at this duty class. The 26 inch closed length suits deep drawer boxes in full-depth base cabinets, shop benches, and equipment enclosures.
Cabinet shops building service station cabinetry, bench bases, or heavy storage units will find the 550 lb rating and dual detent behavior well matched to those builds. Contractors fitting out utility rooms, garages, or commercial work areas specify this slide when the load is predictably heavy and the drawer must behave — staying put when closed and staying open when the worker needs both hands. The non-handed design simplifies volume ordering: one part number covers all positions in a run of drawers. The 3/4 inch side clearance per side is wider than the 1/2 inch standard for light-duty cabinet slides, so drawer boxes should be sized with that clearance in mind from the start of the layout.
550 lb is the per-pair rating — one pair of slides, installed one on each side of the drawer box, carries that load together.
Hold-in keeps the drawer closed until you pull it open — useful on uneven floors or vibrating surfaces where a loaded drawer might otherwise drift. Hold-out keeps the drawer at full extension until you push it closed, so both hands are free inside the box. Neither position is a positive lock; both release with normal hand pressure.
No. This is a standard-motion slide with mechanical detents but no damper. The drawer closes under hand pressure and stops at the hold-in detent — it does not slow and settle on its own.
The heavier slide profile at this duty class is wider than a standard cabinet ball-bearing slide, so it needs 3/4 inch of clearance per side. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to give each slide its required space.
No. The slide is non-handed, so both pieces in the pair are identical. Order by quantity and length only.
Zinc provides corrosion resistance for indoor use — dry to moderately humid shops, garages, and commercial spaces. It is not rated for outdoor exposure or wet washdown environments.
When the load is real and the drawer needs to stay exactly where you put it, the 550 lb rating and dual-detent action of this Fulterer slide remove the guesswork from the build.
