This is a 44 inch full-extension side-mount ball bearing drawer slide from Fulterer, rated 550 lb per pair, with a hold-in/hold-out detent system that keeps the drawer positively in place whether it is closed or fully open. The zinc finish is the standard industrial choice for indoor heavy-load installations where corrosion resistance and long service life both matter.
At 44 inches and 550 lb of capacity per pair, this slide is not for kitchen cabinetry. It is built for the drawers that take real punishment: industrial workbench drawers carrying tools and hardware, equipment cabinets in fabrication shops, server and data rack pull-outs, machine shop bases, and utility carts where the drawer must stay shut on a moving vehicle and stay open hands-free during service. The hold-out detent is particularly useful in those last scenarios — it holds the drawer at full extension without a stand-in, so one person can service the contents alone. The hold-in detent means the drawer will not drift or bounce back open after it is pushed closed, even under vibration.
The slide is cold-formed steel with a zinc electroplate finish. Zinc is the working standard for heavy-duty side-mount slides: it handles the corrosion demands of a dry indoor environment, resists the oils and cutting fluids common in shop settings, and does not telegraph rust onto stored contents the way unfinished steel eventually does. This is a functional, durable finish on a product designed to stay in service for years under load. It is not a decorative finish and is not rated for outdoor, marine, or washdown environments.
The 44 inch closed length suits deep equipment bays, full-depth workbench drawers, and tool chest bases where a shorter slide would leave a significant dead zone at the back. Because this is a full-extension slide, the entire drawer clears the opening at full travel — nothing stays hidden inside the cabinet. Build the drawer box to leave 3/4 inch of side clearance for each slide, which is wider than the 1/2 inch standard for lighter cabinet slides; the heavier chassis at this load class requires it. The non-handed design means both slides in a pair are identical, so there is no left/right inventory to manage across a multi-drawer installation.
The 550 lb rating is per pair — the two slides working together as installed. Do not double it by counting each slide separately.
Hold-in is a detent that keeps the drawer positively closed until it is pulled open; hold-out is a detent that keeps the drawer fully open until it is pushed closed. This slide has both, so the drawer snaps into place in both positions.
No. The detents hold the drawer in position at both ends of travel, but there is no damper. The drawer does not slow to a controlled close — it stops because the detent catches it. For a damped close, look at the Fulterer soft-close series instead.
Side-mount slides at this length and load class need rear support in face-frame construction. Add the matching rear mounting brackets for the series — brackets are not included and are series-specific.
The heavier chassis required to carry 550 lb per pair is physically larger than a standard 100 lb cabinet slide. Build the drawer box 1-1/2 inches narrower than the cabinet opening to leave the required 3/4 inch of clearance on each side.
When the drawer is deep, the load is heavy, and the work demands that it stay exactly where it is left, this Fulterer 44 inch slide delivers the extension, the capacity, and the detent control the job requires — finished in zinc that lasts indoors.
