These are 42 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slides from Fulterer, rated 550 lb per pair with integrated hold-in and hold-out detents. Built for shop benches, service carts, industrial storage, and any drawer where the load is well beyond the kitchen cabinet class.
A 550 lb per pair rating puts these slides in a different duty class than anything headed for a kitchen drawer. The right applications are shop tool drawers, mechanic's workbenches, parts storage cabinets, equipment service panels, and utility carts that carry real weight. At 42 inches, the slide is also sized for wide, deep drawers — the kind that get pulled out repeatedly under full load and need to stay put in both positions. The hold-out detent earns its keep here: when a drawer is full of tools or components, having it stay open on its own while both hands are occupied is a functional necessity, not a convenience feature.
The members are cold-formed steel, with a zinc plated finish that provides standard indoor corrosion resistance. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty side-mount slides in dry environments — it is a durable, functional finish that holds up to the contact and friction of repeated cycles under load. This is not a decorative finish and it is not rated for wet, washdown, or outdoor environments.
These slides require 3/4 inch of side clearance per side, which is wider than the 1/2 inch clearance of standard cabinet-class ball bearing slides. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet or enclosure opening to account for both sides. The non-handed design means every slide in the pair is identical — no left or right to track when ordering multiples for a multi-drawer cabinet or cart. In face-frame installations, rear mounting support is required; add series-compatible rear brackets (sold separately) to carry the back end of the slide.
Per pair. The 550 lb capacity applies to both slides working together as installed — do not double the number by counting each slide separately.
Hold-in keeps the drawer closed — it prevents drift and bounce-back after the drawer is pushed shut. Hold-out keeps the drawer open at full extension until intentionally pushed closed. Both are mechanical detents, not springs or dampers; the drawer stays in whichever position it is placed.
No. There is no damper on this slide. The hold-in detent stops the drawer from rebounding after a firm close, but closing is not damped. If soft-close is a requirement, this is not the right slide.
No — the slide is non-handed. Both slides in the pair are identical, and either one mounts to either side of the drawer.
Yes, with rear mounting support. Side-mount slides in face-frame construction need a bracket at the back to carry the rear end of the slide. Add the appropriate rear mounting brackets for this series, sold separately.
When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and hands-free access matters, this 42 inch zinc-finished ball bearing slide delivers the capacity and the detent control to keep the work moving.
